Steve Hickey: July 2011 Archives
Newly-appointed Summit athletic director Steve Hickey has decided that he will not resume his duties as boys basketball coach, as the school has opened up the position within the Fontana Unified School District.
The 41-year old Hickey, the all-Sun boys basketball Coach of the Year, was named Summit's athletic director June 29 replacing Ed Kearby, who was promoted to assistant principal at the school. After nearly a month on the job, Hickey wasn't comfortable with the task of balancing his old position with his new job.
"You have to be 100 percent sure, and I wasn't," Hickey said. "I didn't want it to be a situation where I didn't take care of my duties with the other sports on campus because I was focusing on the basketball team. I didn't want to be put in that position, so I will not participate in the day-to-day duties (of the boys basketball team)."
