In addition, 18 of the Monarchs' 26 conference championships have come under Conley's tenure.

During the summer of 1998, Conley represented his country as the USA coach for the USA/Japan Matches in Tochigi-Ken, Japan.

The 1986 Murray State graduate earned his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education with honors. While at MSU, Conley earned Academic All-American status and notched two collegiate tournament victories. He later earned a master's degree in education with a concentration in physical education from Campbell in 1991.
