Tucker earned the IWLCA regional coach of the year honors in 2011 and 2013 after competing for the National Championship. He is currently in the Division II top-two for most wins in a career and is among the top ten in wins and win percentage for all three NCAA Divisions. His 2011 team was inducted into the Limestone Athletics Hall of Fame.
