Prior to becoming a head coach, Kaspar served as an assistant for some of the legends of college basketball coaching. Not only did he work for Harry Miller for three years at SFA, but Kaspar also worked on the staffs of Billy Tubbs, Gene Iba and Dr. Gerald Stockton.
During his one season with Tubbs at Lamar, Kaspar helped the Cardinals to a Southland Conference title and the automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Lamar advanced to the Sweet Sixteen that year, losing to Larry Nance and Clemson.
In 27 years as a collegiate coach, Kaspar has only been associated with six teams with losing records. In two of those seasons, the teams were one win away from .500 records or better.
