Babe Kwasniak currently holds the position of Civilian Aide to the US Secretary of the Army.  He graduated from Cleveland St. Joseph High School in 1994, after winning a State Championship while playing for his father, Tedd Kwasniak.  He then attended the United States Military Academy in West Point, and played four years of varsity basketball.  After a five year service commitment to the Army and a brief but successful career in the business world, Babe returned to Cleveland Villa-Angela St. Joseph HS as the head boys basketball coach.  In 10 seasons at the helm, he led the Vikings to 5 consecutive state title game appearances and won 3 state championships.  He was informed in late February that his contract as the head coach would not be renewed.  In today's episode, Coach Kwasniak tells his story and reflects on his incredibly successful decade coaching at his alma mater.  Please enjoy my visit with Babe Kwasniak.
