Responsible for organizing and supervising the school's daily physical education program, Griffin has developed curriculum plans and educated students in the fundamentals of body movement necessary through athletic competition.Â
On the court, Griffin lettered two seasons at UNLV and spent the 1991-92 season playing under head coach Jerry Tarkanian.
