Community’s Thomas Stepping Back From Head Coaching, Takes Warrensburg Assistant Job

After five years on the job, boys basketball coach Matt Thomas is leaving the Community R-VI school district at the end of the year. Thomas is moving to Warrensburg to take an assistant boys basketball coach, and teaching job.

Thomas says his relationship with Warrensburg coach Chris Nimmo played key in his decision. Thomas also sees some benefits moving from a Class 1 varsity coach to a Class 5 assistant.

Thomas says he’ll miss the relationships he’s built with his current and former Trojan players.

Thomas’ wife Carey is Community’s Track and Field coach and she will also depart the district at the end of the year.
