Coach Darren Vorderbruegge back row, center |
Men’s basketball coach Darren Vorderbruegge spent time in
China during late July and early August. This was his fourth trip to the
country, directing youth basketball camps and leading coaching clinics, and
graduate assistants Michael Johnson and Tyler Harris and players Spencer
Vering, Darnell Bettis, and David Rowlands joined him. This year,
Vorderbruegge assisted young players in Kunming, Wenzhou, and Hangzhou,
and he also was the featured speaker at a three-day coaches’ clinic in
Shaoxing.
When asked about the trip, Coach V stated, “It’s a lot of
hard work in hot weather. But, it’s very rewarding. The kids and coaches
are excited and receptive to be exposed to American basketball. This
opportunity is a tremendous way to give back to the sport and most importantly
to represent Hawai‘i Pacific University on the global stage.”
Vorderbruegge received honors this year as the PacWest
Conference, West Region, and NCAA DII National Coach of the Year.
