High school coaches get fired for a number of reasons.

I get that.

But the dismissal of Butler girls basketball coach Joe Lewandowski after just two seasons is a tough one to swallow.

Reasons disclosed publicly to explain this move have been vague at best. On the surface, it looks like parental complaints about alleged intimidation and/or mistreatment of players in the program.

Didn’t we go down this road just a couple of years ago?

If the reasons for dismissal are justifiable, fine. I just wish we — and the taxpaying public — knew what they were.

The school board vote to dismiss Lewandowski was 6-3. Apparently, not everyone was convinced changing girls basketball coaches at this point was the way to go.

Lewandowski took over the head coaching position in early December of 2015 as Dorothea Epps resigned shortly before the start of the season. Dealing with a young team, some players quitting, some staying, Lewandowski fashioned a 3-19 record that season.

In only his second season, he led Butler to a 10-12 record and a WPIAL playoff berth despite having no seniors on the roster. The team ran into defending WPIAL champion Norwin in the first round of the playoffs and lost by a lopsided score.

Now all of these returning players will be dealing with a new coach.

Next year’s seniors will be dealing with their third different head coach in four years.

What is going on here?

Lewandowski was removed as head coach of the boys basketball team after seven seasons because he didn’t win enough. Butler had two winning seasons and one playoff appearance during his tenure with that program.

Wins and losses can’t be the reason this time — the win total drastically increased with a still-young team — and Lewandowski certainly knows the game. He’s guided the USA 3-on-3 basketball teams to medals in international competition.

Again, high school coaches get fired for different reasons.

Rich Smith was baseball coach at Garden City (N.Y.) for 50 years and was fired because of complaining parents despite a petition signed by 13,600 people to keep him.

Parkway (La.) football coach David Feaster was fired because he wouldn’t let Alabama coach Nick Saban recruit on campus.

Joe Kennedy, a Washington state high school football coach, was fired because he prayed before a game.

Prominent coaches in the WPIAL have been inexplicably replaced for reasons that were never specifically disclosed.

I guess this shouldn’t feel so shocking to me.

But it does.

Joe Lewandowski is a good man, a good teacher and a positive person.

If he’s bad for this program, who in the world is good enough for it?
