Selvig named Coach of Year

Lady Griz head coach Robin Selvig was named Big Sky Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year for the 12th time since the Big Sky started sponsoring women’s sports in 1988.
He has now received Coach of the Year honors 17 times, including five times when Montana was in the Mountain West Conference.

The Lady Griz garnered a 25-6 overall record this season in Selvig’s 30th year at the helm. Montana captured the Big Sky crown and punched a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Selvig has coached the Lady Griz to 21 national tournament appearances, 16 NCAA Tournaments and 21 regular-season conference titles. He has a 697-198 record to go with a .779 win percentage at UM, ranking among the top 10 winningest active Division I women’s basketball coaches. 

Before coaching at UM, Selvig played for the Grizzly men’s basketball team from 1970-74.

During his career, Selvig has coached one All-American, 11 conference MVPs and 77 all-conference honorees.

This year, Britney Lohman won Defensive Player of the Year and Mandy Morales was a unanimous first-team pick.
