“Dave Heiss has worked tirelessly to help young men be better men by teaching them life skills through basketball. We thank Dave for his many years of service to the college as the men’s basketball coach and we wish him continued success on the golf course and in the classroom,” said Dr. Melinda Tejada, Vice President of Student Development.
While Heiss has retired from coaching basketball, he will continue to coach the college’s golf team and teach in the college’s Kinesiology and Physical Education Program.
