The domino effect continues on the high school basketball coaching front.

Crosby-Ironton’s Dave Galovich, who stands fourth all time in victories among Minnesota boys basketball coaches, has announced his retirement after 47 seasons on the bench. He exits with a career record of 824-402, and he goes out two weeks after Alexandria’s Wendy Kohler, No. 2 in state history in girls basketball coaching victories, announced her retirement.
