Larry Gipson, head coach at NSU.

A masterful motivator and consummate competitor, Gipson has led Northeastern to an NCAA Division II national championship, four NCAA Tournament appearances and five Lone Star Conference North Division titles in 12 seasons.

His 211 wins is third best behind legendary coaches Jack Dobbins (314 wins) and Ken Hayes (224 wins), but his winning percentage (.615) is by far the best in school history. He also reached his 100th & 200th NSU coaching victory more quickly than any previous RiverHawks mentor. His NSU record is 211-132 as he enters his 13th season in 2008-09.

Gipson is only one of two head coaches to lead teams, the other Nolan Richardson, to a national championship on different college basketball levels. Gipson and Richardson won NJCAA naitonal championships and NCAA titles.

Gipson began his college coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Tulsa under Richardson.

Gipson was named the 2003 Division II Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), earned the Molten/Division II Bulletin Coach of the Year award and was a coach at the USA Basketball Trials in the summer of 2003. He also received the top coaching honors in the South Central Region and Lone Star Conference North Division. The LSC award was his fifth straight. Gipson has coached more the 30 players who have played professionally.

The NCAA title was the first for Northeastern State in any sport and the first championship won the RiverHawks in 67 years of basketball. Gipson was inducted into the NSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 for his outstanding coaching feat in 2003.

Northeastern State isn't the only institution which has reaped the benefits of Gipson's coaching prowess. He led the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (Miami, Okla.) to the NJCAA national championship in 1989 and logged a 217-87 record during his tenure. After a five-year stint at the University of Toledo, Gipson left the coaching profession for one year before heading to Tahlequah. Gipson's overall coaching record stands at 496-292 (.629).

He says basketball is his "passion" and Gipson is quick to list the legendary Henry Iba as his mentor. The Ohio native earned his bachelor's degree from Heidelberg College in 1974 and a master's degree from the University of Tulsa in 1984. In addition to coaching basketball at NSU, Gipson is an instructor in the College of Education, is a member of the Board of Directors for the NABC and was recently selected as the third Vice President for the NABC.

Gipson is married to Jennifer Craver. Gipson's younger brother, Randy, is the women's head basketball coach at Northeastern State, the only brother duo in America to coach the same sports of different genders.
 
Alan Foster, head coach at Bacone College:

Alan Foster is back at helm of the Bacone basketball program for his 11th season after guiding the Warriors to their first NAIA Division I National Tournament appearance in the 2009-10 season.

During last season's campaign Foster watched his squad win 12 of their last 13 games, vaulting them to claim the Red River Athletic Conference tournament title and an automatic berth into the national tournament.

During his tenure at Bacone, he collected the RRAC Coach of the Year honors during the 2003-04 season. He also oversaw the program during the transition from junior college competition to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

Foster came to Bacone from Kemper Military Junior College in Boonville, Mo., where he was head coach from 1994-2000. Prior to his head coaching stint at Kemper, he served as the assistant there from 1992-1994.

During the 1990-1992 seasons, Foster served as an assistant for Missouri Hall of Fame coach Bill Barton at State Fair Community College. From 1989-1990, Foster was the head boys basketball coach at Niangua High School in Niangua, Miss., where he rebuilt a struggling Cardinal program.

Foster started his coaching career as a student assistant at Missouri Southern College in Joplin. He served on that coaching staff from 1986-1988 and was a part of the Lions National Tournament team.
 
wonder if we could get Bob Hurley. He's a high school coach, how much could he cost?
 
Win Case

http://www.goblueraiders.com/staff.cfm/name/win-case/id/271

Win Case brings a wealth of experience to the Blue Raider bench as he begins his first season as an assistant coach on the Middle Tennessee men's basketball staff.

Case has been highly successful at each of his collegiate stops and has a proven track record as an assistant and head coach, having been part of national championships teams in each capacity. He compiled a 364-138 record in 16 seasons as a head coach and won two national championships as head coach at Oklahoma City University.

At Middle Tennessee, Case's responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, recruiting, scouting, and day-to-day preparation of the Blue Raider basketball team.

