“After much thought over a period of many weeks, I have submitted my resignation as Head Basketball Coach at Carrollton.” I have a daughter that will be a junior next season, and I would like to attend all of her games. I also would like to see as many of my son Josh's games (Head Boys Coach at Dieterich) as possible. I want to thank all that helped bring me to Carrollton in 1994, particularly Mike Barry (superintendent) and Max Greer (principal). I had a wonderful 23-year stretch at CHS, and it's a direct reflection of the outstanding student-athletes and supportive parents that I've had the pleasure of working with.

"I will greatly miss the Basketball Coaching Fraternity and officials I have dealt with over the years, and want to thank them as well. Another big 'thanks' to the sportswriters and radio announcers, your work has been much appreciated. My assistant coaches have been simply the best, and I can't thank them enough for tagging along. Finally, to my players and cheerleaders, we will be 'Forever Family,' and I will cherish the memories you made for me and my immediate family.”

Krumwiede’s record at Carrollton was 473-206, including 10 regional championships, three sectional championships and one super-sectional.

Besides coaching at Carrollton, he was the head coach at Franklin High School for two seasons with a 35-18 record and a regional championship. Overall his coaching record in 25 years is 508-224.
