Men's Basketball Team Info
The WolfPack men's basketball program took a major step forward on May 20,2010. That was the day that Scott Clark officially became the head coach of the TRU program.
Scott is one of the most respected coaches in Canadian University Sport. He comes to Thompson Rivers University after spending 15 years as the head coach of the Simon Fraser University Clan. In that time, the Clan made the playoffs the last ten years.
Born and raised in Kelowna, BC, the move to TRU is looked at as a bit of a homecoming. Scott has a Masters in Degree in Education (Coaching Studies) and is a certified Level 4 Coach. He started coaching basketball at Naniamo Secondary in the 1980's and has served as an assistant coach with the University of Victoria and at Malaspina College in Naniamo. Scott has also worked with various national and provincial teams.
The WolfPack made significant improvement in Clark's first year at the helm. One of their players, Greg Stewart (Kamloops, BC) was named the Canada West and CIS Defensive Player of the year.
Veterans Chas Kok (Lynden, WA) and Kevin Pribilsky (Victoria, BC) will be the leaders on this squad in 2011-12.
Other key players in the fortunes of the 'Pack are expected to be second year guards Brett Rouault (Vernon, BC) and Brett Parker (Langley, BC).
The WolfPack will see a whole new look in 2011-12 as Coach Clark has recruited nine new players, many of whom were stand outs in BC High School Basketball this past season.
