SUWANEE, Ga. - Millsaps women's basketball coach Chuck Winkelman has been voted SCAC Co-Coach of the Year for 2011.

Head Coach Chuck Winkelman took over a Millsaps program that had won just one game a year ago (against 24 losses) and, in his first year in Jackson, finished with a 12-13 overall mark (8-8 in the SCAC) – an 11-game turnaround.

No stranger to winning in the SCAC, Winkelman posted an overall record of 168-66 (.718 winning percentage) in nine seasons at Hendrix College. He won or shared three conference titles and was the SCAC Coach-of-the-Year in 1995-96. Winkelman became the sixth-fastest coach in Division III to reach 100 career victories while at Hendrix.

Coach Winkelman shares the honor with DePauw's Kris Huffman whom each received five votes to share Coach-of-the-Year honors. Trinity University head coach Amie Bradley and Centre head coach Wendie Austin-Robinson received one vote each.

In her 18th season as the head coach of DePauw, Huffman has compiled a 22-3 overall record (15-1 in the SCAC) heading into this weekend's conference tournament. She picked up her 400th career victory on Feb. 13, in an 87-41 victory over visiting Sewanee. That victory gave DePauw its 10th straight 20-win season and 14th in the last 15 years. The seven-time SCAC Coach-of-the-Year and two-time WBCA National Coach-of-the-Year, Huffman's Tigers won their last 63 SCAC home games and she will exit the conference with the highest winning percentage (.802 entering the tournament) of any coach – active or non-active – who has been in the league five or more years.

Huffman and Winkelman each received five votes to share Coach-of-the-Year honors. Trinity University head coach Amie Bradley and Centre head coach Wendie Austin-Robinson received one vote each.
