During the 2005-2006 season Trakh was the head coach of the Lebanese Blue Stars . He led the team to a 2nd place finish in both the Lebanese League and Lebanese Cup.

Trakh spent a portion the 2004 season in Changwon, Korea where he was named assistant coach of the LG Sakers in the Korean Basketball League. The Sakers made it to the final four of the KBL.

On January 7, 2004 Trakh made his CBA coaching debut with the Yakima Sun Kings (he replaced Billy Bayno). He is 9th on the regular season victory list for Sun Kings coaches with four wins.

In 2000, Trach was the head coach of the Cabrillo College Hawks and lead them to a 3-25 record. In fairness, he had little time to recruit or prepare for the season because the school was so late in hiring.

Trakh was the head coach of the EA Sports traveling team. Their victory over the University of Louisville Cardinals effectively ended Hall of Fame coach Denny Crum's career.

Former EA player Paul Shirley wrote about Trakh in his latest book "Can I Keep My Jersey?": “Maz has decided that the EA Sports Exhibition Tour is a way for him to bolster his coaching resume. I gather that he thinks if he pulls off a big upset win over Kentucky, someone will notice and give him the reins to some glorious team somewhere…he thought he was going to be recognized as exhibition coach of the year if he kept it respectable against the Wildcats.”

Trakh also had assistant coaching gigs with Cal-Irvine and Long Beach State.

Trakh's playing days were at Southern Utah University
