COLUMBUS, Ind. — Pat McKee, who made the successful transition from a career as a sports writer to that of a basketball coach, has announced his resignation as coach of the Columbus North girls.
McKee guided the Bull Dogs to three state finals appearances, finishing as runner-up in 2012 and 2016 and winning the Class 4A state championship in 2015.
“That’s the singlular top moment,” McKee said. “Getting to the state three times and being a few seconds away from another state title in 2012 also were big moments, as well as observing our players perform at a high level and some of them getting recognition.”
The Bull Dogs also reached the state’s final four in 2017 and won six consecutive sectional titles from 2012-17. This season, he became North’s all-time winningest girls basketball coach and had a record of 230-56 in 11 years at the helm.
