400 wins<br />
Every win is swEEt<br />
for a head coach and his team. But<br />
some are a little sweeter than others.<br />
On Dec. 14, 2011, the Huskies defeated<br />
Campbell 87-76 in Sharp Gym to give<br />
head coach Ron Cottrell his 400th<br />
career victory since arriving at HBU in<br />
1990 to resurrect the men’s basketball<br />
program. The milestone further solidifies<br />
Cottrell’s place as the winningest<br />
basketball coach in HBU history.<br />
“I am very humbled by this recognition.<br />
In these 400 victories, I have<br />
never scored a point, never grabbed a<br />
rebound, never dished out an assist.<br />
This success is due to the efforts of<br />
our players, as well as my assistant<br />
coaches,” Cottrell said. “Also, I owe a<br />
huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Hodo and<br />
Dr. Sloan for giving me the opportunity<br />
to do what I love at a university I<br />
love. I share this accomplishment with<br />
all of them, as well as our supportive<br />
faculty, staff, alumni and fans. I am<br />
truly blessed to have coached so many<br />
special young men through the years,<br />
and I continue to be excited for the<br />
future of Husky basketball.”<br />
Cottrell was presented with the<br />
game ball from his 400th victory prior<br />
to the Huskies’ game against Crowley’s<br />
Ridge on Jan. 12, <strong>2012</strong>, where his<br />
team proceeded to set another record,<br />
winning by the largest margin of<br />
victory in HBU history.<br />
