BRIEF: Hinsdale Central girls coach steps down

Dec 05, 2008 (Chicago Tribune - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
Steve Gross resigned as Hinsdale Central girls basketball coach, athletic director Paul Moretta confirmed Thursday.

Moretta declined to give a reason or details of Gross' resignation, only saying, "He was not fired or asked to resign." He also said Gross gave the news to his players on Wednesday.

Gross, who remains a social studies teacher at the school, did not return phone calls or an e-mail seeking comment.

He was in his 15th season as one of the more successful coaches in the Chicago area. His 2002 team won the Class AA state championship with a 34-1 record.

The No. 10 Red Devils, who finished 31-2 last season, were 6-0 entering Thursday's home game against Benet.

Gross' varsity assistant, Morgan Kasperek, and sophomore coach Kelly Maley will take over the team on an interim basis, Moretta said. Kasperek was the leading scorer on the 2002 championship team and went on to play basketball at Iowa.

Moretta said he didn't know whether Kasperek and Maley will continue in their interim roles for the rest of the season or if he will begin a search for a new head coach. He said he doesn't believe that Gross will return to the team this season.

Reflections from an Interop Veteran and Alum

When I returned to the Fiber Mountain™ offices in Connecticut after exhibiting at Interop Las Vegas 2015, I couldn’t help but think about how much the event has evolved through the years. I have been attending this seminal IT and networking conference since its inception in 1986 when it was called the TCP/IP Vendor Workshop, focused on interoperability of various TCP/IP program stacks.

What Fiber Mountain's Interop Recognition Means for Our Industry

When Fiber Mountain™ began its journey with a launch at Interop New York last fall, we certainly believed that we had a solution that would make a significant impact in the data center space.

What On-Board Optics Means for Density and Flexibility

This past week I read an article in Lightwave Magazine and another in Network World about the formation of the Consortium for On-board Optics (COBO), a group that seeks to create specifications and increase the faceplate density of data center switches and adapters.
