Ohio Wesleyan men's coach Jay Martin

Award at the NSCAA's Awards Banquet held on Friday in conjunction with
the NSCAA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind.
In his 30 years as coach of the Battling Bishops, Martin has led his
teams to seven NCAA semifinals, a pair of runner-up finishes and the
1998 national championship. He reached the 500-win milestone faster
than any other men's coach.

Department of Physical Education for 17 years and as athletic director
for 19 years. He also coached lacrosse for eight years, posting a
104-34 record with six NCAA tournament bids. He was the NSCAA president
