Meet the Coaches: Andy Weaver - Boys Basketball

How long have you been coaching boys basketball, including your time at Plainfield?

This is my 34th year coaching boys basketball. 1 year as a freshman coach, 4 years at junior varsity and this is my 29th year as a varsity coach. This is my 11th season at Plainfield.

Why do you coach boys basketball?

I coach basketball because I really like working with a team (players and assistant coaches) on trying to accomplish common goals. Building relationships with the players is very satisfying and watching them develop and mold into men. I've always loved Indiana High School basketball and Hoosier Hysteria.  The state tournament is my favorite time of the year.

What has been your proudest or most memorable coaching moment?

Proudest moment: Winning the 2021 sectional at Plainfield and winning the 2004 regional at Western

What has support from the Red Pride Booster Club meant to your program?

The Red Pride Booster support has been tremendous. They support all athletic programs at Plainfield financially and also provide scholarship opportunities for our players. 

What does success look like for the boys basketball team this season?

Success looks like a team that plays hard, plays together, and plays smart. Our goals are to win the Mid State Conference, Hendricks County Tournament, and our sectional.
