Bill Barnett steps down at Seminole
Seminole boys basketball coach Bill Barnett has resigned as coach.
Barnett coached the Warhawks for six seasons. Last season, the Warhawks went 12-13 and took south county powers Lakewood and Boca Ciega to overtime before losing close games to both in the regular season.
He will continue to teach at Seminole and said he is “semi-retired” from coaching.
Taking over at Seminole is Josh Walker, who previously coached at Osceola and Dunedin. Walker inherits a Warhawks team that returns 10 of 14 players from last season.

Congrats Coach Walker. I still remember a lot things that you tuaght me Dunedin and I will always remember that. You are a real good coach, just slow down with the arguing with the refs we all know that their are not that good lol, to be honest we see that they are not that good in the NBA, but once again congrats. I know this is your dream job.
