“I am excited about the opportunity to coach basketball again and work with college-student athletes,” Wilczek said. “I hope to build on the foundation that the previous coaches have established at UW-M/WC. There are a lot of good things happening at the University of Wisconsin – Marshfield/Wood County and I am proud to be a part of this institution”

Wilczek served at assistant basketball coach at Greenwood High School from 1994-1997 and at Columbus High School, Marshfield, from 2000-2002. He was head coach at Columbus from 2003-2005. He has a degree in finance from UW-Eau Claire.

“Ron brings a lot of experience and success to our basketball program,” said Andy Keogh, dean and campus executive officer. ”We’re anticipating a winning season under his leadership.”

Wilczek replaces Chris Linzmeier, who served as the basketball coach for nine seasons. He was named “Coach of the Year” by the Wisconsin Collegiate Conference in 1999-00 and 2002-03.

“We are extremely grateful to Chris for his achievements during his time here at ‘The Wood’,” said Keogh. “We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
