Coaching career

In 1952, Mudra was hired as an assistant basketball coach at the University of Omaha—now known at the University of Nebraska Omaha—where he was also pursuing a master's degree in English.
Mudra had an unorthodox coaching style. Throughout his days as a head coach, Mudra worked from the press box while a game was being played rather the sideline as most head coaches do.
