Greg Lansing (born December 9, 1967) is an American college basketball coach and the current men's basketball coach at Indiana State University. He was named to the position on June 15, 2010. He also spent eight seasons as an assistant coach, including the last three as associate head coach with the program.
Lansing burst onto the national scene as a rookie head coach with the Sycamore basketball program in 2010-11 as he became just the second-ever Indiana State head coach to lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in his first season. (The first was Bill Hodges and the 1979 NCAA Finalist team.) Lansing led the team to a 20-14 record, becoming just the 14th head coach in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to lead a team to 20 or more wins in their first year. He was a finalist for the Skip Prosser Award on the season.
Lansing led to the team to an 18-15 record and a berth in the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Tournament, this was the Sycamores 3rd consecutive trip to the postseason. The season was also highlighed by a 3rd-place finish in the Old Spice Classic and a road victory over the #25 Vanderbilt Commodores. The Vanderbilt win was the first over a ranked opponent since 2006 and the first road win over a ranked opponent since 1999.
Lansing won his 45th game in the 3rd place game of the Diamond Head Classic (vs. the Univ of Miami); this win edged Lansing past John Wooden for 12th place on the All-time Wins list at Indiana State University. On Jan 29th, 2013, Lansing's team upset #14 Wichita State at Wichita, this win was the 1,400th in Indiana State history and snapped Wichita State's 19-game home winning streak.
The Sycamores opened the Lansing's 4th year as Head Coach with a signature win over Ball State University, the win capped off the dedication of the Larry Bird Statue at Hulman Center and increased Lansing's record against the Cardinals to 3-1. On Nov 17th, 2013, Lansing's team defeated #21 Notre Dame in South Bend, this win by the Sycamores was the third in the last five tries against a nationally ranked opponent and its second in a row over a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. It also marked the third consecutive season in which Indiana State defeated a nationally ranked team on the road. The victory also ended Notre Dame's 48-game, 14-year home court winning streak in the month of November. On March 9, 2014; the Sycamores dropped a hard-fought MVC Tournament game to Wichita State University 69-83. The Sycamores finished the season at 23-11 (12-6 MVC) after dropping their opening round NIT game to the University of Arkansas.
