MEN'S BASKETBALL: Ed Kohtala Resigns as Head Basketball Coach

Alma, Mi- Today Alma College loses one of its finest people and a valued member of its Athletics Staff as the Men's Basketball Head Coach, Ed Kohtala, officially resigned to take a position as an Assistant Coach under newly hired Head Coach, Matt Brown, at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Kohtala worked with Brown when they both served under Billy Donavan at the University of Florida. Coach Kohtala joined the Alma College family in 2001 when he was named the 23rd men's basketball coach. During his six seasons as head coach, Kohtala took a basketball program that was down and made it competitive again by instilling his work ethic and values into players he recruited to not only be valuable to the Scots on the court, but in every facet of the college community. Coach Kohtala came to Alma after spending three seasons with the University of Texas men's basketball program as an assistant.
