During the 2002-03 season, he was an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin. He also has served as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa (2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons), and as an assistant boys basketball coach at Cassville High School in Cassville, Wisconsin, for three seasons.
