Josh Prock

Josh Prock enters his eighth season as head coach of the Eastern New Mexico women's basketball program and has already elevated his program to new heights throughout his first seven seasons on the sidelines. 

The 2019-20 women’s basketball team turned in one of the best season’s in the program’s history, earning its third NCAA Tournament bid in the last four seasons and posting the second-best winning percentage in the ENMU record book with a 22-9 overall record. Under Prock’s leadership, the Hounds advanced to the LSC Championship Semifinals for the first time since the 1992-93 season.

Prock reached a pair of impressive coaching milestones in 2019-20, first by earning his 200th career NCAA victory with a 60-45 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville on Jan. 25 before earning his 100th victory with ENMU with a 70-52 playoff win over Oklahoma Christian on March 3. Prock became just the second coach to reach the 100-win threshold in program history.

Zamorye Cox, Alivia Lewis and Natalie DeLonge each received All-LSC Second Team honors for their efforts a season ago with Cox being named to the All-LSC Tournament Team and Lewis earning All-LSC Defensive Team recognition.

As a unit, the High Plains squad proved to be one of the best defensive teams in the conference and set program records for rebounding and scoring defense. The Greyhounds held opposing offenses to just 59.3 points per game while corralling 1,391 total rebounds, 901 defensive rebounds, 491 offensive rebounds and averaged 44.9 per game last season, which all rank as the best marks in the program’s 44 year history.

The Greyhounds finished the 2018-19 campaign with a 19-11 overall record and a 14-6 mark in Lone Star Conference play while posting an impressive 12-1 record inside Greyhound Arena, setting the best home record in the program's 45-year history.
 
Three players from last year’s squad took home All-LSC honors highlighted by D2CCA South Central Second Team honoree Treyanna Clay. The Tucson, Ariz. native averaged 16.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as she was named LSC Newcomer of the Year as well as being a First Team All-LSC and All LSC Defensive Team selection. Sophomore forward Alivia Lewis earned LSC All-Academic Team accolades as well as All-LSC Honorable Mention and senior forward Shelby Jones received All-LSC Honorable Mention.
 
The 2016-17 Lone Star Coach of the Year followed up the program's most successful season in decades with another quality campaign during the 2017-18 effort. The Hounds posted an overall record of 16-12, including a 12-8 mark in conference play that earned a fourth-seed for the LSC Postseason tournament. 

Kaylee Edgemon earned LSC Freshman of the Year honors at season's end while Mikaehla Connor and Daeshi McCants concluded their Hound careers with Second Team and Third Team selections respectively. The 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons mark the first time the program has had back-to-back winning seasons since the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons.  

Eastern posted a historic season in 2016-17 that saw the program earn a conference championship and the first trip to the NCAA Tournament in school history. ENMU recorded its first winning season since 2006-07 and first LSC winning record since 2003-04. The Greyhounds picked up their first win at West Texas A&M since 1981, the only team to win at Angelo State and snapped a 19-game losing streak to Tarleton State.

During the 2016-17 Season, Mikaehla Connor earned First Team All-LSC and All-Defensive Team accolades while Kassandra Harris and Daeshi McCants garnered Second and Third Team All-LSC honors.

In 2015-16, Sarah Stinnett garnered her second straight All-LSC selection, and was joined by Kassandra Harris. As usual, Prock's team was exceptional in the classroom, with Jordyn Cooper capturing CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, in addition to a selection to the LSC All-Academic Team.

In 2014-15, Sarah Stinnett and Tori Tucker earned Second Team All-LSC honors, while Tucker was chosen as the league's Offensive Player of the Week, twice. Eastern won five LSC games, which included a sweep of Angelo State, to qualify for the conference tournament.
 
In five seasons at Howard Payne University, Prock posted an impressive 108-31 record over his five seasons (2008-2012) at HPU, with a 9-5 mark in postseason play. In the 2010 and 2012 seasons, he was chosen as the American Southwest Conference West Division Coach of the Year. During that time, the Yellow Jacket's lineup featured two All-Americans, a pair of American Southwest Players of the Year and five all-region selections. His squad was just as successful in the classroom, with 13 Academic All-ASC honorees. Prock also served as the assistant athletic director for development, at Howard Payne.
 
Prior to three seasons at Billy Ryan High School (Denton, Texas), Prock was an assistant coach at Kentucky Wesleyan College (Owensboro, Ken.). During his two seasons with the Panthers, Prock handled recruiting, player development, scouting, practice planning and community relations.

Prock resides in Portales with his wife Angie and three children Nolan (10), Jenna (10), and Colton (6).
