THE COACHES
They used 17 different starting lineups where 11 of 12 saw action
in 20-plus games with all averaging 13 minutes or more per
contest in their first season leading the Panthers.
Niemans’ credits their balance philosophy for their remarkable
triumphs.
“Our balanced scoring is a product of how we play defensively.
When they are in there for three or four minutes, they’ve got to be
going all out. It’s hard to go that speed for more than that amount
of time. That gives us balanced minutes, and then that results in
balanced scoring.
Their appointed marked the first time in Panther athletic history
for co-head coaches in any sport.

The husband and wife team of Caleb and Nicole Nieman enters
their third season as co-head women’s coach at Kentucky
Wesleyan College after compiling the most successful back-toback record breaking seasons in Panther history.
The 2012 Panthers compiled their second straight 17-win season
with a 17-13 mark as they pulled off two one-point upsets including
over No. 16-ranked Wisconsin-Parkside in the Great Lakes Valley
Conference Tournament to reach the championship game for the
first time in KWC history.
During the season while using 22 different lineups, they also set
the single-game scoring record with a 115-113 overtime victory at
Bellarmine. All 12 players competed in 24-plus games while
averaging double-figures in minutes with eight seeing action in
all 30 contests.
The couple came to KWC as assistants to then head coach Ron
Williams in the summer of 2009 from Michigan where they
combined for six years serving as co-head coaches in high school
and two years of college coaching experience at a Division III
powerhouse.
Prior to moving to Owensboro, Nicole spent two seasons as an
assistant and head junior varsity coach at the legendary Calvin
College in Grand Rapids, Mich. She helped lead the Knights to
35 wins in two years including a 19-8 record in 2009 where they
set the NCAA Division III single game attendance record 4,395.
At the prep level the Nieman’s inherited a 2-19 team at Greenville
High School in Greenville, Mich., and proceeded to take the Yellow
Jackets to back-to-back Class A district playoff wins for the first
time since the 1998 season. For their accomplishments, they
were
named
the Area’s
Coach
of
the
Year.
Caleb, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, worked for
the Grand Rapids MVP Sportsplex supervising over 700 athletes
including collegiate and professional teams and athletes plus
the Michigan State University’s Athletic Strength and Conditioning
program.
He is currently featured on Sports Illustrated’s website
(www.si.com/training) introducing cutting edge, sport specific
training techniques to improve athlete’s performance.
Caleb graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2001 with a
bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s in
kinesiology from Michigan State University in 2009.
Nicole, a native of Marlette, Mich. graduated from Aquinas College
in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in learning disabilities and a
master’s in kinesiology from Michigan State University in 2009.
They have one daughter Lilly.
The Niemans’ guided KWC to a 17-10 record in 2011 and the
first-ever trip to the NCAA tournament in their 36-year history. The
17-wins tied for the third-most in history as they earned KWC’s
highest finish in the GLVC East Division with a second place tie.
