Tom Collen height - How tall is Tom Collen?

Collen was dismissed from his position at the University of Arkansas on March 7, 2014, following a 19–11 season.

In 2007, Collen returned to Arkansas, this time as women's basketball head coach. Under his leadership the team began the 2007 season with a school record 15 consecutive wins.

On March 11, 2003, the University of Louisville hired Collen as women's basketball head coach; this was the second time athletic director Tom Jurich hired Collen to that position after doing the same at Colorado State in 1997. During Collen's four seasons, Louisville had an 87–37 record and made the NCAA tournament three times.

After the 2001–2002 season, Collen accepted a position at Vanderbilt University but resigned the next day over a discrepancy discovered on his resume. He had listed two master's degrees from Miami University, but Miami had reported only one degree in two subjects. Miami later acknowledged its mistake. By then both Vanderbilt and Colorado State had new head coaches. Collen took a year off from coaching, working as a television commentator and a consultant for the WNBA.

Collen left the University of Arkansas in 1997 to take the head coaching job at Colorado State University. Colorado State went to the NCAA Tournament four times in five seasons under his leadership. In 1999, his team played in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, and Collen was named coach of the year. His winning percentage of 79.6% (129 wins and 33 losses) ranked fourth among Division I women's basketball coaches at the time.

In 1993, he moved to the University of Arkansas, where he was assistant coach and recruiting coordinator until 1997. He was named assistant head coach for his last two seasons. The year after he left, the Arkansas team went to the Final Four of the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship. Arkansas' women's athletic director Bev Lewis said "his reputation as a recruiter is among the best in the country."

Collen began his coaching career at Miami University in 1981, where he worked for three seasons. He was assistant coach at the University of Utah from 1984 to 1986, and at the Purdue University from 1986 to 1993.
