SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Ryan Bragdon is no longer the Central Valley High School head girl's basketball coach.
Central Valley School District spokesperson Marla Nunberg confirmed that Bragdon was no longer the coach on Friday. She said Felice Orrell, the school's girl's junior varsity head coach, will serve as interim varsity head coach.
"I did not resign," Bragdon told KREM on Monday.
Bragdon said he hasn't been given specific reasons for the move.
He said to his knowledge, the decision was made by Central Valley School District Superintendent Ben Small. He also said that, as far as he knows, the principal and athletic director at Central Valley High School weren't involved in the decision.
Bragdon also said that he heard a board member may have been involved, but he doesn't know who and in what way they were involved.
KREM has reached out to the Central Valley School District for comment regarding Bragdon's claims.
Nunberg previously said she couldn't comment on why or how the change happened and was only able to confirm it happened last week.
"Ryan Bragdon will not be the Central Valley girl's basketball head coach this year. We would like to thank Coach Bragdon for his commitment this past year and we wish him well in his future endeavors," Nunberg said in a statement.
She said Bragdon hadn't started the season yet and the district made a decision to go with Orrell instead of Bragdon.
