Don Hiebenthal Assistant Men's Basketball Coach

Don Hiebenthal enters his sixth season on the coaching staff and is a familiar face when it comes to Warrior men’s basketball.  Don, like Head Coach Justin Sherwood, is back at his alma mater as a coach following a standout career at Corban as a player.

Don played basketball at Corban from 1975-79 and is still among the career leaders in several categories.  He is in the top five in career points scored (2,460), points per game (20.3), free throws made (534), assists (564), and steals (383).  Don was a NAIA and NCCAA All-American, and as a senior led the nation in scoring, averaging 29.3 points per game.

Spending 17 years coaching basketball and volleyball at Liberty Gardens Christian School, Don understands the opportunity sports provide.  “My philosophy is to strive to get the full potential out of each individual, not only in athletics, but in life.”

Don, who works for Campus Care at Corban, and his wife, Julie, have a daughter, Trisha, and son, Justin.  Don enjoys collecting old things – coins, cards, toys, furniture – and anything that has to do with athletics.
