Montana State
A native of Butte, Montana, and a graduate from Western Montana in 1960, Lubick's coaching career began in Bozeman as an assistant coach at Montana State in 1970. After eight seasons with the Bobcats, Lubick was named head coach at Montana State prior to the 1978 season. Lubick's first season was wildly successful, as the Bobcats finished 8–2 overall and second place in the Division I-AA Big Sky Conference at 4–2. The following year the Bobcats won the Big Sky with a 6–1 league record (6–4 overall).
The following two years, however, would see a decline. In 1980, Montana State plummeted from first to sixth place in the Big Sky, finishing the season 4–6 and 3–4 in league play. Despite his popularity in Bozeman, Lubick was fired after the 1981 season after the Bobcats fell to 3–7.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“Scepticism is an ability, or mental attitude, which opposes appearances to judgments in any way whatsoever, with the result that, owing to the equipollence of the objects and reasons thus opposed we are brought firstly to a state of mental suspense and next to a state of “unperturbedness” or quietude.”
—Sextus Empiricus (2nd or 3rd cen., A.d.)
