Oliva confirmed to TopSports.news that he resigned last week, but declined further comment.
Oliva compiled a winning percentage of .775 at Seaman, including 5A state berths in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and a Centennial League title in 2022.
Oliva's Vikings posted a 20-3 record in 2022 and did not win fewer than 18 games during his Seaman tenure, including an 18-8 record this past spring.
Oliva was named the Centennial League coach of the year and the TSN Shawnee County co-coach of the year in 2022.
Prior to taking over as Seaman's head coach, Oliva had a 12-year stint as a Viking assistant under Steve Bushnell and also served as Royal Valley's head boys baseball coach for three seasons and as the Panthers' boys basketball coach for two seasons.

"Cam is first an outstanding person who also happens to be a two-time D-I All-American,'' Herron said in a Washburn media release. "We are very excited to have her join our program. She will bring her own ideas and energy and fits right into the culture here.
"We will also have her set the 'B' Side this fall to help her in her preparations for her own upcoming season."
Turner will join the WU staff in the fall after most recently completing her first professional season with the Grand Rapids Rise in the Pro Volleyball Federation, where she was selected 22nd overall in the third round of the 2024 draft.
Turner appeared in 22 matches for the Rise, recording 569 assists with eight double-doubles. Turner will continue playing in the PVF in 2026 after the Ichabod season.
Prior to the beginning of her professional career, Turner completed a standout four-year career at Kansas, where she was an AVCA All-American in each of her final two seasons (2023, 2024).
She tallied 3,758 assists, 1,067 digs and 279 kills in her career and was named the Big 12 Setter of the Year in 2023.
