Arlee Head Basketball Coach Resigns

“Kind of a shout out to the whole fight kind of rise up together I mean thats what they are battling for trying to get this whole country whole world to rise up and fight together and stop dwelling on all the negative things,” Zanen Pitts (in 2017) That was Arlee Head Basketball Coach and Warrior Movement founder Zanen Pitts talking about their team dedicating their season to suicide prevention back in 2017. Since then the Warrior Movement has grown roots across the country and the Arlee Warriors have won two state titles and went 140-18 including a 48 game winning streak in the six years under Pitts. But as first reported by our partners at 406 MT Sports Pitts is stepping down. He said “I’m sick and tired of this administration… And now some of the new people that they’ve hired as the athletic director to go from what we already were going from and the new school board, the ones that were re-elected, I’m not going to put up with it anymore. I’m tired of it.” When the news broke many people took to social media to express their feelings. “I have been profoundly moved by the Warrior Movement.” “You are an amazing man and role model for your community and the young people you work with. I am so sorry to hear that you are resigning as the basketball coach.” Manhattan Christian Head Coach Jeff Bellach went to twitter…”nothing but love for Coach Pitts, the Warriors, the Warrior Movement. Congrats to coach on an amazing run and blessings to you and fam in future endeavors.” Pitts told 406 he will no longer coach basketball but the Warrior Movement is still alive and well and he looks forward to bringing it to even more schools now that he isn’t only associated with just one.
