Episode 59 - Mike Fuline - Head Basketball Coach - University of Mount Union - a podcast by Jon Cook

Mike Fuline is a born and raised northeast Ohio guy who began his coaching career in Rootstown, Ohio.  His success at Rootstown led to his hiring at Massillon Jackson High School, a Division I power in the state.  Coach Fuline led the Polar Bears to the 2010 State Championship.  The success of the program at Jackson resulted in the rare opportunity to make the move from high school coaching to the college ranks, nearby University of Mount Union sought out Coach Fuline to be a candidate for the vacant head coaching position in the spring 2011.  In 9 easons at the helm, Coach Fuline has helped turn the Purple Raiders into a perennial contender in the always tough Ohio Athletic Conference, and a program that has recently become a national power as well.  When the 2019-2020 season was ended prematurely because  of the COVID-19 pandemic, his team was primed to play for a spot in the Division III Final Four.  Please enjoy my visit with Coach Mike Fuline of the University of Mount Union.
