Lubbers enters his third season with the Fire in 2021. During his first season in Lakeland, Lubbers made quite an impact guiding the Fire to their first Sun Conference regular season championship, and a conference tournament title. In guiding the Fire to a 14-4 mark in league play, Lubbers was named The Sun Conference Coach of the Year. 

During the 2020-21 season, the Fire battled through adversity to earn a spot in The Sun Conference Tournament. Senior center Devon Ford was named The Sun Conference Champion of Character.

Southeastern returned to the national tournament during the 2021-22 season, hosting the Opening Round for the first time in program history. The Fire were Sun Conference regular season co-champions and Lubbers picked up his second Sun Conference Coach of the Year honors. Riley Minix became the first Sun Conference Player of the Year in program history and was an NAIA First Team All-American. 
 
Lubbers spent one season as an assistant coach at NCAA Division II University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, where he helped the Mountain Lions go 17-12 overall and 14-8 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Prior to UCCS, Lubbers was the head coach at Colorado Christian University where his team won two NCCAA National Championships and he was named the 2017 NCCAA National Coach of the Year.
 
Additionally, Lubbers served as the men's basketball chair for the RMAC, and was the NABC Congress representative from the league. His teams were recipients of the NABC's Team Honors Court four times.
 
Lubbers is no stranger to the NAIA, having played and coached at Trinity Christian College, leading the Trolls to a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season co-championship during the 2010-11 season, and was the league's co-coach of the year. He was also an assistant at Trinity Christian for five seasons, winning the conference tournament twice.   
 
No matter where he has coached, Lubbers has made service to their campus and community an integral part of the program. At Colorado Christian, his teams volunteered at the Denver Street School, Extreme Makeover Community Edition, Camp Barnabas, and Team IMPACT. His teams have also worked with Ronald McDonald House, Restoration Ministries, and a variety of other local charities.
 
Lubbers has volunteered with the Hoops for Hunger basketball camp designed to feed the hungry of Chicago, and has led basketball teams in the Dominican Republic with SCORE International.
