Coaching career
Early Years
The University of Montana's Wayne Tinkle is one of the winningest coaches in school history, boasting an overall record of 141-78.
Coach Tinkle is the first mentor at Montana to take his team to the NCAA Tournament three times. His 141 career victories are the fourth most ever at Montana. He is 85-31 in Big Sky Conference games, which are the most league wins by any coach at UM. Last season he led the Grizzlies to their second straight trip to the NCAA tournament, as UM played 19th ranked Syracuse in a second round contest in San Jose, Calif. Montana's NCAA tournament berth last season was its third trip to the Big Dance in the last four seasons, and its 10th in school history.
With its NCAA berth a year ago, Montana has now advanced to post-season play a school-record four straight seasons. Montana went 19-1 last season en route to winning the conference's regular-season title, and those 19 victories are a Big Sky record. He was tabbed the Big Sky's "Coach of the Year" in the 2012-13 and 2011-12 seasons. He is the first coach in Montana history to be named the Big Sky's coach of the year twice. Last season he was a finalist for the Hugh Durham Award, presented annually to the mid-major coach of the year.
In 2011-12 "Tinks" guided the Griz to the NCAAs, as the 13th-seeded Grizzlies played the fourth-seeded and 14th-ranked (Associated Press) Wisconsin Badgers in a second round NCAA Tournament game in Albuquerque, N.M. The Grizzlies were 25-7 last year, and tied a school record with their fourth 20-win seasons (UM has gone 25-7, 25-7, 21-11, and 22-10 during that span) in a row. The Grizzlies were ranked 14th in the final Mid-Major Top 25 Poll following the 2012-13 season. Montana's 25 wins last season tied Tinkle's 20-11-12 team for the second most ever in school history. (UM's 1991-92 and 1949-50 squads are tied for the most victories ever at UM).
When the Grizzlies defeated Weber State on March 16, 2013, it was their 93rd win over the last four seasons - a school record.He was recognized for the Grizzlies' success in 2012, as he was named the NABC Division I All-District 6 "Coach of the Year" by NABC. In 2010-11, Tinkle guided Montana to a 21-11 record and a berth in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) Tournament. In 2009-10, the Griz went 22-10, won the league's post-season tourney, and advanced to the NCAAs, narrowly losing (62-57) to New Mexico.
Coach Tinkle has now been to the NCAA tournament a total of six times - three as the head man and three times as an assistant coach at Montana. As an assistant coach he was with the Grizzlies on three NCAA tourney teams: 2001-02 against Oregon (head coach Don Holst); and also in 2004-05 vs. Washington and the 2005-06 season against Nevada and Boston College with mentor Larry Krystkowiak.
