CHICAGO- UIC assistant men's basketball coach and recruiting coordinator Tracy Dildy was honored as CollegeInsider.com's Top 25 Mid-Major Assistants, the website announced on Monday, July 6.

Dildy, entering his third season back on the bench at his alma mater, was recognized for his "impressive coaching career" by Jason Belzer.

Belzer noted that factors that went into the rankings included "overall program success while on staff, total years as an assistant, head coaching experience, recruiting, reputation amongst peers, and future potential. Almost all of those listed will one day be head of their own programs and those that are not will only be so by choice. Most importantly is the realization that this list was created not to classify the haves from the have-nots, but to honor those assistants who have done great work throughout their careers and bring something truly special to a staff."
