Jory Collins (born October 14, 1978) is an American college women's basketball coach at Emporia State University. Collins has led the Emporia State Lady Hornets to five consecutive winning seasons. Collins has held the head coach position since April 2010.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Coaching career

In April 2010, Jory Collins was named the head women's basketball coach of Emporia State[1][7] following the resignation of then-head coach, Brandon Schneider, who had announced that he had accepted the position at Stephen F. Austin.[7] Previously, Collins served as the assistant for Emporia State. Before becoming a full–time assistant for the team, he held several positions with the team including a Student Assistant and Volunteer Coach. In the 2004–05 season, he was a Graduate Assistant and in 2006, he was promoted to a full–time assistant.[1]

Emporia State (2010–present)

In his four seasons at helm of the Lady Hornets program, Collins has gone on to win three consecutive MIAA tournaments (2013, 2014 and 2015) and has combined a record of 125–36 overall and a 80–27 record in the MIAA. He is the first coach in Emporia State history to advance to five conference tournament championships and four regional championships in five years.[8]

2010–11

In his first season, he led the Lady Hornets to a 20–9 overall, and 15–7 conference winning season.[9] He led them to the MIAA Tournament title game, which they lost to the Northwest Missouri Bearcats.[8]

2011–12

The following season, he led the Lady Hornets to a 23–9 overall, and 14–6 conference winning season.[9] With that, the Lady Hornets advanced to their second consecutive MIAA Tournament title game, in which they lost. They also advanced on to the NCAA Sweet 16 where they lost to the Pittsburg State Gorillas.[10]

2012–13

In 2012–13, the Lady Hornets were preseason ranked 19 in the WBCA poll.[11] During the 2012–13 season, the Lady Hornets went on to an overall record of 23–9, and 13–5 conference winning season.[9] The Lady Hornets went on to their third consecutive MIAA tournament title game, in which they won against the University of Central Missouri Jennies 67–51.[12] This was their fifth tournament win, and first since the tournament moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 2003. They again made it to the NCAA Sweet 16, where they lost to the Augustana Vikings 75–74.[13]

2013–14

In 2013–14, the Lady Hornets were preseason ranked 9 in the Women's Division II Bulletin Preseason Top 10 Rankings poll.[14] During the 2013–14 season, the Lady Hornets went on to an overall record of 30–4, and 16–3 conference winning season.[9] For the fourth consecutive season, Collins coached the Lady Hornets to their fourth MIAA tournament title game, in which they won against the Central Missouri Jennies.[15] The Lady Hornets went to the NCAA Regionals, in which they lost to the Concordia–St. Paul Golden Bears 70–67.[16] At the end of the season in March 2014, he was selected as the NCAA Division II Region 7 Russell Athletic/WBCA Coach of the Year.[17]
