TC West Coach Dies Unexpectedly
Feb. 23, 2017
Mike Wilde, the girls' head varsity basketball coach for Traverse City West Senior High School, died unexpectedly in his sleep Wednesday.
Traverse City Area Public Schools canceled its girls' basketball games against Petoskey Wednesday in the wake of the news. “Mike was personal friend and a true friend to TCAPS and to our students,” says TCAPS Superintendent Paul Soma. “He has coached football, baseball, softball, track, and both girls’ and boys’ basketball. He will be sorely missed.”
The 59-year-old was a long-time coaching veteran of both TCAPS and St. Francis High School. TCAPS said it would have counselors on hand at TC West "for students and staff needing additional support."
