Following Saints loss, Coach Rose steps down

 

Last Saturday, the Mt. Hood women’s basketball season came to a close with a 78-36 loss to Umpqua CC in Roseburg.

In her final game with the Saints, Marley Yates led the team with 11 points and totaled four rebounds. Freshman Madison Weaver added eight points and three rebounds.

The loss dropped the Saints’ season record to 1-11 in league play, and 5-22 overall.

Along with the loss, came the news that head basketball coach Tyler Rose was stepping down from the program.

Rose began as assistant coach for the woman’s basketball program under head coach Jocelyn McIntire in the 2012-13 season. After McIntire stepped down a year later, Rose was promoted to head coach.

In his two seasons as head coach, Rose finished 7-45 overall, 1-23 in league play.

Rose told the Advocate he resigned in order to focus on the coming birth of his first child, but wouldn’t elaborate any further.

Mt. Hood Community College has already posted a job opening on the NWAC website.
