Scott Flemming is entering his eighteenth season at the helm of the Cougar basketball program. During his seventeen seasons at MVNU, Flemming has compiled an overall record of 351-209 (.627 winning percentage), the most wins of any coach in the program's 39-year history.

Over the past 11 seasons, MVNU has compiled an impressive 251-108 mark (.699). The Cougars have won one National Christian College Athletic Association national title (2002), finished as the NCCAA national runner-up (2004), and finished third at another NCCAA National Tournament.  The team has also made six appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament  (1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2006, and 2007).  In addition, MVNU has won three American Mideast Conference Tournament titles and earned the program's first two regular-season conference titles (1998 and 2007).

College where he posted a 43-47 mark in three years, Flemming returned to MVNU in 1990. In addition to coaching, he is also the school's athletic director.
