Adam Rotar
Rainy River Community College women's basketball head coach Adam Rotar is leaving after one season.
Rotar, who coached much of the Voyageurs' 2014-15 season with only five players on the roster and compiled a record of 2-12 in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference's Northern Division and 6-19 overall, said he was informed by RRCC provost Carol Helland and director of student services LeAnne Hardy that his contract would not be renewed, but wasn't given a reason.
“I am able to finish my current contract,” he said. “I am disappointed by their decision, but I have to move on.”
A statement provided to The Journal by Hardy said that Rotar “will not be returning as RRCC women’s basketball coach next season.”
“The college will inform you when a replacement decision is made,” the statement further said. “This is all the comment RRCC will make at this time.”
Rotar, who first arrived at RRCC for the 2014-15 school year, had replaced longtime coach Dieter Humbert, who decided after the 2013-14 season to step down from coaching women's basketball to have more time watching his own children in grades 7-12 play sports.
