Former Marquette assistant, Schwab dies

Former Marquette men’s basketball assistant coach Trey Schwab has died, losing his battle from complications of the double-lung transplant he received more than 12 years ago.

The 50-year old Schwab had been an assistant in the N-B-A and the C-B-A when former Marquette coach Tom Crean added him to his Golden Eagles staff in 2001.

Soon after, Schwab developed pneumonia symptoms which were later diagnosed as the incurable lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.  He had to wait two years for a suitable donor, and he received a double-lung transplant at U-W Madison, where he later became an advocate for the hospital’s transplant program.
