Osceola hires boys basketball coach
By JOE SMITH
Published July 13, 2007
Josh Walker has been named the new Osceola boys basketball coach. Walker, a former Seminole standout, spent the past five seasons coaching at Dunedin - the last two at varsity (17-32). He stepped down at the end of the season for "personal reasons," but was quickly picked up by Osceola, which hired him as a math teacher. Walker replaces Wil Vaughn, who resigned this spring to take a government job in Virginia, Osceola assistant principal Brad Finkbiner said. The Warriors went 2-22 last season. "We hired a solid math teacher who happens to be a solid basketball coach," Finkbiner said. "It's a great two-for-one deal." Finkbiner said the school is currently trying to fill coaching vacancies for swimming, tennis and wrestling. Joe Smith, Times staff writer
