Top Coaches

[thegame523]

I definitely feel like Szabo has to be mentioned as one of the top coaches. He took over a basketball program that had never been to the Sweet 16, was perpetually terrible and turned it around. 2 Sweet 16s and 1 title is nothing to sneeze at, especially coming out of the region that Trinity does. About 10 years ago, or a little longer, no one even talked about Trintiy basketball except maybe to laugh about it. Now it has become a great program in a state full of great programs.

 

I agree, and I think I read an article somewhere that he is the most successful coach in the big 3 tourneys in Kentucky. I think the King of Bluegrass, the 5th/3rd, and the LIT "I THINK" were the ones mentioned. Don't blast me if I am wrong as I don't have time right this second to research and find the article. I will if I need to later on, but he definitely has done a great job. Didn't he win a state title in Texas before coming to Trinity???

I'll be honest, I can't remember what state he came from before he was at Trinity. All remember is that he wasn't local.

Texas....and the reason he has a better record in recent years is because Trinity has been able to lure better basketball players.
