Dixie State head men’s basketball coach Jon Judkins picked up his 500th coaching victory Saturday night as the Trailblazers knocked off Pacific West Conference foe Hawai’i Hilo, 81-72.

With the win, Judkins moved to 500-234 (.681) over his coaching career, which includes a 216-106 (.671) record through his 11-plus years at DSU, and a 284-128 (.723) overall record at Snow College (1992-2005).

“[500 wins] is neat, but I could not do this without my players, all my former players and my players this year, it’s everybody – all my coaches, the coaching staffs I’ve had. I’ve lucked out having great players and great coaches,” Judkins said. “When I’m retired I’ll tell my kids and grandkids ‘This is what I did,’ but right now I’m just worried about winning games and that includes the next one [vs. BYU-Hawaii this Thursday].”
