Career
He is the former men"s basketball coach at Davidson College and the University of North Carolina at Asheville. He led Asheville to three National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament appearances. In 2003, they lost to Texas in the first round.
In 2011, they beat Arkansas-Little Rock in the First Four before losing to Pittsburgh in the Round of 64.
In 2012, University of North Carolina-Asheville clinched its third National Collegiate Athletic Association bid (all under Biedenbach) by defeating Virginia Military Institute 80–64 in the Big South Championship game. They were defeated by Syracuse in the Round of 64.
Biedenbach gave current Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes his first coaching job when he hired him as an assistant at Davidson. He played collegiately for the North Carolina State University and was selected First Team All-Administrative Committee on Company-ordination twice.
He was selected by the Saint Louis Hawks in the 9th round (106th pick overall) of the 1967 National Basketball Association Draft and by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 4th round (45th pick overall) of the 1968 National Basketball Association Draft.
He played for the Phoenix Suns (1968-1969) in the National Basketball Association for 7 games. In 2007–2008, the University of North Carolina Asheville Bulldogs garnered national spotlight attention because of 7"7" center Kenny George. Although the Bulldogs lost in the Big South Conference Tournament final game to Winthrop Eagles, 2007–2008 season was a very successful season.
The 2011–2012 season was the most successful season in Asheville basketball history.
After winning the Big South Conference regular season title and tournament, the Bulldogs were awarded a 16 seed in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament and played the Syracuse Orange, the number 1 seed in the East Region. The Bulldogs led most of the game.
However, they narrowly missed the historic opportunity to upset the Orange. At the conclusion of the 2012-2013 season, Biedenbach resigned his position with the Bulldogs to take an assistant coaching job under Buzz Peterson at University of North Carolina Wilmington.
