Chip MacKenzie is in his fourth year as a member of the men's basketball staff at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is making the move to the director of operations position after three years as the video coordinator. MacKenzie came to UWM after spending three seasons as the head coach at Pecatonica High School in southwest Wisconsin, where he compiled a 40-26 record. In his new position, MacKenzie is responsible for many of the day-to-day operations of the program, including travel, equipment and practice scheduling. "Chip is a very organized, detail-oriented person who should do a great job with our operations," UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. "He has a very good basketball background and is a very important part of our staff." MacKenzie played high school basketball at Madison Edgewood before continuing his basketball career at Edgewood College, where he still holds the single-game scoring record (46 points). MacKenzie graduated from Edgewood College in 1990 and then served as an assistant coach at Edgewood High School for 10 years, as the team compiled a 156-81 record. He also worked for two seasons as an assistant coach for his brother, Dana, at Pecatonica, helping the school to a runner-up finish in the WIAA Tournament and a 40-10 mark. MacKenzie then became the head coach at the school in 2002. MacKenzie earned his masters degree from St. Mary's (Minn.) in 2007. |
