Larry Cox begins his tenth season as the only men’s basketball coach in the history of the Lions’ program. He started the program in 1998 and his team finished with a winning record in its inaugural season. Over the past nine seasons he has built the Mount program into a solid, competitive team and is looking to take the next step this year for the top spot in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Last season, the Lions led the conference for most of the year before suffering one-point losses late in the season, but still finished with their second straight winning season. Coach Cox is also entering his fifth year as the Mount’s assistant athletic director.

Coach Cox’s first head coaching position came in the 1990 season at Thomas More College as he inherited a program that had not had a winning season in a decade and during his coaching tenure he turned the program around - finishing with four straight winning seasons. He compiled an overall record of 96-95 and was named AMC Coach of the Year in both the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons, while also leading his school to the AMC regular season and tournament championships.

Prior to his tenure at Thomas More, Cox was the associate head coach from 1983-1989 at St. Joseph’s College (Indiana), an NCAA Division II program, where he helped lead the program to an average of 16 wins a season in the tough Great Lakes Valley Conference, which includes perennial powerhouses Kentucky Wesleyan, Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky.

Coach Cox also spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 1981-82 and 1982-83. During the first season the Falcons were conference runners-up and in the second season they won the Mid-American Conference outright finishing with a 21-9 record. For two seasons, from 1979-1981, he was an assistant at Hanover College (Indiana), where the school averaged 24 wins a season, won two Hoosier-Buckeye Conference Championships and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NAIA National Tournament.

Coach Cox holds a Bachelor of Arts in History degree from Hanover College (Indiana) and a Master of Arts in History degree and a Master of Education in Physical Education degree from Bowling Green State University (Ohio). He has taught classes at Bowling Green State University, St. Joseph’s College, Thomas More College, and the Mount. During his tenure as a head coach, every player who has completed their four years of eligibility has their degree.

Coach Cox and his wife, Beth, reside in West Chester, Ohio and had triplet sons, Luke, Jake and Ryan born on October 26, 2007.
