Mike Horn, the GLIAC Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2007, completed his eighth season as Wayne State University's golf coach in 2008-09, leading the team to its first collective appearance at the NCAA Championship in program history.

Horn has led the team to the NCAA Super Regional each of the last two seasons and five of the last six. He was also named GCAA Division II Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year in 2007. The 2007-08 season saw four golfers earn All-GLIAC recognition and two garner PING/GCAA All-Region honors. In addition, Super Regional medalist Joe Juszczyk became the first WSU golfer to qualify for nationals since Horn in 1986.
