Steve Gregory is entering his twelfth season as the head coach of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University Lady Cougars.  Gregory has led the team to a 159-173 record over the past 11 years that has included two National Christian College Athletic Association national titles (2001 and 2009) and two NCCAA National Coach of the Year honors to go along with the two championship banners.

Gregory guided the Lady Cougars to the best season in school history during the 2008-2009 campaign as MVNU posted a 27-9 overall record that included the program's third NCCAA national championship.  The team also advanced to the championship game of the American Mideast Conference Tournament for the first time ever where the Lady Cougars fell on a last-second shot to the top seed on the road.

Prior to becoming the head coach of the Lady Cougars, Gregory spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at MVNU - three years with the Lady Cougars and four years as the top assistant with the men's team. During that time, Gregory played a significant role in the success of both teams. In his final year with the women's team during the 1993-1994 season, the Lady Cougars posted a school-best 23-10 mark and won the NCCAA national title.

During his four seasons with the men's program, the Cougars compiled an 82-46 overall record (.641 winning percentage) for the best four-year mark in school history. In the 1997-1998 season, the team posted a school-best 27-7 record, won its first-ever conference title, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NAIA Division II national tournament.

As a player, Gregory was a four-year standout on the court for the Cougars from 1987-1991. He still holds several school records and ranks third in school history with 2,242 career points. He helped his team to the first two 20-win seasons in school history.

Besides his coaching duties, Gregory serves as the Assistant to the Athletic Director and the Assistant Sports Information Director. He resides in Mount Vernon with his wife, Melissa (an MVNU grad), and their children, Taylor and Tyler.
