Coach Z spent 25 years as a college basketball coach and developed a reputation as a “rebuilder of programs.”  Through his experiences he learned how to turn adversity into advantage.  He became the youngest Division I basketball coach at the tender age of 27 when he was hired at St. Francis College in New York.  He took a program that had endured two decades without a winning season and in only three years he turned them into a championship contender.  After being named Coach of the Year in the Northeast Conference he took on the challenge of building the University of North Florida from scratch.  In their fourth year of existence they were playing for the Sunshine State Conference Championship.  Moving on to UMKC he took over a program that had only one winning season in the previous eight and in only six years becamse the school’s all-time winningest coach.  And in 2002 he became one of only 35 active coaches to win coach of the year honors in two different Division I conferences at two separate schools. 

Currently, he is an analyst on ESPN and the Big Ten Television network.  He has also found time to appear in 6 films, including Along Came a Spider and an episode of Friday Night Lights.  And in the October he will release his first book entitled, “Birds-Dogs and Kangaroos:  Life on the Back Roads of College Basketball.”  

Coach Z preaches the benefits of a well rounded life.  His motivating style will help your company understand how to turn that stumbling block into a stepping stone.  He gives you a clear cut path to success and a true spark to ignite the passion from within each one of us.
