Campbell out at Manatee

Shawn Campbell, Manatee's boys basketball coach the past two years, has been relieved of his duities, according to an email Campbell sent out Monday afternoon.
"Our staff was stunned," the email read, "as we had had two successful seasons including a second place (finish) in district and a solid performance in the regional."
Manatee athletic director Joe Kinnan said he and principal Robert Gagnon came to this decision.
"We want to try and take this to the next level," Kinnan said Monday. "It was very difficult with (Campbell) not being on staff here."
Campbell teaches at the Manatee School for the Arts.
Asked to apraise Campbell's performance, Kinnan said, "We've made progress."
Manatee went 31-21 under Campbell, reaching the regional playoffs this year for the first time since 2002.
