The Bob Young coaching carousel between Mingus and Prescott High Schools has returned to where it started.

Young, who resigned from Mingus earlier this year to take-over the Prescott program, has decided to return to his former job at his former school.  Young replaces Neil Dixon, Young's long-time assistant, who was named head coach after Young left for Prescott.

Young was named Mingus head coach in 1997, but left for two years while he coached at Westwood.  Mingus won the 4A state title in Young's first year in '97.

With practice beginning August 1st, Prescott is expected to name an assistant as interim coach for the 2011 season.
