Bloomfield Hills Looking for New Boys Basketball Coach.

Written Thursday April 27th at 9:30 PM

It looks like “Crazy Mike” has left the building.

Mike Maryanski has stepped down from Bloomfield Hills according to State Champs Scott Bernstein last week. Maryanski took over the Boys Basketball program from Dwayne Graves in 2014 after he led the Blackhawks to the State Finals in their first season as a merged school. However internal issues forced Graves out in 2014 and Maryanski took over in 2015.

Graves now coaches Boys Basketball at Clawson.

Maryanski came over to Bloomfield Hills from West Bloomfield. Marynaski was Lakers coach Jeremy Dehna's top assistant. 

Maryanski led the Blackhawks to a share the White title in 2016 with Pontiac and West Bloomfield.

Bloomfield Hills moved up to the Red this season. They had a strong start to the season going 8-2 on the season but the Blackhawks went 2-9 the rest of the way, finishing the season at 10-11. Bloomfield Hills lost to Troy at home 54-47 in the district semifinal.

Whomever takes over the Blackhawks would be the fourth coach in five years.

Thoughts.

There has been some inner turmoil surrounding the program. That could had been one of the reasons why Marynaski decided to leave the program.

It will be interesting whom Bloomfield Hills hires as their next head coach. One possible name that has mentioned is Blackhawks Girls Basketball coach Jeff Rubin, although not likely to pursue the job, he has coached both the Boys and Girls teams at Bloomfield Hills Andover when the Bloomfield Hills school district split high schools with Lahser and Andover.

Whomever the next coach will be at Bloomfield Hills will have a solid sub-varsity program and the new facilities that the Blackhawks have. It’s a good job but you will be in a division (Red) with the defending State Champs, Clarkston, last season’s State runner up North Farmington, Final Four participant in West Bloomfield, State Quarterfinalist Troy, Southfield Arts and Tech, and Hazel Park.

It will be interesting who gets the job.
