Ex-Terp Derrick Lewis takes over Spalding boys basketball

Former Maryland Terp Derrick Lewis has been named the varsity boys basketball coach at Archbishop Spalding.

Lewis, who was the Cavaliers' junior varsity coach this past season, previously coached the junior varsity team at Chapelgate Christian Academy. At Spalding, Lewis replaces Andy Bauer, whose contract was not renewed by the school. Bauer went 14-45 in two seasons, including an 8-24 mark this past season.

"I am very excited about the opportunity to head the basketball program at Spalding," Lewis said. "While I understand there have been different challenges and coaching changes during the last few years, I look forward to continuing the rebuilding process and bringing back the same enthusiasm to the program that everyone deserves. The atmosphere at Spalding is very positive and we play in an excellent conference. All the tools are here to be successful."

Lewis played at Maryland from 1985 to 1988 and also spent 16 years playing pro ball in France.
