Wofford College Athletics

Coach Young had a record-setting 17-year tenure as the head coach at Wofford, which followed 13 seasons as an assistant coach. He is the winningest coach in Wofford men’s basketball history with 299 victories (299-244 overall). The Terriers posted a 30-5 overall record in 2018-19, including a perfect 18-0 mark in Southern Conference play, and registered a convincing 84-68 win over Seton Hall in the first round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Under his guidance, the Terriers registered an impressive list of non-conference wins, including ones over the likes of Auburn, Cincinnati, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, NC State, Purdue, Seton Hall, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Xavier and Wake Forest. Arguably the most compelling non-conference victory of his tenure at Wofford came on Dec. 20, 2017, when the Terriers faced then-No. 5 North Carolina at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and registered a 79-75 victory over head coach Roy Williams and the Tar Heels. Named the 2019 Sporting News Coach of the Year, Young built the Terriers into one of the Southern Conference’s preeminent programs and a perennial NCAA Tournament participant. He guided Wofford to five NCAA Tournament berths (2010, 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2019) over 10 seasons and five Southern Conference championships. In addition to the on-court success of his teams, 100 percent of Young's student-athletes at Wofford who completed their eligibility graduated. Over his career, Young developed three AP All-America selections, four SoCon Players of the Year and 34 all-conference selections. Young was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year four times. A native of Radford, Virginia, he is now the head coach at Virginia Tech.
