Kurt Virgin, head boys basketball coach at Eagan High School since it opened in 1989, left that position shortly before the start of the Wildcats' 2011-12 season.
The reason for the departure has not been made public. EHS athletic director Sandra Setter Larsen did not return a phone call from the Sun-Current seeking comment.
Mike Sullivan, who was to be the Wildcats' junior varsity coach this season, has been named interim head coach. He had returned to the Eagan program after serving as sophomore coach and junior varsity coach for eight years in the 1990s.
Eagan has played twice so far, losing to St. Louis Park 64-55 on Dec. 3 and losing to Wayzata 57-53 on Dec. 6. The Wildcats are scheduled to play Fridley at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, in the first round of a tournament at North St. Paul High School.
Virgin also has been Eagan's head boys soccer coach since the school's inception. He is the only high school coach in Minnesota with more than 400 victories in two different sports.
In basketball, he has 485 career victories and led the Eagan boys to four state tournament appearances, including a runner-up finish in 1998.
Before going to Eagan, he was head coach in girls soccer and girls basketball at Apple Valley High School.
