West Brunswick Basketball Coach Fired BY DOUG RUTTER West Brunswick boys' basketball coach Billy Mims was fired last week following a second straight losing season and the third in his five years at the high school. Principal Ed Lemon confirmed the firing Monday. Lemon hopes to find an experienced, successful coach to restore the once-strong bas ketball tradition at West Brunswick. "The feeling is the basketball program is pret ty down and doesn't seem to be moving at all and it might be appropriate to change leadership," Lemon said Monday afternoon. Mims said he's leaving the coaching position with his head high and his mind set on achieving other goals. "Nothing lasts forever. 1 did the very best I could possibly do with what I had." West Brunswick was 7-7 in the Waccamaw 2 A Conference and 8-16 overall last season. In five years at West, Mims' coaching rccord was 55-66. The Trojans were 6-16, 16-9, 21-6,4-19 and 8-16 under Mims. Lemon met with Mims and junior varsity bas ketball coach Chris Sanders last Wednesday. "The decision was we should start over with new lead ership in the basketball department," Lemon said. Mims said Lemon's decision caught him off guard. "I'm not bitter. I'm disappointed, but I'm not bitter. I was honored to serve this community as basketball coach as long as I have." Mims said he's thankful for the opportunity he had as coach. "I feel good about some of the things I've accomplished. I'm not going to hang my head low because I know I've done a good job." For now, Mims plans to remain at West Brunswick as a health and physical education "I feel good about some of the things I've accomplished. I'm not going to hang my head low because I know I've done a good job." ?Coach Billy Mims tcachcr. He is not ruling oul moving to another school in the future to coach basketball. "Right now my plan is to become teacher of the year at West Brunswick High School," he said. "I will put the same amount of energy into teaching as 1 did into coaching." "I'm not dying to leave just because I'm not coaching," he added. "There are a lot of good people here in Brunswick County." Mims said he will leave West if a good coach ing job opens up elsewhere. "I'm going to coach somewhere else. I'm an outstanding coach and I know I am." At West Brunswick, Mims established mand atory study halls for players, arranged pre-game mcaJs, organized a youth league, and took kids to team camps and Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) tournaments in the off season. "I'm going out with my head high. 1 think the positive things I've done have far outweighed the negative," Mims said. West Brunswick's best seasons under Mims were the 1989-90 and 1990-9! campaigns?the junior and senior seasons of superstar Ricky Daniels. The Trojans were 37-15 those two years. Without Daniels, who will play at N.C. State University next year. West Brunswick was 12-35 the last two years. "We haven't been very com petitive other than when Ricky was playing," Lemon said. Mims said West Brunswick's success in foot ball hurt the basketball program the last two years because several key players missed a lot of pre season practice. Lemon said Monday he doesn't have new basketball coach in mind and doesn't know when one will be named. "That takes a little bit of time, like it did last summer," Lemon said, referring to the hiring of Jim Brett as athletic director and head football coach. "We would like to find an experienced and successful mentor." Lemon said he hasn't been contacted by any coaches interested in taking the job. "When your program hasn't been very competitive you don't get a whole lot of that. We've had none of that." Lemon said he thinks coaches will be attract ed to the area, but might not jump at the job be cause of West Brunswick's record in recent years. The principal hopes to hire a new coach who can improve a basketball program that has had back-to-back losing seasons for only the second time in school history. West Brunswick High opened in 1972 and had 13 straight winning seasons, including a state championship season in 1975. The school has en joyed only three winning seasons since 1985. ?JTLW-rrLWw m w n w rn w / jl\ SOUTH BRUNSWICK MEDICAL GROUP Gary D. Ross, M.D. (Internal Medicine) Samuel W. Kirtley, M.D ?
