Wilkes head coach Mike Guy and his staff were named Coaching Staff of the Year after leading the Colonels to a 28-12 overall record and a 19-5 mark in Landmark play. The Colonels showed significant improvement from the previous season, when they finished 22-16 overall and 11-13 in the conference. In just his second year at the helm, Guy guided Wilkes to the No. 1 seed in the Landmark Conference tournament—the program’s first top seed since 1994. This marks Wilkes's first time in school history receiving Coaching Staff of the Year honors.
