Want to get the word out that Coach Mike Listerman is hanging up the coaching whistle after 44 years on the sidelines. Holmes is hosting a celebration night on Thursday February 8th during the game with St Henry to recognize his years of service. It would mean a lot to him to see friends, former players,their parents and fellow coaches in the stands. As a tribute to Coach L, wear your best sweater vest.

 

On a personal note, I want to thank Coach L for his dedication to every player he has ever coached and even the ones he didn't, since Coach has been at Holmes I can say that him and his wife are two awesome people who care for people. Best of luck to Coach Listerman and his family.

Great gesture on the part of Holmes Bulldogs.

Coach L is as quality a person as they come. I never played basketball, but he always stands out as one of my favorite teachers from my days at Cov Cath.

 

Well done, Coach!

Best of luck to Coach L. My two sons battled him at CCH and HHS and he always gave them the upmost respect. Fine coach and gentleman.

Congrats on your retirement Coach Listerman.

Great coach and better person!!!

Big fan!

congrats to him and thanks to Holmes for recognizing him. How about one of you historians posting some stats. Schools coached, wins, etc.

Believe he was back at Highlands for the 1988/1989 season.

The sidelines will not be the same without Coach L. There is a lot of passion leaving the floor with that guy.

Have there been any other coaches who have had to knock a team coached by their son/daughter out of regions?
