Episcopal boys basketball coach Chris Beckman has resigned to accept a job with a local investments firm, effectively completing a jump stop on a 31-year coaching career.

Don’t know dick about him or Episcopal, but

I’ve been working part-time about five or six months working with my son on this and it has kind of exploded.


Investments in this economy?

I know the timing is not the best, but it was time to make the transition. I have meetings at the office (Monday). This is something I need to do for my family.”


There’s less than a month(?) left in basketball season, but he’s got to leave right NOW? For his family?

Seems suspicious, of course. I feel sorry for his players.

If you believe that a coach that has been there 27 years would leave before the season ends you crazy

I can’t believe he was still there that long.

I know that school has some long tenured coaches (Dupe on CC and track, Bougeois for football, etc) but that position had been a revolving door for a few years before Beckman took over.

Travis is one of the best people in the coaching profession.

Always liked him ever since he was an assistant.

He gets a lot out of his players by knowing when to turn on and turn off some traits. As opposed to his mentor who was a fricking a-hole who broke his hand punching a wall during a halftime meeting.

Let’s just say instead of the pick and roll it’s the dick and roll

Did he teach at the school as well?

Something else is going on.

let's just say the team members got a clear picture of why Beckman "retired".
