Tartan boys basketball coach Mark Klingsporn lands victory No. 700
Tartan coach Mark Klingsporn became the seventh boys basketball coach in state history to reach 700 career victories with the Titans’ 100-57 victory over Hastings on Tuesday.
Klingsporn, in his 37th season of coaching, has a career record of 700-283. The Titans, ranked No. 3 in Class 4A, improved to 23-0 this season.
Klingsporn started his coaching career in 1988 at North St. Paul. After four seasons at North St. Paul, he moved to Tartan in 1992. He has led nine Tartan teams to the state tournament — winning the Class 4A title in 2000. The Titans made eight consecutive appearances at the state tournament from 1998 to 2005. The Titans last reached the state tournament in 2014.
Lakeville North coach John Oxton joined the 700-victory club Jan. 31 with the Panthers’ 74-56 victory over Farmington. The other coaches who have reached the milestone are Bob Brink, Dave Galovich and Zig Kauls.
