WINONA, Minn. — After 31 years coaching basketball at Winona High School, Tim Gleason is retiring his whistle — at least in part. Gleason, age 55, said he will be focusing on his teaching music and coaching track and field. Gleason has spent three-plus decades as a girls basketball coach and 19 years has head coach. He helped lead the program to back-to-back Class AAA state championship games in 2016 and 2017, as well as a Big 9 Conference title in 2017. He was named the Minnesota State High School Coaches Association Class AAA state coach of the year in 2016. He was also an assistant on the 2003 state tournament team that placed third and the 1999-2000 conference title team.
