"Don Bosco Prep was the foundation that my education and athletic career was [built upon]," he wrote on Twitter.
"This school has been, and forever will be, a very special place to my family and I. I've created lasting memories here as a player and coming back to coach has been incredibly rewarding. That's what makes this day difficult for me.
