Josh Oglesby has tweaked his basketball dream.
Instead of playing pro basketball for a living, he'd like to coach the game he loves at the highest level in college.
He's gotten off to an early start.
Oglesby, 23, is currently working as a volunteer assistant coach with the men's basketball program at Mount Mercy University and he's also running his own basketball camps at the college in northeast Cedar Rapids.
Oglesby starred at Cedar Rapids Washington, where he was the Class 4A Player of the Year in 2011, and he was a four-year letterman for the Iowa Hawkeyes, graduating in 2015 with 126 3-pointers to rank eighth in school history.
Oglesby, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, scored 633 games during his UI career and averaged a modest five points per game. He enjoyed his four years with the Hawkeyes, even though he did not have as much individual success as he wanted.
Cedar Rapids Washington's Logan Black-Marchand took top honors at 145 pounds Saturday, leading the Washington wrestling team to a fifth-place finish at the Central DeWitt Tournament.
