Jeff Sink said the 2017-18 season will be his final season coaching Brea Olinda girls basketball.
Sink, 66, has coached Brea’s Ladycats to 10 CIF-Southern Section championships and five state titles. The 2017-18 season will be his 22nd coaching Brea’s girls. The 22 years is spread over two stints; he coached the school’s boys basketball team for two years earlier this decade.
Sink confirmed his decision by email today.
His career record with the Ladycats is 579-99. Brea’s girls basketball program had been successful under coaches Mark Trakh and later, and briefly, John Hattrup. That success continued with Sink who coached in Alaska before going to Brea Olinda High in 1994.
Brea’s most-recent state title was in the 2015-16 season. The Ladycats’ most-recent CIF-SS championship was in the 2009-10 season. Sink coached Brea to five consecutive CIF-SS titles from the 1994-95 through 1998-99 seasons.
He is a history teacher at Brea Olinda. Sink also is an avid photographer and traveler, with Africa being a preferred destination.
Brea’s 10 overall state championships is the most in CIF girls basketball history.