The highly successful coach was most recently was head men's basketball coach at Redlands College. Case was at Redlands one season and his team posted a 21-11 mark in 2007-08. Prior to that he spent two seasons at Eastern Oklahoma State College, where he served as head men's basketball coach and athletics director.

Case was head coach at Oklahoma City University for 15 years, posting a 343-127 record and winning the NAIA National Championship in 1994 and 1996. Prior to Oklahoma City, Case served as an assistant there and was part of two national championships (1991, 1992). The 1992 squad was 38-0. "Win Case is a proven winner, and he is a great addition to the Blue Raider staff," Middle Tennessee head coach Kermit Davis said. "He has won two national championships as a head coach and that speaks for itself. He is a tremendous recruiter, really understands the game, and has the best interest of the student-athlete at heart."

Case played two seasons at Seminole Junior College and led the team to a runner-up finish in the NJCAA national championship game. Following two years of junior college, Case played two years at Oklahoma State, where he averaged 10.7 points as a senior. Case and current Kansas head coach Bill Self were teammates at Oklahoma State and his son, Jeremy, was a member of Kansas' national championship team in 2008 and is currently on the Jayhawks staff as a graduate assistant.

Case said a phone call from Self stimulated his interest in the vacant position on Davis' staff.

"When I was trying to decide if I was going to pursue this position I got a call from Bill Self and he just raved about Coach Davis," Case said. "(Self) told me Coach Davis was one of the best and he told me I needed to look hard at the position. At that time the position had not been offered but what Coach Self said certainly appealed in terms of having an opportunity to work with a coach who has that type of reputation. Coach Davis has a reputation around the country that is second to none."

Case began his coaching career as an assistant at Oklahoma Baptist in 1987. He spent two seasons as an assistant at Eastern Oklahoma before joining the staff at Oklahoma City University. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in 1986.

Case has two children - Jeremy (24) and Tiffany (25). He is married to the former Ronda Crowe.
 
Doug Boxell, University of the Ozarks:

Doug Boxell begins his second season as head coach at Ozarks. Boxell, the winner of five High School state championships in Texas, was named the new head coach in 2009. Boxell made an immediate impact on the program in year one, bringing in a talented recruiting class to begin his foundation. That talent translated into the Eagles opening conference play 4-0, including a win over the eventual ASC champion. Boxell's team defeated one NCAA III qualifying tournament team and took another down to the wire during his inaugural campaign. Following the 2009-2010 season, Boxell had the ASC East Division Player of the Year, two All-Conference players and another on the All-Freshman Team. Three of his players were on the ASC All-Academic Team.

Prior to Ozarks, Boxell coached 13 years as the head boy’s basketball coach at Ponder High School where he won three state championships, including back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009. 12 of his 13 teams won district titles. Boxell has also served as the school’s athletic director the past five years.

His extensive Texas coaching experience spans nearly 25 years, including two other stops that resulted in state championships. Prior to Ponder High School, Boxell spent two seasons at Sudan High School, and led the Hornets to a state title in 1995. His first head coaching stint was at Santo High School, where he spent five years and won the state title in 1990. He also had stops at Lampasas High School, Neches High School and Alpine High School. He owns an impressive 670-175 (.792) career record.

“Ozarks is a great university where student-athletes can receive a solid education and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. This university will not only prepare you for your profession, but also for the game of life."

Boxell will emphasize fundamentals, sound defense and team play.

"Our focus will be on developing a team that is like a family. We want players that understand how to make their teammates better players. Prepare to win. Players must first learn how to set goals, stay focused, work hard and be diligent in order to be successful."

During his career, 23 of his teams have made the playoffs, with 17 of those winning district championships. He guided 16 of his teams to the regional tournament and seven made state tournament appearances. He was the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) Coach of the Year twice and District Coach of the Year 14 times. He was named the Denton Record Chronicle and Fort Worth Star-Telegram Coach of the Year three times. In 1990, he was the head coach of the TABC All-Star game.

Boxell received his bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from University of North Texas in 1980. He has a master’s degree in Physical Education from Sam Houston State University.

Boxell and his wife, Jeananne, are the parents of four sons.
