Midwestern State alumnus Drew Coffman was hired as the 13th head coach in the history of Midwestern State women’s basketball in April of 2026. Coffman coached the Decatur girls’ basketball team to back-to-back Class 4A state championships in the two seasons prior to taking over the program at Midwestern State.
Coffman, who scored more than 17 points per game at Midwestern State in the 2006-07 season, coached boys and girls high school basketball for 20 seasons and posted a career record of 476-146 (.765).
Coffman coached the boys’ team at Decatur from 2012 – 2021, winning multiple district championships and reaching the state semifinals in 2019. He took over the girls’ program in 2022.
Coffman also coached boys’ basketball at Hico High School, Kermit High School and Eaton High School.
In his high school coaching career, Coffman’s teams won 10 district championships, advanced to 17 consecutive playoff appearances, and captured back-to-back state championships in 2025 and 2026.
Coffman took over a program that finished the 2025-26 season with a 9-17 record and went 6-14 in the Lone Star Conference. The Mustangs had not qualified for the LSC Postseason Tournament since 2022.
Coffman’s coaching philosophy centers on daily competitive standards, structured player development, and strong academic accountability.
The veteran coach relies on the experience he gained while at Midwestern State, where he was both a student athlete and a graduate assistant, gaining invaluable experience in NCAA recruiting, scouting, film breakdown, academic oversight, and program operations.
