HOUSTON, Texas – Indiana Tech men's head basketball coach, Ted Albert, is the recipient of the 2023 Don Meyer National Coach of the Year, presented annually to the top head coach in NAIA college basketball.
 
Albert led the Warriors in a historic season for the program as they made an appearance in the NAIA National Championship Game. Tech did it in Warrior fashion as they mounted a comeback in the semifinal game to overcome a 16-point deficit to solidify their spot in the final where they came up two points shy of another historic comeback as they trailed by 23 points losing the final 73-71.
 
The team also broke multiple team season records as they posted a record of 32-5 (.865) which amounts to the most single season wins in program history as well as the best winning percentage which was previously 27-7 (.794). The Warriors won their third regular season conference title of the last four seasons, which earned Albert his third WHAC Coach of the Year honors.
