Three Indiana high school girls basketball coaches have been chosen as 2025 Bob King Coaches of the Year by their peers in the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, it was announced Thursday.
Lenny Krebs of Class 4A state runner-up Warsaw, Brian Satterfield of Class 4A semi-state finalist Hamilton Southeastern and Hollie Anson-Eaves of Class 2A state champion South Knox have been selected as honorees for the 2024-25 season through voting that occurred from late January through late February, IBCA executive director Marty Johnson said.
Honors are awarded according to IHSAA district boundaries, and one coach from each district is a recipient – Krebs in District 1; Satterfield in District 2; and Anson-Eaves in District 3. These three coaches will receive plaques as an IBCA District Coach of the Year during the 2025 IBCA Clinic, which is set for April 24-25 at Mt. Vernon High School in Fortville.
The Coach of the Year award is named for the late Bob King, the IBCA executive director from 1984- 94.
