Corey Mullins, former women's assistant coach at Bryan College and head men's coach at both Boyce College (Louisville, KY) and Kentucky Christian University (Grayson, KY), has been hired to lead Covenant's basketball team beginning in the 2010-2011 season. As the team's third head coach in as many years, Mullins will look to improve on last year's 10-15 record and first round bow-out of the NCCAA region tournament.

Mullins graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2003 with a degree in business education. Straight out of college, he began working as Matt Bollant's assistant with the Bryan women's team. There, he saw the Lady Lions make the NAIA national tournament 4 straight years (2003-2007) and earn a trip to the sweet 16 in 2006. Bryan also won the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) tournament in 2005 and the AAC regular season in 2006 and 2007.

At the end of the 2006-07 season, as a result of their success at Bryan, Bollant was offered a Division I head coaching job at the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay, and Mullins earned the head men's position at Boyce College in Louisville. In only the second season in the program's history, Corey led the team to a 6-21 season before leaving to join Kentucky Christian's staff for the 2008-2009 season.

During his two seasons at Kentucky Christian, Mullins helmed the Knights to a 36-29 overall record and an NCCAA Mid-East region tournament championship in 2009. The team was also ranked in the NCCAA top 10 throughout both seasons.

Corey is currently working on a Master of Sports Science/ Management through the US Sports Academy. He and Carrie, his wife of 3 years, have two sons: Grady (2) and Tate (6 months).

Said the new head coach: "I want to thank President Nielson, the Board of Trustees, and Tami Smialek for the opportunity to be a part of the Women's Basketball program here at Covenant College. My wife and I are so excited to bring our family down to Lookout Mountain and the Chattanooga area. I have always had a tremendous respect for the people that I have had contact with over my seven years as a college coach, and I firmly believe that Covenant has the resources in place to continue to build a program that brings honor to Christ, the Covenant community, and the young ladies who represent the Lady Scots basketball family."
