TAMIU Coach Selected for Top Honors
With the team's and players’ success, one individual's performance could not go
unnoticed: head coach Daryl Vincent earned the top award, Coach of the Year.
He has led the TAMIU Women’s Basketball to a 32-45 (22-20 Heartland
Conference), and this year, the team played its first season as an active NCAA
Division II member. Under Vincent’s leadership, six players earned All-Heartland
Conference honors and six have earned Academic All-Conference honors.
Vincent was named the 2009 Heartland Conference Coach of the Year.
Vincent coached for 11 years as an assistant, before heading up the Dustdevils in
2006. He was the assistant coach at Texas A&M Kingsville for five years. While
there, he served as assistant for the women’s team for two seasons and assistant for the men’s program for
three years. The women’s team improved their records while Vincent coached, and the men advanced to
the NCAA South-Central Region for the first time in eight years during his second season as coach.
Four players Vincent recruited during his tenure at TAMU-Kingsville have gone on to play professional
basketball. His recruits also included three All-Americans, two Lone Star Conference (LSC) Players of the
Year, LSC Newcomer of the Year, LSC Freshman of the Year and many other all-conference honorees.
