He recalls his time going to school and playing basketball at UM. Selvig speaks fondly of his first coaching job at Plentywood High School coaching the girls team. He reflects on the transition he underwent from coaching high school girls to the women’s basketball team at UM and the unrivaled success he had developing and molding both programs.
