TRAVERSE CITY — Dave Ginsberg has already made a career out of the game of basketball across the state.
Now, he's taking it to the national level.
Ginsberg, 66, was named Executive Director for the National High School Basketball Coaches Association on Thursday. The organization just hit its two-year milestone, but Ginsberg, who lives in Traverse City, is the first to hold his new position.
