In the opening round of the 2014 WNIT, Coach Newbauer faced an Indiana team that included his sister, Andrea Newbauer, a senior guard.[3]

On March 27, 2017, Newbauer was announced as the 10th head coach of the University of Florida women's basketball program.[4]

On July 16, 2021, Newbauer announced he was resigning as Head Coach citing “personal reasons.” [5]
