Paul Evans is headed back to the sideline.
Nearly a half-century after he started coaching men’s basketball, with a career that included significant success at the collegiate level, the 77-year-old is coming out of retirement to take the helm of the varsity boys squad at Admiral Farragut Academy.
His last coaching stint was nearly a decade ago, but he was approached with the opportunity just a short drive from home and got the itch once again.
“I got a call from one of the board members at the school,” he told The Gabber in an interview last week. “One of my former Navy players is good friends with a board member. That’s how I got involved.”
His last coaching stop was at Gonzaga College High School, a Catholic all-boys high school in Washington, D.C. After several seasons there, he moved to Treasure Island about eight years ago.
He is best known for his success over more than two decades as a college head coach, beginning 49 years ago with the Saints of St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. In seven seasons during the 1970s his teams won six conference championships and five tournament appearances in Division II and III.
