Greg Tonagel is the men’s basketball coach at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. Since arriving as the head coach in 2005, Tonagel has led the Wildcats to three NAIA national championships, and in October 2023 he became the youngest coach in college basketball history (NCAA or NAIA) to win 500 career games.
