Springmann played college basketball at Salisbury State where he was a two-time team captain.[2]
After graduation, Springmann assisted his alma mater for two seasons before becoming the head boys' basketball coach at Mardela High School from 1992 to 1996. He'd join the college ranks in an administrative role under Billy Donovan at Florida before joining Rick Barnes's staff at Texas in an administrative capacity from 1998 to 2001, before being elevated to assistant coach, a role he'd serve in until 2015.[2] From 2015 to 2017, Springmann was an assistant at San Diego, and served one year as a scout for the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder.[3][4]
In 2018, he'd join Paul Mills's staff at Oral Roberts and was on staff for the Golden Eagles' 2021 Sweet 16 run. When Mills accepted the head coaching position at Wichita State, Springmann was elevated to head coach on March 22, 2023.[5][6]
