Mark Campbell is now in his ninth season
as the head coach of the Lady Bulldogs. Campbell is coming off his third
straight trip to the NAIA Fab Four, including two NAIA National Titles in
2005 and 2006. Campbell also led his 2006-07 team to the TranSouth
regular season and tournament championships. This marked the ninth
time Â鶹ÊÓƵ has captured the TranSouth regular season title and the eight
TranSouth Tournament title in the 11-year history of the league.
Campbell has 256 wins to just 42 losses
(.859). He is currently in second place on the all-time Â鶹ÊÓƵ coaching wins
list (current list: Blackstock-509, Campbell-256, Birmingham-198).
Campbell's .859 winning percentage ranks No. 1 among active NAIA women's
basketball coaches with five or more years of coaching.
In his career as Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s head coach,
Campbell’s teams have won, two NAIA National Title (2005, 2006), six
conference regular season titles, and five conference tournament titles. In
the 2002-03 season, he led Â鶹ÊÓƵ to their best regular season in school
history with 30 wins before the post season tournaments. He has reached the
35-win plateau twice in his career, which ties the school record for wins in
a season.
Campbell continues to the winning tradition of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ
program which has accumulated the most wins of any women's basketball
program (all levels NCAA and NAIA) over the last 15 years (Â鶹ÊÓƵ 482,
Tennessee 477, UCONN 477, Duke 396). Only UCONN's 327 wins over the
past five years is better than Â鶹ÊÓƵ 322 wins during that span.
Campbell spent five seasons as a player for the Lipscomb Bison basketball
team and graduated from Lipscomb University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts
degree and from Â鶹ÊÓƵ University in 1996 with a Master of Education.
After red-shirting his freshman season at
Lipscomb, Campbell went on to excel in the basketball arena. Campbell
currently ranks 12th in all-time scoring at Lipscomb with 1,509 prints. The
724 assists he accumulated during his career places him in the top five at
David Lipscomb for career assists. Campbell helped guide the Bisons to five
national tournament appearances, a 129-19 four-year record, and a national
record of 41 wins in a season.
After college, Campbell joined Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s
men’s basketball coaching staff as the graduate assistant in 1994 and then
became the full time assistant coach in 1996. He worked under the guidance
of fellow Lipscomb graduate and current Â鶹ÊÓƵ men’s head coach Ralph Turner
for five seasons until being named the new women’s basketball coach in 1999.
Over the past seven seasons as Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s
head coach, Campbell has been named as the TranSouth Coach of the Year three times
(2001, 2002, 2007), NAIA Coach of the Year twice (2005, 2006), and NAIA WBCA Coach of
the Year once (2004). Campbell serves nationally on the NAIA All-American Committee and is
the president for the NAIA. He is also is the national rater for the
TranSouth Conference.
During his time as a head coach for the
Â鶹ÊÓƵ University Lady Bulldogs, he has proven to be much more that a great
basketball coach. "I believe my responsiblity to each of my players is to
have a vision for who they can be in every area of life, and communicate it
to them in a way that challanges them to pursue it."
Mark Campbell is married to the former
Molly Graves of Jackson. They are the proud parents of their son Gray, born
on July 10, 2002 and daughter Ella, born on April 9, 2004.
