Scottsburg decides not to renew boys basketball head coach Brent Jameson's contract.

In High School Basketball:

At a meeting yesterday, Scottsburg school board voted not to renew the contract of head coach Brent Jameson, who was 41-57 in four seasons, but had led the Warriors to back to back winning seasons for the first time since 2007. Jameson said he was blindsided by the decision, saying, “In 4 years, I haven’t had a single negative review. It has been nothing but positive support from my athletic director.” There is no word yet as to who will fill the position.
