Coach Mike Pettine Sr has passed away

[Relayer]

Sad news out of Florida. As a Council Rock grad, there was always something special about playing his Central Bucks West teams, even if it was almost 40 years ago. Talked to him at a golf outing around 10 years ago, he was smart and had a good sense of humor. He got a chuckle when I told him my assignment was blocking man-child Ivan Lesnik back in 1979.

RIP Mike. In my book you will always be the greatest coach in PA history.

"The Last Game" is a great documentary of his last season in 1999.

RIP the only way I knew him was through the ESPN stuff.

Was a true legend. One of PA's best.

Many good thoughts from long time assistant Mike Carey. Quite a record of 326-42-4 in 33 seasons.

sad to learn of this.

If memory serves me, the last time I talked with him was at PSU. I can't remember if he was there for a Blue-White game, or for a Nike clinic.

Hard to imagine that another PA coach will ever have a run of success like Coach Pettine had at CB West.

Incredible record - Broke the mold with him

It's too bad we didn't have state playoffs before 1988. In the 3 seasons prior to '88, CBW finished 10th, 9th and 7th in the USA Today top 25.
