The 65-year-old assistant coach captained Utah State and coached Weber
State but isn't actually from Utah. The Grace, Idaho, native and his wife
Ann have two sons, Mitchel and Nathan, and two grandchildren.
How do you spend your offseason?
Most of the time, my wife and I are at our home on Bear Lake. I work on
my yard, go out on my boat, ride my Harley. We love to spend time on the lake
itself. And I read a lot during the summer - I like nonfiction, history
mostly, particularly World War II.
You do a lot of charity work?
My wife Ann does, and I help, but mostly during the offseason. We used to
do work with wildlife rehab, so we had a bobcat living in our house for three
years, until it was ready to be released. We had a bobcat and a schnauzer,
but they were pals. We've had a porcupine, a squirrel, lots of animals.
For the past 12 years, we've gotten involved with the Navajo Santa program,
raising supplies and Christmas gifts that Ann and the group take down to the
reservation.
Had you always planned to be a coach?
When I got out of college, I thought my career would be coaching
high-school basketball. I was a graduate assistant at Utah State, helping
coach the freshman team, and the coach left and turned the team over to me.
We were pretty good, too. Then I just had some tremendous luck and ended up
working at a different level.
