The 2018-19 season will go down as one of the best in program history for Golub and the Patriots. “I am very fortunate to have their support and they have helped me continue to coach throughout the years,” Golub said of his family. He served as head coach of the cross country team when Justin was part of the program and he coached Jason on the hardwood during the 2019-20 season. Golub is very thankful to have had the opportunity to coach his sons at Freehold Township. That support starts with his wife, Linda, who Golub calls his rock, and is followed by his sons, Justin and Jason, who are Freehold Township graduates. Golub credits all of his victories and championships to the many talented players he has coached, to his assistant coaches and to the overwhelming support he has received from his family and the community. The school has given me a lot over the years and I am happy to give back to the school and the community.” I have a lot of love for (Freehold Township).

I am just trying to help the team win as many games as we can. “It was just another win” in Golub’s eyes as he stayed true to his core value of taking every game one at a time. The Patriots defeated Summit High School, 58-36, to present the veteran coach with his 400th career victory.

His teams have won 11 Shore Conference division titles, four first place trophies at holiday tournaments, a Shore Conference Tournament title and a state sectional tournament crown. The “one game at a time” mantra is the core notion that has helped Golub lead the Patriots to success for 27 years. One season at a time,” he said this week.
