Two Trabuco Hills Coaches Step Down

Gary Bush has resigned as wrestling coach and Howard Stephens has resigned as girls’ basketball coach at Trabuco Hills High, Athletic Director Ranier Wulf said Thursday.

Bush, a 12-year veteran, wants to spend more time with his family, and Stephens, who had a seven-year record of 70-81, intends to pursue other interests, Wulf said, adding that both would remain as teachers at the school.

Wulf also said Andy Garcia, who is handling girls’ and boys’ swimming on an interim basis, will return to coach only boys’ swimming next season.
