created daily “Success Academies”, teaching

more connected, more passionate, more intelligent,

on their knowledge and skill sets.

pro basketball assistant. At 18, Burt won his first
of many championships, leading Woodbury Grammar
School to a 31-5 record and won the Class A state

as the freshman head coach at Riverdale High, one
of the largest schools in Tennessee. Finishing 17-0
in his first season, Burt advanced quickly, becoming
the offensive coordinator by the age of 20. Burt

age of 22 and continued his coaching prowess.

and motivating people and stimulating companies

Rick Insell

When Rick Insell left a $35,000- a-year management
job in 1977 to take an $8,000-a-year position
at a high school as assistant coach of a boys
team and head coach of a girls team there was
a strategy. When he then interviewed for a coaching
job at Shelbyville Central, a school in the state's
largest athletic classification with two championships,
he had less than two years' experience coaching
boys grades six through eight. He had a strategy.
Insell’s empire at Shelbyville High Sced
the Golden Eaglettes to a record 10 TSSAA Class
AAA state championships and two USA Today National
Championships (1989, 1991). |
|

During his 28 year
tenure there, a record of 775-148 was tallied
making him the John Wooden of high school basketball
in the state of Tennessee. Insell won an unprecedented
ten state championships with five runners-up.
USA Today named Insell National High School Coach
of the Year in 1989 and 1991 and was named Converse
National High School Coach of the Year on two
occasions (1990, 1992).
While at Shelbyville, Insell produced 15 All-Americans,
57 scholarship players, two national number one
rankings, and created a following in the state
like no other program.
Revered in Tennessee girl’s basketball,
Insell's holds the Tennessee state records for
consecutive wins with 110, consecutive state titles
with four (1989-1992), most state championships
for a coach with 10 (1986, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992,
1995, 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2004), and his 1990
Shelbyville squad was named the Tennessee Sports
Hall of Fame Team of the Year, the first high
school team honored as such. What a strategy!
Insell’s insatiable big dreams, peerless
strategy, and unwavering determination full -pressed
his coaching success into a coaching position
at Middle Tennessee State University. Insell’s
success captured MTSU athletic director Chris
Massaro’s attention and in 2006 Insell jumped
from high school coach to front a NCAA Division
I team as the women’s head coach at his
alma mater.
His first recruiting class brought in a Top-10
recruiting class for the 2006-07 season, and lead
Middle Tennessee to an unprecedented third consecutive
trip to the NCAA Tournament. During Insell’s
first two seasons at MTSU, attendance at the Murphy
Center swelled nearly 300 percent, awakening a
fierce following in the women’s basketball
community. During the 2006-07 season, he produced
the longest winning streak in the country (27
games). In back-to-back seasons, he produced upset
victories over Georgia (’07) and LSU (’08)
both of which were ranked eighth in the country
at the time.
In 2008, Amber Holt, was selected ninth overall
in the WNBA draft. Insell plays the toughest schedule
in school history while gaining a Raider Nation
of support across the region.
The 2008- 2009 Lady Raiders season is off to a
powerful start with a record of 22-4 Overall wins
14-0 Conference wins.
Joining a select few in the girl’s basketball
coaching fraternity, Rick set out to become one
of the winningest coaches the game has ever seen
and has created winning cultures for over three
decades. His strategy works.
Insell still lives in Woodbury (Tenn.) where he
began his coaching career as a junior pro coach
and elementary coach. He is married to Debbie
and the couple have three sons, Tom, Kyle and
Matt. |
