Primarily a collection of news links about all 11 Horizon League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
I don't limit the shine to the high-major ranks. Here are six coaches at the
mid-major level who made their mark in their first seasons after being hired
in the spring of 2022. (Two of them have already moved to new gigs.)
Daniyal Robinson, Cleveland State: Robinson was a
sleeper candidate for CSU's job a year ago — coming by way of Iowa
State — then he kept the Vikings competitive and near the top of the
Horizon League much of the season. Robinson coached the 21-15 Vikings
to the 15th best offensive-rebound rate in the sport and was one
bucket away from winning an automatic bid to the NCAAs.
Bart Lundy, Milwaukee: The second coach on the list
who was not in Division I prior to getting his gig in 2022. Lundy came
by way of Queens College (coincidentally enough, it's transitioning to
D-I) and deftly turned around a stationary program. The Panthers went
22-12 and tied for second in the Horizon League. There will be a lot
of change in that conference next season. Lundy leading Milwaukee to a
league title would come as no surprise.
