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.
