George Fox University

Mike Meek continued the tradition of women’s basketball excellence at George Fox after taking the helm in 2010. In his nine years at the head of the program, Meek notched a 230-35 record, a .868 winning percentage – the best of any women’s basketball coach at Fox – with two NCAA title game appearances, eight NCAA tournament appearances, six Northwest Conference titles, and seven Top 25 national rankings in the season’s final poll. Meek was the D3hoops.com Coach of the Year in 2012, a three-time NWC Coach of the Year, and developed four All-Americans during his tenure at Fox before departing for an NCAA Division I job at the University of Portland after the 2018-19 season.

Since taking over the Pilots’ program as the sixth coach in their history, Meek has guided UP to a West Coast Conference Tournament Championship in 2019-20 in his debut season. He has also been able to coach his daughter, and continues to build the Pilots into a program that can be reliably counted on to finish among the WCC elite in each season.
