Frederick Douglas Wojcik (pronounced WO-jick) (born April 12, 1964) is an American college basketball coach.
Wojcik is the former men's basketball head coach at both the College of Charleston and the University of Tulsa. He is a native of Wheeling, West Virginia.
Doug Wojcik's younger brother Dave is also a college basketball coach and became head men's coach at San Jose State in 2013.
In high school, he played at Wheeling Central Catholic High School under the prolific Skip Prosser, who would go on to coach at Loyola (MD), Xavier and Wake Forest. Wojcik graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1987 and served in the Navy until 1992. While at Navy, Wojcik had a very successful playing career as a three-year starter at point guard for the Midshipmen alongside Hall of Famer David Robinson, amassing several team records for assists. Once Wojcik completed his military service he returned to Annapolis as an assistant coach. Wojcik continued his coaching career at Notre Dame, North Carolina and Michigan State until he was hired for his first head coaching job by Tulsa. He was considered one of the top assistants in the country, being named a "Head Coach in the Waiting" by Athlon Sports in 2001 and by ESPN's Jay Bilas in 2003. Wojcik was also recognized as "Assistant Coach on the Rise" by Andy Katz of ESPN.com.
