Mike Young (born in Radford, Virginia) is an American college basketball coach and currently the head men's basketball coach at Wofford College. He was promoted to the position after spending 13 years as an assistant coach at the school.

Young played collegiately at Emory and Henry College in Virginia. After completing his career, which included serving as team captain during his junior and senior seasons, Young began his coaching career as an assistant coach at his alma mater. In 1988, he left Emory and Henry to serve one year as an assistant to Oliver Purnell at Radford University.

In 1989, Young began his tenure as an assistant coach at Wofford. He would go on to spend the next 13 years at the school, helping to guide the Terriers in their transition from Division II to Division I independent status, and finally to a spot in the Southern Conference, where the Terriers compete today.

In December 2001, Wofford announced that then-head coach Richard Johnson would be promoted to athletic director, leaving Young to take control of the team starting for the 200203 season. His first six years were fairly uneventful, with high points of a .500 conference record in his first season, and overall records of .500 during the 200405 and 200708 seasons.

However, 200809 saw new school records in the Division I era, marking the Terriers' first winning season as a Division I school and the first winning SoCon record in school history. In 200910, Young continued to build on this success, leading the Terriers to both the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships, which earned Wofford its first bid to the NCAA tournament. In recognition of his achievements, Young was named the 2010 Southern Conference Coach of the Year [1], as well as the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year [2].
