Kansas State head coach Jeff Mittie was named the recipient of the 2017 Kansas Basketball Coaches Association (KBCA) Women’s Basketball Four-Year College Coach of the Year Award after leading the Wildcats to one of their winningest seasons in 10 years.
K-State finshed the 201617 season with 23 wins, the most since the 2008-09 season. The Wildcats made their 15th NCAA tournament appearance in program history and advanced to the second round.
This was the 15th 20-win season for Mittie in his 25 seasons as a head coach. He has tallied 24 winning seasons in 25 years. This year’s 23 victories were the most for a Mittie coached team since he guided TCU to 23 wins during the 200708 season.
