Northwest Missouri State Head Coach Ben McCollum has developed the “BearCat Way” culture over the last 8 years. That culture has contributed in winning the 2017 NCAA DII Men’s Basketball Championship (35-1), three Sweet 16 finishes and five MIAA regular season titles. During that time, Coach McCollum has been named Clarence “Big House” Gaines National Coach of the Year and three time MIAA coach of the year.

You will learn how he evaluates if a prospective student-athlete will have the right character traits to succeed in their program. You will find out how Coach McCollum doesn’t allow negative energy to enter his program, how he gets his players to “Impose their Will” on a daily basis and much more…
