Richard Bossenmeyer has resigned as boys’ basketball coach at Orange, Athletic Director Dave Zirkle said Thursday.
Bossenmeyer was the Panthers’ coach seven of the past eight seasons, taking a sabbatical during the 1994-95 season. He is seeking a position on the college level, Zirkle said.
Bossenmeyer played on and coached Orange teams that won Century League titles. He was a guard on the 1984 championship team and then coached the Panthers to their next title, winning the co-championship in 1994. He was 90-59 in his seven seasons as coach.
