The Celebration Grounds – The Blue Ribbon Club

Wednesday, June 25th

This fun and casual event is your opportunity to connect with Coach Rick Insell, MTSU Athletics staff, and other special guests who are shaping the future of Blue Raider sports. These individuals play a pivotal role in advancing MTSU Athletics and represent the heart of the Blue Raider spirit. This is a rare chance to interact with the people who make MTSU’s athletic excellence possible—offering insights, stories, and genuine connection in a relaxed and engaging setting.

Rick Insell is no stranger to Shelbyville—he proudly called Shelbyville Central High School home from 1977 to 2005. During his nearly three decades as head coach of the SCHS women’s basketball program, he led the team to over 750 victories and shattered records. He built a dynasty that placed Shelbyville on the national basketball map. His legacy continues to inspire athletes and coaches across the state.

In 2005, Coach Insell transitioned to lead the MTSU Women’s Basketball Program, bringing with him his unmatched coaching philosophy and elevating MTSU's presence in the women’s collegiate sports arena.

We want to ensure that all members of the community are personally invited to attend and celebrate this connection. Please help us spread the word!
