HeAD CoACH MICHAeL BARIMichael Bari enters his fifth season as the head women’s basketball coach at Louisiana State Uni-versity-Eunice and is coming off back to back record setting seasons and a trip to the 2007 NJCAA National Tournament. Bari’s first season saw the Lady Bengals program set a school record with 19 wins, the first win-ning season in school history. The Lady Bengals also won their first round district playoff game against Johnson County Community College 57-53. The Lady Bengals fell short of a NJCAA Division II National Tournament bid with a loss to North Arkansas Community College 95-92. Before coming to LSUE, Bari was the former athletic director, head men’s basketball coach, head women’s basketball coach and head of the physical education department at Colorado Northwestern Community College. He also held the NJCAA Region 18 Women’s Assistant Executive Director Posi-

tion and Scenic West Athletic Conference Basketball/Golf Chairperson. Bari moved to Rangely from Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was the owner of Advantage Sports Consulting. Bari ran in-dividual and small group clinics for young baseball and basketball players. He also was a seminar director for elderly groups and helped them with health related issues. Prior to moving out of the coaching arena for five years, Bari was the head baseball coach and assistant women’s bas-ketball coach at Gannon University, an NCAA D-II institution in Erie, Pennsylvania. While at Gannon, Bari led the Golden Knights baseball team to a school record 23 wins in is final season. He also was a member of the NCAA Central Atlantic Regional Selection Committee for two years. Before taking over the Gannon Golden Knights program, Bari spent one season at Alderson Broaddus College in Phillipi, West Virginia. As the head women’s basketball coach, Bari led the Battlers to a 10-17 record in his only season and a WVIAC Tournament berth. Bari also assisted with the women’s volleyball program, taught in the health/physical education department and started a club softball team. Bari’s first coaching experience came when he was hired to the Penn State University- Behrend College campus in 1986. As the head baseball coach, Bari took over a program in transition from a NJCAA program to an NCAA Division III program. He also was assistant women’s basketball coach, intramural supervisor, radio an-nouncer and health/physical education instructor.
