Antigo boy’s basketball starters protest sudden firing of coach
Antigo basketball traveled to Lakeland Friday night, but without their starting five – they’re all protesting the sudden firing of their coach.
Chris Schewe was named head coach of Antigo’s boys basketball team back in August. Parents received an email Thursday from administrators about Schewe being fired, but did not disclose a reason.
According to multiple sources, the firing stemmed from a comment made by Schewe in the locker room.
Players and parents say they have not been able to receive clear answers from school administration, who has also not responded to numerous emails and calls from WJFW.
