Coach Mitch Cole named South Region Coach of the Year

Birmingham-Southern College head men’s basketball coach Mitch Cole is the South Region Coach of the Year, according to D3hoops. The announcement was made last Friday in Minneapolis.


Cole led the Panthers to a 23-4 overall record in 2010-11 and a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship. BSC was 14-2 in conference play in its last season as a provisional member of NCAA Division III. The Panthers will be eligible for conference and NCAA postseason play in 2011-12.

Cole's squad ended the season by winning the NCAA Division III Provisional Tournament Championship in Steubenville, Ohio.


Since taking over as head coach in 2006, Cole has rebuilt the Panther program after the transition from NCAA Division I to III. His teams are 67-35 during that time, including a SCAC East Division title in 2009-10.

The Birmingham Southern Panthers won the SCAC Conference Championship for the 2010-2011 season by defeating Centre College in a hard fought battle between the two top seeded teams in the conference on Sunday.  The win wrapped up the SCAC campaign for the Panthers with a 14-2 conference record, and it moved the Panthers to a 21-3 overeall record to this point in the season. The win also extended Southern's home game winning streak to 30 games.
The championship game was a tremendous accomplishment for Coach Cole and a fitting last home game for the four Panther Seniors: Mark Messenger, Patrick Price, Isiah Doaty, and Phil Rogers.
