Michael Hartman is in his third year as team manager for the Lady Tigers.

With a lifetime of experience wrapped into 13 years behind the high school and college basketball scenes, Hartman brings with him more than just water bottles and a towel. He is just as adept at keeping shot and/or game clock and keeps an impeccable scorebook when pressed into service for the storied Lady Tiger basketball program.

When not helping out during a game, Hartman likes to challenge Lady Tiger players to a game of one-on-one and teach them how to hit a half-court shot, or "five-ball" as he calls it.

The Barbourville, Ky., native, joined the program in 2007 after a long run at Knox Central High School.

Hartman is a two-time Lady Tigers Manager of the Year.

"No one keeps a shot clock better than the manager of the CU Lady Tigers," says Hartman with just a tinge of humility.
