TCU’s Mark Campbell named Big 12 Coach of the Year
TCU women’s basketball head coach Mark Campbell was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year on Tuesday after leading the Horned Frogs to the program’s first Big 12 title.
Campbell led TCU to a 28-3 record in just his second season as head coach. Campbell guided TCU to become just the second Big 12 team in conference history to win a regular season title within two seasons of finishing in last place after the Horned Frogs defeated Baylor 51-48 in Waco Sunday to clinch the title.
Campbell led the Horned Frogs to a 6-2 mark against top 25 teams this season including wins over Notre Dame and North Carolina State while rising to the highest AP Top 25 ranking in program history (8).
TCU will enter the Big 12 tournament as the No. 1 seed and have also cemented a top-16 seed nationally which means the Horned Frogs will host first and second round games at Schollmaier Arena.
Campbell was hired in March 2023 to take over a program that finished that went 1-17 in the conference. TCU went 21-12 in Campbell’s first season despite injuries to key players like Sedona Prince and Jaden Owens.
Now Campbell and the Horned Frogs are sitting at the top of the league in one of the fastest turnarounds in the country.
TCU’s first game of the Big 12 tournament will be at 1:30 p.m. Friday against to a be determined opponent.
