Coaching Milestone

WVIK, Quad Cities NPR | By Herb Trix

Published January 21, 2015 at 3:29 PM CST

With help from his players, the men's basketball coach at Augustana College could reach a milestone tonight.

If the Vikings beat Illinois Wesleyan, it will be the 300th victory for Grey Giovanine.
Now in his 16th season at Augustana, he's won 299 games and lost 117, so far.
And since he was hired in 1999. Giovanine has led his teams to 5 conference titles, and he's been named CCIW coach of the year 4 times.
