Olind let go at Stoney Creek.

Stoney Creek will have a new boys basketball coach next season.
The Cougars let Coach Jeff Olind go after three years with the program.
The BCAM site (Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan) page confirmed there was an opening and another accurate source confirmed the news. The D-Zone basketball page also confirmed on X and posted the link on it’s page.
Olind went 19-47 in his three years at Stoney Creek. He came to Stoney Creek from Warren Mott in 2022 taking over for Steve Norgrove. Norgrove was really successful with the Cougars leading them to a regional final is coaching at Fraser and has done a really good job with the Ramblers.
Olind’s system just did not mesh with Stoney Creek. Program transition was a huge problem within the program.
Olind had some big wins in his tenure over Adams, Berkley, and Royal Oak but the losses hurt especially falling to Ferndale University and Southfield Arts and Tech both at home this past season.
Stoney Creek went 10-12 under Olind this season falling to Adams 48-46 in the district semifinals.
Whoever takes over the job at Stoney Creek will be the Cougars third coach in four years. There has been a lot of changeover in the last four years at the school from football, girls basketball, and boys basketball.
I will have more on the changeover at Stoney Creek on Tuesday’s podcast.
