Antwain Scales joined head coach Terry Nooner's staff at Wichita State in April 2023 as an assistant coach.
The Wichita native returned to the ICT after three seasons as the head women’s basketball coach at Garden City Community College. He compiled a 42-44 record in his three-year stint in Garden City.
He spent seven illustrious seasons as the head girls coach at Wichita South High School. There, he turned a program that had won just two games in three seasons prior to his arrival, into a juggernaut. He compiled a record of 152-18 (.894) while leading the Titans to four straight 6A state championships, becoming the first program in history to accomplish that feat. During that stretch, Wichita South won 53 straight games before that streak ended in the 2017 state quarterfinals.
Scales left Wichita South following the 2017 campaign to take the reins at Colby Community College. In his first season, Colby finished 8-22. But in year two, the Trojans turned a major corner, winning 19 games while posting a winning record for the first time since 2006. They began the year 11-1, their best start since 2003-2004.
In 2015, Scales earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Fort Hays State.
