Ingle led Cherokee High School of Canton, Ga., to the state championship game in 1982, finishing runner-up.
Ingle entered the world of Division I college basketball in 1989, when he joined Roger Reid's staff at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
During that time, BYU saw tremendous success on the basketball court: the Cougars won five WAC championships and made five appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
In the off-season, BYU hired Steve Cleveland as the new head coach for the basketball team, leaving Ingle without a job.
He found part-time work as a scout for the Utah Jazz of the NBA, and also did some sports color commentary for the Mountain West Conference.
In 2002–03, the Owls set a school record by winning 25 games, and they made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II national tournament.
Early in the 2010–11 season, the team achieved its biggest win ever as a Division I program, posting an 80–63 upset victory over Georgia Tech.
In addition to losing many games, the team had struggled to meet NCAA academic standards, which ultimately led to Ingle's dismissal.
