The Calgary Surge lost their head coach Friday.
The 2023 Canadian Elite Basketball League finalists announced in a media release that “coach Nelson Terroba has resigned to pursue a coaching opportunity in his home state of Texas.”
Terroba coached the Surge to a 12-8 record last season that was good for a first-place finish in the Western Conference. The team lost 82-70 to Scarborough in the CEBL finals.
He inked a one-year extension to return for another year in December, but apparently had a change of heart.
“Nelson played a pivotal role in the success of our first season,” said Surge GM Shane James in a released statement. “While this is a bittersweet moment for our organization, we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes in this next chapter of his career.”
