EMORY, Va. – Wofford head men's basketball coach Mike Young was enshrined in both the Emory & Henry College Sports and Radford High School Halls of Fame over the weekend. Young, a 1986 graduate of Emory & Henry College, was one of six members of the school's 2015 induction class who were formally inducted in a ceremony held at the school's John Rutledge King Center, Saturday.
 
"I was honored to be inducted into the Radford High and Emory & Henry Halls of Fame," said Young, who enters his 27th year on Wofford's bench this season. "Those are two places I am very fond of and feel indebted to for the many wonderful things that transpired while I was a part of each. To see a lot of friends and be back on those campuses with my family was rewarding."
 
Young grew up in Radford, Virginia and attended Emory & Henry, playing four years of basketball for legendary coach Bob Johnson. After his graduation, Young became an assistant coach on Johnson's staff and two years later served as an assistant at Radford under Oliver Purnell. In 1989, Young joined the staff at Wofford College as an assistant to Richard Johnson.
 
After 13 years as an assistant, Young took over the head coaching reins in 2002, and has since led the Terriers to Southern Conference Tournament Championships in 2010, '11, '14, and '15. They are one of only four programs nationally to win their conference title four of the past six years, and only one of 43 teams nationally to reach the NCAA Tournament at least 4 of the last 6 seasons. This past season, the team went 28-7 overall, went 16-2 in the Southern Conference, won the SoCon Championship, and even got a win against NC State.
 
Young holds 217 career wins as Wofford's head coach, making him one of only three coaches in Wofford history to garner more than 200 wins, and he ranks eighth in Southern Conference history. He is a three-time SoCon Coach of the Year, and has received national recognition as the Hugh Durham Mid-Major Coach of the Year.
 
Many of his players have gone on to play professionally, but he is equally proud of the fact that he has a 100-percent graduate rate for his student-athletes who have completed their eligibility at Wofford.
