College career

Koch, a 6'8" forward from Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, played college basketball for coach Ben Jacobson at Northern Iowa from 2006 to 2010. He played a reserve role as a freshman, then started for his last three years. As a junior in the 2008–09 season, Koch averaged 12.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while leading the Panthers to a shared Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season title and a 2009 MVC tournament championship. Koch was named first team all-MVC.

As a senior in 2009–10 season, Koch again led the Panthers to MVC regular season and tournament championships. Koch averaged 11.7 points and 4.9 rebounds and was named MVC Player of the Year. The Panthers entered the 2010 NCAA Tournament as a #9 seed and in the second round defeated the #1 seed Kansas Jayhawks 69-67 to advance to the program's first Sweet 16. At the conclusion of the season, Koch was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press and was a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.

For his career, Koch scored 1,186 points.

Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2010 NBA draft, he joined the Indiana Pacers for the 2010 NBA Summer League. He later signed with ČEZ Nymburk of the Czech Republic.

He played the remainder of the 2010–11 season, averaging 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds.

In November 2011, he was re-acquired by the Bakersfield Jam. On December 9, 2011 he was signed by the Los Angeles Clippers and was waived after 10 days. In November 2012, he was again re-acquired by the Jam.
