Guster enjoyed an excellent athletic career, starting at West Plains before transferring to Missouri-Rolla to be the starting point guard. In his two years at Missouri Rolla he enjoyed back to back winning seasons while leading the team in assists.

In his years before UTSA Guster served as an assistant at Missouri State-West Plains Community College. While at West Plains 10 of the players he recruited went on to play NCAA Division I basketball.
