After coaching a high school basketball team to its best record since 1984, it appears coach Tony Armstrong is out at Springfield Catholic.

Springfield Catholic officials did not immediately respond to emails and telephone messages regarding Armstrong’s employment status at the school, but Armstrong himself confirmed his removal from the head coaching position, and Springfield Catholic is soliciting applicants for a head boys basketball coach.

Armstrong said he found out about the school’s decision to seek a new coach through a phone call from athletic director Sam Wutke.
