Coach Jack Gabor has positively influenced so many young lives, both in the gym & in the classroom. Few coaches were as student-athlete centered as Coach Gabor.

Coach Gabor was & is still a mentor to many high school basketball coaches in the great state of Indiana. Jack Gabor’s coaching statistics speak for themselves. However, Coach Gabor is more concerned about the impact he is still having on his ex-players, who are coaches, administrators, &/or successful professionals in northern Indiana. Jack Gabor embodies everything that is good about high school athletics.
