Update: Search for the new men’s basketball head coach

The application for the men’s basketball coach position closed on Mar. 17.

Athletic Director Corey Goff has assembled the Search Advisory Committee consisting of athletes, coaches, and other Muhlenberg personnel. The committee has to include, but is not limited to: one faculty member, two head coaches from other sports (at least one female), two current members of the men’s basketball team, one member of the sports medicine staff, the Associate Director of Athletics and Director of Athletics, who will be the Committee Chair.

“I am grateful for the significant commitment made by each member of this important advisory committee. Ultimately, they are in place to advocate for our student athletes throughout this process. Past, present and future student athletes will benefit significantly from the work to be done by this group of dedicated individuals,” stated Goff.

The athletics department has received over 260 applications and has begun the reviewing process since the application deadline has passed.

Over 100 applicants have passed the initial qualifications screenings, including professional, Division I, Division II, Division III and some with junior college and high school coaching and playing experience.

The athletics department has also received applications from 60 current head coaches.

“While our recruiting efforts will continue until the search is complete, we are very happy with the quality, depth and diversity of our applicant pool,” said Goff.
