After his stint as the men's basketball coach, Malek went on to have an extremely successful career as the men's golf coach for the Conquistadors, which he would do for 21 seasons. During his tenure as the head men's golf coach, the Conquistadors won six Jayhawk Conference championships and five NJCAA District III championships.

In addition to these coaching duties, Malek also served two different stints as the athletic director for DC3 and also served as the interim head women's basketball coach in 1991. To this day Malek is one of just two coaches in school history to win conference and regional championships in two different sports.
