Eivind Schweiss named Coach of the Year

Bethany, Oklahoma- At the ACCA Awards Banquet, Eivind Schweiss was named the 2009 Coach of the Year.  Eivind Schweiss helped spearhead the Men's Basketball program at PBC, starting with an 'empty cupboard', and in two short years filling the cupboard with many quality, student-athletes.

"It's a great honor to be named National Coach of the Year, especially considering what some of the other coaches accomplished this year.  Being a collegiate coach is never easy, but I have been very blessed to have a faculty and administration that from the beginning has backed the program." 

"My wife Andrea has been a great help to me and the team, from making team dinners to helping them with homework. My brother Erik has also been a tremendous help in tactical areas and with recruiting."

"Basketball is a fun game, but when used specifically as a tool to build character, can become a life changing time for a young man" Coach Schweiss. 

At the conference tourney in February, Coach Schweiss was also named the 2009 PCAC (Pacific Christian Athletics Conference) Coach of the Year.
