Prior to coaching at UW-WC, Coach Hovorka was the girl's varsity basketball coach for three home school programs.  He also coached the Air Force varsity women's team for Grand Forks AFB while he was on active duty.  He is now retired after 27 years in the Air Force.

Some of Coach Hovorka's accomplishments were three consecutive years of over 20 wins, a number 15 ranking nationally for U-18 girl's homeschool basketball, and a number 5 ranking nationally for U-16 girl's homeschool basketball.

Coach Hovorka currently resides in West Bend with his wife Lee, kids Elias, Abigail, Hannah, and Timothy.

Lee Hovorka is the assistant coach to the Women’s Basketball Team. In addition to being married to head coach, Jim Hovorka, they have coached together for many years in various sports and at all levels.

Lee has over 25 years of coaching experience in the areas of basketball, fast pitch softball and volleyball within the organizations of homeschooling, community, and club teams. She is proud of her contribution in the pioneering efforts of competitive girl’s athletics within the homeschooling community in Wisconsin. Knowing the importance of team sports and having played as a young person herself, Lee continues to serve as an advocate for women’s athletics. She believes there are many life lessons gained in competition, commenting on these lessons, Lee said, “competition develops qualities in our character such as perseverance and determination,” she continued, “these two character qualities have come in handy over 32 years of marriage and raising and home schooling seven children.”
