Croshaw, who was one of the most successful coaches in junior college football, and to this day stands as the third all-time winningest coach in NJCAA history, served as head football coach at Dixie State College for 24 seasons.
 
He compiled a 214-56-1 overall career record with 12 seasons of 10 or more wins, highlighted by five 11-1 campaigns. 
 
Coach Croshaw led the Rebels to 17 Western States Football League (WSFL) championships, 20 bowl game appearances, and a 15-5 postseason record, and owns the distinction of never recording a losing season.
 
In addition, Croshaw was an eight-time WSFL Coach of the Year honoree, and earned Utah Collegiate Coach of the Year honors five times (1986, 1987, 1989, 1995, 1996). 

During his storied career on the Dixie sidelines, Croshaw mentored 62 NJCAA All-Americans and 17 all-academic honorees, while his student-athletes were consistently ranked amongst national leaders in several statistical categories.

Under his tenure, Dixie State boasted the national rushing leader nine times, the national passing leader twice, and garnered four national Player of the Year accolades.  In 1996, Rodrick Johnson set an NJCAA record with 233.8 rushing yards per game across 10 contests. 

Croshaw was actively involved at the national level, serving as NJCAA Football Coaches Association vice president in 1987 before serving as president from 1988-1992. 

Coach Croshaw was inducted into the Utah Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011, and the NJCAA Hall of Fame in 2022. 
 
This past June, Croshaw was one of 200 coaches presented with the inaugural NJCAA Coaches Legacy Awards. He was one of six head football coaches nationally, and the only Utah junior college head coach, who was on the NJCAA's inaugural year awards list.
