Holcomb now heading Simpson

Coming back to familiar territory, Jim Holcomb is the new head coach of the Simpson University men's basketball program.

Can't access the article in the Redding newspaper but here is his bio from the Shasta College men's basketball site:

Coach Holcomb grew up in Lookout, CA and graduated from Big Valley High School. After high school, he attended College of the Siskiyous where he received an AA degree and played two years of basketball. He then married and moved to Yreka, CA, where he worked and raised a family. He coached in 1989-1994 at the junior high level and then took the freshman coaching position at Yreka High where he coached four years. Then in 1999, he was hired as the Assistant Men’s Basketball coach at Simpson University where he was working on finishing his Bachelor’s Degree (while still living in Yreka). Coach Holcomb and his family moved to Redding in 2002 so that he could finish his teaching credentials. Jim coached basketball at Simpson from 1999-2003. Simpson University is in the NAIA II division as well as NCCAA II in Christian Colleges. In the 2002-2003 season, Simpson had 21 wins, with a Regional Championship and third place in the National Tournament in Oklahoma City. Then in 2003 Jim was hired as the Head Boy’s Basketball Coach at Anderson High. He coached there for five years where his teams won two league titles and played in two Section title games. Coach Holcomb and his wife, Jeanette, have been married for 34 years and have two daughters, Jill and Jennifer. His wife Jeanette is a Registered Dental Assistant for Shasta Community Health in Redding. Daughter Jill, is in the nursing field in Palm Beach, FL. and his other daughter, Jennifer, is a Deputy Sheriff in Palm Beach County, Florida. In his spare time Jim likes to go hunting, spend time outdoors, and most of all be with his family.
