Justin Busch says his experience as a former player at Loras College convinced him to apply for a job as head coach. After spending this past season as an assistant coach for the men’s basketball team Busch was named the new head coach of the Duhawks’ womens basketball program.

Busch says he is not concerned about the transition to women’s basketball.

Busch takes over for Justin Heinzen, who stepped away from coaching after last season. The cupboard is not bare. The Duhawks were 24-5 last season and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
