Bill Dushane began his head coaching career in 1984. 

He has started three different high school wrestling programs during his career. 

He started the Cinco program when the school opened in 1999. Under his leadership, Cinco became the only Texas High School program to claim a boys wrestling state championship (2007) and a girls wrestling state championship (2016). 

Coach Dushane was inducted into the Texas High School Hall of Honor in 1998 and received the Lifetime Service to Wrestling award from the Texas Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2006.

Dushane has been coaching since 1978 at three separate schools: St. Thomas in Houston, Notre Dame Prep in Michigan, and currently Cinco Ranch High School.

“It’s been really great,” Dushane said. “I started up the Cinco program 13 years ago. This is my third school and the third program to start from scratch, but all have been successful and fun. There are a ton of wrestlers I am proud to have coached.”

According to Dushane, the 600-win milestone is a testament to his long teaching career.
