Dave Chappell has resigned as the Westmont High boys’ basketball coach due to “increased responsibilities”
at work, said Warrior athletic director Jason Van Benthuysen.
Westmont went 16-9, 11-3 last season and shared the BVAL-Santa Teresa title with Evergreen Valley. The
Warriors fell to Lynbrook in the first round of the CCS Division II playoffs.
Asked what Westmont is looking for in a new coach, Van Benthuysen said: “Westmont views athletics not as
extracurricular activities but rather as co-curricular activities where players are expected to be student-athletes
and coaches are accountable as teacher-coaches. We are looking for a coach that is an educator and their
program is an extension of the school's educational program.”
