Darrin Travillian enters the 2011-2012 looking to build on his program's success in 2010-2011. Travillian guided his inaugural squad to a 21-5 overall record in his first season directing the program.


This 2010-2011 Great South Athletic Conference Coach of the Year developed four all-conference performers while directing six academic all-conference honorees on a squad that won the league regular season title, ranking as high as fifth by the NCAA in the South Region.


As a Scots assistant from 2008-2010 Coach Travillian worked primarily with the defense and post players , including the past two GSAC Players of the Year Natalie Munday and Alison Harmon. He also focused on scouting, film exchange, and game preparation, contributing to a pair of NCAA tournament teams.

Coach Travillian is a 1996 alumnus of the University of Kentucky with a degree in Secondary English Education. He also holds a master of arts in School Leadership and Administration from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. At UK he served as a student-assistant with the women's basketball team, where he helped with individual workouts, film breakdown, and practice and game preparation.

Travillian began his coaching career at the Sayre School, where he served as a varsity assistant for three seasons before becoming the girls' varsity head coach for two seasons. He helped lead the Spartans to the 42nd District title in 1997. Coach Travillian then served as an assistant for Kentucky High School Hall-of-Fame coach Kirk Chiles at Henry Clay High School.

Following a move "back home" to the Chicagoland area, Travillian took the reigns of the girls' varsity basketball program at Downers Grove North High School. In his first season, he lead the team to a fourteen-game turnaround and their first-ever appearance in both the Chicago Sun-Times and Daily Herald's Top 20 rankings. His Trojans were among the top defensive teams in the area, holding opponents to under 36 points per game while forcing close to 20 turnovers per game.
