Another high-profile girls basketball program in Orange County is seeking a coach.

Los Alamitos girls basketball coach Rich Alvarez, who guided the Griffins to five consecutive 20-win seasons and four Sunset League titles, has resigned, athletic director Richard Smith announced Friday.

The Griffins finished 20-9 this past season, placed second in the Surf League and lost in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 playoffs at Aliso Niguel.

Alvarez delivered one of his best seasons in 2017-18. After losing standout Cailyn Crocker to a transfer to Mater Dei, he guided Los Alamitos to a 25-7 overall record, an undefeated Sunset League record and a trip to the CIF-SS Division 1 semifinals.

The Griffins also reached the SoCal regional playoffs. The team included sophomore Asia Avinger, who later transferred to Rosary.

Alvarez contended for Orange County coach of the year honors.

Los Alamitos earned a share of the Sunset League crown in 2016-17 and finished 21-7.

The Griffins went 10-0 in the Sunset League in 2015-16 en route to a 22-6 overall record.

In his first season, Alvarez led Los Alamitos to a 21-7 mark and a league crown.

Alvarez’s resignation follows the departure of Mary Rossignol at JSerra and the resignation of Stephanie Anderson at Brea Olinda.

Alvarez previously coached the varsity boys at Huntington Beach.
