Stacey to be 'interim' coach
The players get what they want. Al Stacey will be Admiral King's boys basketball coach for the 2008-09 season.
Stacey will be an interim coach for the upcoming season, replacing Michael Scott, who left to become the assistant principal at Southview.
Stacey's experience speaks for itself. He had been Scott's most-trusted assistant since he took the Admirals job in 2003. Before that, Stacey was with Scott and Lorain Schools Athletic Director Bryan Koury at Southview.
Stacey's involvement doesn't end with boys basketball either. He assists Admiral King softball coach Pam Jackson and has been involved with Midview's football program for years.
With the timing of Scott's resignation this summer, Koury had said he wanted to conduct a full search. The current timetable didn't allow for that with the school year approaching. Stacey was more than qualified, the players wanted him as coach, and Stacey has always talked about moving south for his retirement.
That makes the interim tag best for both parties.

I think Stacey is a perfect fit at King. I wish that more people could be as dedicated to the schools as him. I will wish him good luck in the coming season but his drive and the respect he will get from the team should make all the AK fans proud.
