Staff photo by Dan Henry/Chattanooga Times Free PressSteve Redman has been hired as the boys’ basketball coach at Signal Mountain, replacing Wes Moore, who resigned the position after directing the Eagles to an 18-11 record.
“We are extremely fortunate to have secured a very fine teacher and an experienced basketball coach from a well-respected program,” Signal Mountain principal Tom McCullough said. “He’ll hit the ground running.”
Redman did just that, meeting with Moore assistants Butch Feher and Tony Kornrumpf on Monday afternoon and talking both into remaining with the program.
“They’re going to stay. Each of them has a great reputation in the community,” Redman said. “They’re obviously bummed about Wes but they care about the kids, and that’s exactly the kind of help I want, people that are interested in and concerned for the kids.”
Redman has spent the last seven years at Red Bank, where he coached the girls’ basketball team while teaching advanced placement classes in history. He admitted to mixed emotions about the move.
