Arts & Sciences didn’t have to look far to find its new girls’ basketball coach. But the school will have interim co-head coaches this season: former assistant Lee Ziegler and former player Carrie Hill.
Ziegler has 17 years coaching experience, and Hill, an all-district player who graduated from CSAS in 2004, has been the boys’ soccer coach and a girls’ assistant soccer coach at the school.
“We had a lot of people who were interested, but we decided this would be the best fit for this season,” CSAS athletic director Mark Dragoo said. “Carrie will deal with the player personnel situations since she’s female and teaches at the school, and Lee will do most of the game-day coaching since he has more experience.
“We’re lucky to have people like Carrie who want to come back here and coach and help young people. We’re also lucky to have someone with Lee’s years of experience.”
Ziegler, who has two daughters currently playing for CSAS, will continue coaching Tyner Middle School’s basketball program. Dragoo said Ziegler assured him that he could balance both jobs.
