Roman Tubner joins the Governors after previously serving as the only assistant coach at Arkansas Tech since 2014. In that time span, he helped guide the Golden Suns to a three-year record of 73-19 which included two Great American Conference regular season championships and three appearances in the Division II NCAA Tournament.

Prior to Arkansas Tech, Tubner started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas-Monticello, and was later promoted to assistant coach. While there, the team had a 21-win season in 2011-12, and also coached three NCAA DII All-Americans.

In addition, Tubner has proven to be top-notch recruiter, highlighted by bringing former JUCO Player of the Year finalist Fatima Adams to Arkansas Tech. Adams went on to have a celebrated career – a two-time All-American selection, Division II National Player of the Year runner-up, Central Region Player of the Year and GAC Player of the Year – while averaging 22.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

As a player, Tubner was a two-year starter and team captain at Centenary College of Louisiana where he averaged nine points per game over the course of his career. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology while there before graduating from Monticello with Masters of Physical Education and Coaching.
