EAST MOLINE, Ill. — Editor's note: The video above is from Feb. 18, 2016.
Ryan Webber is stepping down from his head coaching position at United Township.
News 8 Sports' Matt Randazzo reports the WB6 basketball coach has resigned after eight successful seasons with the Panthers. Webber was 144-75 at UT with one Super Sectional appearance and one WB6 title.
Last season, the Panthers finished 25-7, a school record.
According to Webber, it's a decision that comes from his personal life — saying that he needs to go back to being a dad to be more active in his kids' lives and help his wife with parenting.
The search for a new head coach is already underway.
