SVSJ commentary: Helm’s sudden resignation as coach leaves Mount Si boys’ hoops program’s direction unclear going forward; upcoming search will speak volumes about what lies ahead
The announcement Friday by Mount Si High School head boys’ basketball coach Steve Helm of his resignation from that post was a very shocking one, one which will take some time for the Wildcat program to deal with, but that process is already underway. What comes of it, though, is anybody’s guess, and with that, the future direction of this program is very much unclear.
 
Helm’s resignation came about due to changes in his job at Boeing which necessitated additional time commitment from him; the coach told the SVSJ he works very long hours for the company, and in his letter to boosters, players and parents on Friday which we obtained a copy of, he noted that he had received a promotion.
