Why Haughton's Terry Josting is coaching again after 4-year absence

When Haughton boys basketball coach Robert Price recently left for LSU-Shreveport, principal David Haynie had to quickly find a replacement for the start of school. He turned to Haughton alumnus Terry Josting, a veteran coach and current teacher at the school, to fill in as head coach for a short-term period. Josting, 61, expressed his excitement about coaching the team and shared that his family was equally enthusiastic.

Josting's coaching career took a brief hiatus in 2022 due to a health issue, but he agreed to coach for a year to assist in finding a permanent replacement. He plans to retire after this year, making it a fitting way to conclude his coaching journey.
