Kudrna replaces Matt Wallis, who was named men's head coach atthe University of Texas-Tyler on Wednesday afternoon.
Greg (Kudrna) will be a tremendous asset to our program, the community and the state ofMontana, Potera said. I'm excited that we'll be reunited. He understands our vision andshares my philosophy on high academic and athletic standards.
Kudrna assisted Potera at Texas Wesleyan from 1999-2001 and helped lead the Lady Ramsto a 39-15 two-year mark, including a 21-6 record during the 2000-01 season. During the2000-01 campaign, Kudrna played an instrumental role as TWU achieved the highest ranking

men's squad to the Texas TAPPS 3-A title and a No. 3 ranking among all private schools in
the state. Grace Prep Academy finished the season with a 28-9 ledger. In his 15-year career in
basketball, Kudrna has coached at all levels, including AAU, BCI, high school and college.
Greg's greatest strengths are individual skill development and organization, Potera said. He
is a very motivated and intelligent person that will help propel our program to great
accomplishments.
Kudrna has also worked in the private sector the past 23 years at W.M. Automotive Inc.,
where he currently serves as vice-president for productivity.
This is a great opportunity for me and my family, Kudrna said. I'm looking forward to
working with Coach Potera again. We want to build the women's basketball program to thepoint where we can bring national recognition to MSU. I love working with thestudent-athletes on a daily basis and the chemistry of a winning team. I'm very excited aboutbecoming part of an outstanding athletic program at Montana State University.
A graduate of Texas A&M University, Kudrna was a scout team player for the Aggies underthe direction of Dr. Shelby Metcalf. He and his wife Gina have two children, Tanner 18 andHaley 16. Tanner Kudrna signed to play basketball for Rocky Mountain College last week.
