Coaching career

Furjanic started his career in 1972 as an assistant basketball coach at General Braddock High School in North Braddock, Pennsylvania before becoming head coach from 1975-77. From 1977-1979 he was assistant coach at Robert Morris College (now Robert Morris University) in Coraopolis and took the head coaching job from 1979 until 1984. In 1984 he became the head basketball coach at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York for two seasons.[1][2] From 1991 to 1995 he was head coach at Woodland Hills High School in Pittsburgh.[3]
