After graduating, Haubrich served in the United States Air Force. He then returned to UNH as a graduate assistant. In 1957, he became a junior physical education teacher and boys' basketball coach at Concord High School.[1] He led the team to a state championship in 1962.[2] In 1963, he became a member of the athletic staff at UNH.[1] From 1966 to 1969, he was New Hampshire's men's basketball coach.
