The decision to resign was basic math for Dori Monson.
Between his afternoon talk-show on KIRO Radio and duties as host of pre- and postgame shows on Seahawks Radio Network, Monson said he averages a 75-hour workweek. Add his third job as Shorecrest head girls basketball coach and Monson’s schedule becomes ridiculous.
After 10-year run, Monson announced in May he could no longer coach the girls team.
“It was the toughest decision I’ve had in my life,” Monson said Wednesday. “I had some things come up this summer where I was not able to run my June coaching program that I’ve always done…I started wrestling with the fact that if I have these other competing interests and if I wasn’t able to run June ball, am I giving the girls the 100 percent that they deserve?
