Most successful coach at LU. Is he the last of what you’d call “The Old Guard”?

Announcing this on a Saturday evening is peak Tolsma.

Best coach we will ever have.

There will be way more people flying in to honor him than an ASun tourney game.

I guess that depends on whether you include Carey Green in that group. He was hired in 1999, which makes him the only coach we have who arrived in the previous millenium (barely). I think Jeff Thomas (golf) has the next longest tenure at 16 years.

I would say the 2 most likely successors would be Lance Bingham, who was Tolsma's top assistant for 18 years before taking the HC job at Abilene Christian in 2016, and current Associate HC Clendon Henderson, a Liberty T&F alum who I believe still holds the school record for the discus.

So true Jon...and on top of yet another dominating conference championship double to boot

Sources tell me new Coach will be announced tomorrow.

Lance Bingham will return to LU as head coach.

Don't be surprised if Abilene Christian looks to hire Clendon Henderson as Bingham's replacement.

I am thinking same thing
