Cullinan steps down

Rob Cullinan has announced that he is stepping down from his position

of boys’ varsity basketball coach at Laguna Beach High.

His resignation was announced last week to Laguna Beach Athletic

Director Mario Morales and the boys’ varsity team.

Cullinan’s resignation took effect at the end of the season, which

came last Friday for the Breakers following a Pacific Coast League

loss at University.

“My resignation is due to the personal and philosophical

differences that occur between the school and myself,” Cullinan said.

He coached Laguna Beach’s boys’ varsity program for the past two

years.

His final Laguna team posted an overall record of 10-16.

“Although we are not happy about not getting our 11 wins and not

going to the playoffs, much was accomplished this season, both

individually and as a team,” Cullinan said.

“We took a group of young men who struggled all spring and summer

with a record of 1-32 and turned it into a group that won a

consolation championship, played for another and won 10 games during

the regular season. That was great progress.”
