Longtime area basketball coach Rick Rosinski is out at Green Bay Preble

The Green Bay Preble boys basketball team is unexpectedly looking for a new coach, and there are more questions than answers as to why. Preble athletic director Tim Flood sent an email to the basketball players and their parents May 7 to inform them that Rick Rosinski is no longer the coach. “Coach Rosinski has resigned from his coaching position at Preble,” Flood wrote.

“We want to thank him for all of his time and dedication to the program over the past three years and wish him luck in his future endeavors. “We will start the process of hiring a new coach soon. ” It’s not clear whether it was Rosinski’s choice to step down or if he was forced to do so.

“I have no comment,” said Rosinski, who is a teacher at Green Bay East. Flood did not immediately respond to a message. The Hornets have shown some improvement the past two seasons after going 6-20 and finishing ninth in the 10-team Fox River Classic Conference in Rosinski’s first year in 2023-24.

They have won 10 or more games in each of the last two seasons. Preble went 10-15 this season and finished seventh in the league standings. It beat a traditionally tough Sheboygan North team, twice held halftime leads against a De Pere squad that won the league championship and earned a trip to the WIAA Division 1 state tournament and had a 13-point halftime lead against Bay Port in the first meeting before wilting in the second half.
