Brian Barber, who led Monrovia to first winning season in six years, steps down after one season. Former Danville coach has 515 career victories.
Brian Barber has stepped down as boys basketball coach at Monrovia after one season. Barber, the longtime coach at Danville, led the Bulldogs to a 14-9 record in his only season at Monrovia. Jon Regashus, the athletic director for several years at Danville during Barber’s tenure there, was hired last week as Greencastle’s AD after one year at Monrovia.
Barber, who owns a 515-201 record overall in 30 seasons, coached 26 seasons at Danville, where he won 462 games, 12 sectional championships and four regional championships. He started his head coaching career with three seasons at Riverton Parke. “I’ve officially stepped down at Monrovia to pursue other career interests,” Barber said.
“We want to thank the administration, coaches, parents, fans, trainers managers, maintenance and custodian workers and especially the players for a great season. ” It was Monrovia’s first winning season since 2019-20. Monrovia joins Park Tudor and Zionsville as programs with boys’ basketball jobs to come open this week.
