He would eventually become an assistant coach for the Harvard and has served them in various administrative capacities for more than 40 years.

MalinÍs broadcasting career began back in 1966, calling soccer games for Boston public television station WGBH on "College Sport of the Week." He would move on to become the radio voice of the NASLÍs Boston Minutemen, and in June 1978 he was hired by the New York Cosmos, where he called games until the team folded in 1985.

To this day, Malin still calls major European matches for ESPN International.
