John Linn's 35 years in education allowed him to serve in a number of roles and in several schools across Kansas, and all the while, he never lost the competitive fire and desire to be a coach.
When the head girls' basketball coach position at Thomas More-Prep Marian became available, he knew the time was right to return to coaching.
“When this opportunity came around this year, ‘I was like, you know,’ I really want to get back into coaching again, and what a great opportunity to do it,” Linn said. “I know most of the girls. I got to have them in the class. I know how competitive they are, so the timing was perfect.”
Linn, who serves as the TMP business teacher, takes over after the school elected not to retain Rose McFarland after 12 seasons.
TMP finished 11-12 last season.
After finishing the season with no seniors, Linn says he will lean on the five seniors who will be a part of the program next year as they look to increase their numbers.
“I look forward to them being great leaders for underclassmen and being those people who continue to build upon the program and maybe getting more girls excited about coming in and joining our program and building up those numbers,” Linn said.
