The Week 10 winners are:
NCAA DI: Roy Williams – North Carolina. 
Saturday’s win against Virginia Tech gave Williams his 350th victory at UNC and a unique place in college basketball history. He became the first NCAA coach to win at least 350 games at two Division I schools – he won 418 games at Kansas before joining North Carolina in 2003. The Tar Heels also defeated Wake Forest this past week, and have run their winning streak to 11 games. UNC is also off to its best ACC start since 2000-01 – they are a perfect 7-0 in conference play (18-2 overall). Currently ranked #2 in the nation, Williams squad will look to return to the #1 spot when the polls are released later today.
NCAA DII: Luke Reigel – University of Wisconsin-Parkside. 
Reigel beat out a very strong DII field this week to earn Coach of the Week honors. The 24th-ranked Rangers went 3-0 (all conference wins) to up their record to 15-2 (8-1 GLVC). After opening the week with an 82-70 win over Lewis University, things got interesting for the Rangers. On Thursday, they upset #6 Bellarmine University after hitting a buzzer beater to send the game into the extra period. Their magic continued on Saturday as they converted a traditional three-point play with 2.7 seconds remaining to beat visiting Southern Indiana 70-67. The Rangers are now riding an 11-game winning streak, and Saturday’s victory extended their GLVC home winning streak to 29 games.
NCAA DIII: Joe Reilly – Wesleyan University (CT). 
Reilly becomes the second straight coach from the ultra-competitive NESCAC to claim HoopDirt.com Coach of the Week honors after leading Wesleyan to a monster week. The Cardinals began the week with a drubbing of #9 Amherst 71-44 in a game where they held the Lord Jeffs to 20.6% shooting. They followed that win up by knocking off another nationally ranked opponent as they topped #19 Tufts in overtime 78-77. Reilly’s crew capped off the 3-0 week by beating Bates 82-67 to improve their record to 15-4 (3-3 NESCAC).
NAIA: Anthony Owens – University of Great Falls (MT). 
A great 2-0 week for Owens and his Argos as they pulled out two last second one-point victories. Friday night they hit a buzzer beater on a crazy play off of an inbounds set underneath their own basket to upset #25 Montana Western 70-69. They followed that win up on Saturday with another nail biter – they scored on an alley-oop with :10 seconds left to beat Rocky Mountain College 75-74. The back-to-back wins snapped a three game losing streak for the Argos, and improved their record up to 10-7.
JUCO: Philip Stitt – Marion Military Institute (AL). 
Two quality home wins for Stitt and the Tigers this week. On Tuesday, they knocked off NJCAA DI #21 Wallace State-Hanceville 53-52 in a game in which they trailed by nine at the half. MMI then beat Gadsden State CC 78-71 on Thursday to remain unbeaten (4-0) in conference play. The Tigers are now 15-3 overall and have had an amazing turnaround from last year where they won only 8 games, and went 0-11 in conference play.
