Gillett boys basketball coach resigns

William Greenwood II has resigned as the varsity boys basketball coach at Gillett Secondary School to pursue a career in the private sector. Greenwood coached the Tigers varsity for one season, tallying a 7-17 record after replacing Matt Polomis. “He put a lot of time and effort into the program to help build a positive experience for the players and bring excitement to the basketball program,” Gillett School District Superintendent Todd Carlson said. Greenwood taught science, with a specialty in chemistry, at the school. Before arriving at Gillett, he taught at Menominee Indian High School. He previously worked at Sigma-Aldrich Chemical and Sexing Technologies. The district has filled the teaching position, but there is no timetable for finding a new coach, Carlson said. “(We) are working on finding a quality replacement for the coaching position,” he said. Greenwood’s only season with Gillett was his first opportunity as a high school head coach. He accepted the position in July 2013. Greenwood could not be reached for comment.
