Rhodes Resigns As Coach At Warsaw, Plans To Stay Involved In Game
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
To say the least, basketball is in Al Rhodes' blood.
Even turning in his resignation as Warsaw's boys basketball coach Thursday afternoon, he couldn't walk away from the game all together.
"I do wanna make it clear I'm not done with basketball," Rhodes said, his wife Kathy and son Curtis by his side. "Someday I'd like to make it at the college or pro level, but that's six or seven years away."
For now, the 49-year-old will keep busy by working with Five Star Basketball Camps, running the Al Rhodes Basketball School in Fort Wayne, and working with the devolpment of young players from the Bahamas, something set up by former Tiger and current Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox. He will remain a math teacher at WCHS.
Rhodes officially turned in his letter of resignation Thursday at 2 p.m., ending a Hall-of-Fame like 22-year stint as Warsaw's head coach. At 3:30 p.m. he held a press conference in the large lecture room, which was filled with players, coaches, administrators and a throng of media.
"It is with great pride I close this chapter of my life," Rhodes, who appeared choked up at times, read from a prepared statement. "The Tiger basketball program is the best basketball program in the state of Indiana. Twenty-six years (four as an assistant to Jim Miller) of tremendously hard work made that happen. Dedicated players and a dedicated coaching staff have made that happen. I thank them all for their hard work. Twenty-two years as the head coach at the same school is a rare thing in Indiana basketball. My wife Kathy and I have been fortunate to raise our two sons, Chris and Curtis, in a great community."
Much the way his program has been for 20-plus years, Rhodes was in the spotlight Thursday afternoon, giving his resignation speech in front of Warsaw mayor Ernie Wiggins, at least three newspaper representatives, three television stations and two radio stations - which broadcast the event live.
"One thing I've been fortunate to do over the years is work with some quality coaches," WCHS principal Paul Crousore said prior to Rhodes' speech. "I would say this is an opportunity to introduce one of the best. One thing I do know, he is the best math teacher I've worked around. Equally impressive is the fact that he didn't start his career wanting to be a basketball coach. I think that says a lot about what he's done."
A graduate of Penn High School, Rhodes received his B.A. in mathematics from Tri-State University in 1974. A year later he received his B.S. in mechanical engineering. In 1982, he received his M.A. in education from Indiana University.
Just as impressive as his laundry list of degrees is his accomplishments as a basketball coach.
Over the final 13 years of his career at Warsaw, the varsity Tigers posted a 258-61 record, a winning percentage of 80.88. A stat Rhodes said he was proud of, that winning percentage is tops in the state of Indiana among varsity programs.
Even with two losing seasons - including his second year when he only had four wins - Rhodes' Tigers still posted him a career record of 405-133 (75.3 percent).
Along the way, Warsaw won 14 sectionals, seven regionals, four semistates and the 1984 state championship. Under Rhodes Warsaw won 10 Northern Lakes Conference crowns, four South Bend Holiday Tournament championships, six Warsaw Holiday Tournament titles, two NLC Holiday Tournament championships and the 1995 Hall of Fame Classic, knocking off then No. 1 Ben Davis who won the state championship. Twice Warsaw has been No. 1.
Rhodes has produced 45 college players, 10 all-staters, six Indiana all-stars, three high school All-Americans and two Mr. Basketballs. His teams won a total of 49 various championships.
Among his numerous coaching accomplishments, Rhodes was elected president of the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association in 1996, coached the Indiana All-Star team in 1995 and coached the U.S. All-Stars in the McDonald's Capital Classic in 1988.
"This is I believe the best program in the state of Indiana," Rhodes said. "I'm gonna miss the players, but it's the time in the coaches office I might miss more. There's a tremendous sense of loyalty I feel around these gentlemen."
As for the future of Warsaw's boys basketball program, both Rhodes and athletic director Dave Fulkerson highly recommended long-time junior varsity coach Doug Ogle. The hiring rests with the school board, which meets Monday. Rhodes' resignation takes effect July 1.
Local Teams Compete In Plymouth Boys Track Sectional
By Dan Riordan, Times-Union Sports Correspondent
PLYMOUTH - The adverse weather conditions definitely had they're effect on Tuesday night's track sectionals in Plymouth.
Not one competitor in the entire field gave any of the sectional records a run for their money.
However, the contest did prove to be quite exciting.
Four local teams participated Whitko, Valley, Manchester and Triton.
Triton, the smallest school of the four, faired the best finishing third overall and leading at many points during the meet. The fact that Triton is small in stature compared to some of the competition was a fact not lost to coach Curt Kreft.
"I think we did alright," said Kreft. "Especially going up against a 4A School (Plymouth) and other larger schools, we fared well."
The Trojans did more than fare well. After 13 events Trtion was leading all schools including favored Plymouth and Culver Military. From that point on Kreft and his squad began to taper off but held on to the third-place finish.
"Going into tonight we knew that Culver, Plymouth and Rochester would be tough. We definitely felt like we could compete with them," said Kreft. "We knew however that to do that we would need a little help from other teams which we didn't get."
Triton will send 13 participants to next weeks' regional at Kokomo. Valley came in second among the local teams on Tuesday with a fifth-place finish overall.
According to coach Jeff Shriver, his Vikings exceeded his expectations.
"I think tonight went well for us," said Shriver. "We were on the bubble in a lot of events. Coming into (sectionals) we thought we could take a few kids out or none. It ended up that we'll be taking several to regionals. We ran well."
Valley's 3200 relay team of Jesse Olson, Andy Barker, Jeff Whetstone and Ben Vanlaningham broke a school record en route to a second place finish in the event.
Whitko, which finished seventh, will send its 400 relay team along with Joel Schrader who placed in both pole vault and high jump south to Kokomo.
Manchester, which finished eighth right behind Whitko, will send Sam McFadden to regionals. McFadden long jumped his way to a second-place finish in the event.
