Coach Babler looking for the edge

Mike Babler is in his fourth season as an assistant coach. Coach Cindy Holbrook says, “Mike has a lot of coaching experience and will be a great addition to our staff. He particularly loves coaching the defensive end of the floor and will make us a tougher team at locking down and getting stops on defense. Mike’s enthusiasm and ability to break down film for scouting is also a real strength. I’m glad to have him join our staff, he has a lot to add to our program.”

In 2005-06 he was the assistant girl’s basketball coach at River Falls High School and before that was an assistant junior varsity coach for three seasons. After moving to River Falls in 1982, he coached several local boys and girls youth teams. He started his teaching and coaching career at Hamilton High School where he was an assistant boy’s coach. Babler helped lead Hamilton to WIAA State tournament appearances twice in the three years he coached there.

Babler is a 1977 graduate of UW-Whitewater. He earned his undergraduate degree in education with a coaching minor. He is also the head girl’s soccer coach at River Falls High School. He owns Valley Services, Inc. – Heating and Air Conditioning in Hudson. He and his wife, Mary, have two children. Their son Ryan currently attends UW-River Falls, and their daughter Sarah attends UW-Green Bay.
