West Bloomfield new Athletic Director Thomas Degrand made his first coaching hire as Athletic Director.
The Lakers named Sidney Zanders as their new boys basketball coach. Zanders takes over for Coach Arnette Jordan who stepped down earlier this summer.
The MHSAA website confirmed the hire.
Zanders was an assistant under Jordan last season. He knows the system pretty well being Jordan's top assistant.
West Bloomfield has Jamison Webster, Quentin Allen, Nasir Moore, Shon Adkins, Jaylen Brown, Shannon Rochon, Dorian Jackson, and Euguene North coming back. Program strength is a concern for the Lakers this season.
The Lakers are in the Red with Clarkston, Ferndale, Avondale, Groves, and Adams in the Red. They will be in a district with Orchard Lake St. Marys, Avondale, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood, and Walled Lake Central in their district.
It's going to be very interesting to see how Zanders handles being the head coach and build the program. Program strength and being in the Red are concerns heading into the season.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
