Central, Whitehavan get Coaches

High school basketball in 16-AAA will be as interesting as ever next season, thanks to a pair of coaching moves Monday.

 

Faragi Phillips, who coached Mitchell to its second consecutive Class A state title in March, will be the new head coach at Whitehaven, replacing Lawrence Myers.

 

Phillips inherited a Mitchell program that had won a combined seven games in the two seasons before his arrival and turned it into an immediate winner. The Tigers finished as AA state runnersup in 2012 and reached the quarterfinals the next year before dropping down to Class A.

 

“The pieces are there to have great success and sustainability,†Phillips said. “(Whitehaven principal) Dr. (Vincent) Hunter said all the right things. Winning means something to him ... (and) I’m coming in to win right away.

 

“The main thing is to build a foundation, first and foremost my ability to lean on the Lord. And we have to have committed parents and selfless players who are willing to put themselves on the backburner and lift up everyone else in front of them.â€

 

Central's Principal, Greg Mc-Cullough said John Anderson will coach the Warriors next season. He comes to Central after spending the last six seasons at Overton, a fellow 16-AAA school, and replaces Ricardo Patton.

 

“He had great success at Hillcrest and he was an assistant under coach Patton when he was at Colorado,†McCullough said. “And he’s done well at Overton; his success speaks for itself. And he’s a high-character guy, which is something that we had to have.â€

 

Anderson coached Overton to a 22-10 record this past season, losing to East in the semifinals of the region tournament. His 343 victories rank fifth in the area among active coaches.
