Currently, Luke is the head coach at Wabash Valley College, where he’s coached over 50 players who have gone on to play at the four-year level, with more than 35 advancing to NCAA DI programs. Earlier this year, he was named the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s (WBCA) Coach of the Year for two-year colleges.
