Providence University College in Otterburne has announced the return of a former athlete and head coach to the men’s basketball team.
“It feels like I am coming back home again,” says Tim Friesen of returning to coach the Pilots program. “It will be great to be involved once again with a program that has already added so much to my life.”
Friesen was a former athlete at Providence and at Brandon University, and he previously served as head coach of the Pilots between 2003 and 2006. In 2004–2005, Friesen brought home the Association of Christian College Athletics (ACCA) national championships. He was also named Northern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC) coach of the year in 2005.
Friesen was Providence’s Assistant Athletic Director from 2003–2005 and the Director of Athletics from 2005–2008. Since 2013, Friesen has produced an impressive 45–29 record for the Varsity boys basketball team at Steinbach Regional Secondary School.
Director of Athletics Scott Masterson is excited to have Tim Friesen back at Providence.
