Kelso Out at Pontiac, McGlown Out at Berkley.

Written Saturday April 23rd at 5:00 PM

Boys Basketball in the OAA is about to get a major makeover.

In wake of the major coaching hire that Oxford made bringing back Steve Laidlaw two more coaches have officially left their boys basketball programs according to an accurate source.

At Berkley, coach Dave McGlown stepped down after spending seven seasons as Bears coach. It is not known why McGlown stepped down from Berkley. It is unknown whom will take over the Bears program.

Ben Kelso is now out at Pontiac after two seasons as Phoenix head coach. Last season Pontiac shared the White crown with Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield. Kelso previously coached at Waterford Kettering, along with Southfield in which he coached the girls (won two State titles), and in Detroit at Detroit Cooley where he won three State titles in the late 1980's-early 90's along with being at Detroit Mumford for a time.

Kelso and school officials have not gotten along at Pontiac lately, it was very similar to Waterford Kettering and he left on bad terms. Also mentioned was that his name was rumored to be linked with Oak Park as the Knights are in search for a new boys basketball coach.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest information on this developing story
