The South Butler County School District last night voted to open the boys varsity basketball coaching position following the resignation of current coach Chris Andreassi.

Andreassi replaced long-time Knoch Coach Les Shoop following the 2005-06 season, and led the Knights to a 40-49 record over his four years.  Andreassi's teams made the playoffs only once, in his first season, and lost to Blackhawk in the first round.  Andreassi is a teacher at Knoch Senior High School.

Last season Knoch ended with a 9-12 record including a 4-8 mark in section 1-AAA.

The district will begin its process by only accepting applications from individuals already employed in the district.
