“Both of these men are Springfield born and raised,” Springfield director of athletics Michael Dellapina said in a news release. “I think it says a lot about their character and their dedication to the future of Springfield basketball that they are continuing to give back to their community by pouring themselves into these student-athletes in their new roles as head coaches.”
Yinger is a Catholic Central grad who is an intervention specialist at Springfield High School and will be a first-time head coach.
Toliver, who is an enrollment specialist at Buckeye Community School in London, is a coaching veteran whose previous stops include Kenton Ridge, Trotwood-Madison and Middletown.
He graduated from Springfield South.
“We are excited to see how they can develop both of these programs moving forward,” Dellapina said.
