Missouri Western State University Athletics

Brett Weiberg enters his fifth season as the Griffons head coach after being named the fourth since 1969 in 2013. Weiberg came to Missouri Western from Northern Oklahoma College where he has been the head coach since 2006 and replaces Hall of Fame coach Tom Smith, who retired in 2013 after 25 years at the helm. 

Missouri Western has qualified for the MIAA Tournament in each of Weiberg's first three seasons. He is 41-72 since taking over the program with a 25-54 record in MIAA play. Last season, Missouri Western knocked off a Division I opponent for the first time in 36 years as it went on the road to beat Southern Illinois Edwardsville. In 2016, Weiberg led the Griffons to their first postseason victory since 2010, a 70-54 upset at Washburn. A different Griffon has earned All-MIAA status in each of his first fours seasons. Cole Clearman was the latest as an honorable mention selection in 2017, following Aaron Emmanuel, Cortrez Colbert and Ryan Devers before him. 

Before taking over at Missouri Western, Weiberg, compiled 129 career victories in seven seasons at Northern Oklahoma College. He led Northern Oklahoma to a 27-4 overall record and the OCAC conference regular season championship in the 2012-2013 campaign. 

Weiberg brings 15 years of collegiate coaching experience to Missouri Western and has experience in coaching at a multitude of levels. He began his coaching career in 1998 as an assistant at Blinn Junior College in Brenham, Texas. Following stints at NAIA Wayland Baptist University and Division I Texas-San Antonio, he found a home at Northern Oklahoma College where he spent five years as an assistant before becoming the head coach in 2006.  In doing so, he succeeded his legendary father, Mick Weiberg.

Prior to beginning his coaching career, he enjoyed a solid four-year playing career spending the first two years of it playing for his father at NOC and helping lead his team to two conference championships.  He spent his last two years of eligibility at Division I Sam Houston State where he was voted team captain his senior year and led the team in minutes played.  He was also a two time member of the Southland Conference All Academic Team.

Weiberg and his wife, Kristy, are the proud parents of Jared Cole, Jayden Cora, and Jackson Cash.
