As Director of Special Programs for the Faculty of Social Science, he was pivotal in launching the very successful DAN Department of Management and Organizational Studies (formerly BMOS, initially ACS Administrative and Commercial Studies). Craig then joined the Kinesiology, now part of the Faculty of Health Sciences, where he coached the JV team before becoming the Assistant and then very successful Head Coach of the Men’s Basketball team.
