On Feb. 28, 2020, UFV Athletics announced that the Cascades and Adam Friesen parted ways
UFV announced in late February that the longtime men’s basketball coach Adam Friesen would not be returning for the 2020-21 season.
Friesen, a coach that has led the team since 2012, had multiple winning seasons with the Cascades, which included playoff runs and a 29-game winning streak earlier in his career with UFV.
Friesen had just come from two seasons featuring playoff runs. The news came as a surprise to many, and a comment was posted on UFV Athletics’ Instagram page supporting Friesen.
No reason is known for the dismissal, or whether it was mutual.
UFV released a statement in which they said, “In keeping with privacy legislation and human resources practice, UFV will not be publishing the details of this matter.” No more details are known at this time. The Cascade reached out for comment but did not hear back.
Joe Enevoldson, a new hire for the men’s basketball team, will now lead the team as the head coach for the 2020-21 season.
