The Mountaineers hired Mazey following the conclusion of the 2012 season and have made the NCAA Tournament twice in his nine full seasons—the 2020 campaign was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They ended a 21 year tournament drought with their 2017 appearance. 

Mazey cut his teeth as the head coach at Charleston Southern and later East Carolina, making the tournament in four of six seasons between those programs. 

He later served as an assistant at TCU, and the Mountaineers hired him from that role ahead of their move to the Big 12 in 2012.

Mazey played a huge role in bringing the program back to relevance, all while helping them navigate the switch to a powerhouse conference. 

He made the Mountaineers known for his particular style of play that emphasizes savvy base running, affectionately known as ‘Mazeyball.’
