News Release
WARSAW — Lenny Krebs has informed the Warsaw Athletic Department that he is stepping down as head coach of the Lady Tiger basketball program.
Krebs finished his ninth season in Warsaw in February with a final record of 162-58.
He led the Lady Tigers to the 2025 4A state championship game after knocking off #1 and previously unbeaten Hamilton Southeastern in the Frankfort Semi-State championship game.
Krebs also led Warsaw to the last five Northern Lakes Conference championships and a current 36-game NLC win streak.
Krebs informed the graduating seniors and returning players on Wednesday morning.
“I am not leaving to coach anywhere else,” Krebs told the team. “I am not leaving to coach or teach anywhere else. I have poured out my life and my heart for you and this program for nine years, and I can’t do that anymore. You need someone to lead you who can devote the time required to give you what you need.”
During his time at Warsaw, the Lady Tigers never won fewer than 14 games (2023-24) and won 50 games in the last two seasons (26 in 2024-25 and 24 in 2025-26).
He finishes second in wins at WCHS with 162 (Will Wienhorst 316 from 1987-2004) and total games coached with 220 (Wienhorst 409).
He coached three Indiana All-Stars during his tenure, including Brooke Winchester last season and Brooke Zartman and Joslyn Bricker, who will represent the Hoosier state this summer. The search for the seventh head coach in Lady Tiger history will begin immediately.
Assistant coach Josh Fitzgerald will be handling the day-to-day operations of the team until a new coach is put in place.
