"Kevin Kiernan, the winningest girls' coach in state history with 900 career wins, according to CalHiSports, has come out of retirement for a second stint at Troy, where he coached for 11 years before heading over to Mater Dei for an 18-year run as girls' coach and later athletic director. He's also coached at Westminster La Quinta as well as boys' basketball and was women's coach at Cypress College."
"Two issues that he dealt with - an injured hip and throat surgery to help his voice - have been taken care of. "Voice is great," said Kiernan, whose daughter, Kaidyn, is a junior on the team. That's bad news for opponents, players and maybe some officials. His experience alone should be beneficial to Troy, which is scheduled to be in eight tournaments and showcases."
