Barney Slowey is returning for a fourth year as coach at UW-BC but comes to the program with a rich background as head basketball coach — 14 years in Phillips, 9 years in Birchwood, and 4 years in Chetek. In addition, he has continued his love for the game assisting on the bench for 11 years at Ladysmith and Rice Lake. He was the assistant coach for the North All-Star Team in 1989 and also has coached football and baseball.
Barney played varsity basketball and baseball for the BlueGolds at UW-Eau Claire and then, after four years in the Marines, he finished his degree at UW-Stevens Point where he played baseball. Coach Slowey has continued his love for baseball and is currently playing softball in a 65+ league, competing against area teams, in surrounding states, and at three national tournaments each year.
Coach Slowey has 25 years of experience teaching American History and English at the high school level. He was an administrator for 11 years — as Principal in Birchwood and Principal and Director of Instruction in Chetek.
Currently, Barney is teaching American History at UW-BC and has served as ESFY (Engaging Students in the First Year Experience) Coordinator. Coach Slowey is also co-facilitator of two Master's Degree Programs through Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. One degree is Educational Administration (Principalship) and the second in Teacher Leadership.
