Greg Collins was officially introduced as the 11th Western Kentucky University women’s head basketball coach Wednesday. He’s been a collegiate assistant coach for 16 years, including the last six seasons at WKU.
He said he worked closely with previous WKU head coach, Michelle Clark-Heard, and doesn’t expect to change much about the program. Collins said he stayed at WKU because he never wanted to bounce around from place to place.
“Wasn’t willing to pursue a head coaching job and take a chance of being unhappy in life,” Collins said. “So we were happy here and weren’t going to change that and had a great working relationship with coach Herd and we were winning ball games. So sometimes when you’re winning it’s good to stay put.”
Clark-Heard left WKU to become the new head coach at Cincinnati. The Lady Hilltoppers finished last season with a record of 24-and-9, and won the Conference USA postseason tournament.
