Willie Freeman joins the Men’s Basketball Staff

Head Basketball Coach Larry Hunter announced the addition of Willie Freeman to his staff.

"I am pleased and excited to have Willie re-join our program as a full time assistant coach," Head Coach Larry Hunter said. "We have seen firsthand Willie’s work ethic and passion for coaching and recruiting. He has the experience of being our Director of Basketball Operations for over a year, as well as working full time with our women’s program. In addition, he has been a head coach at both the high school and professional IBL levels. Our players will soon learn that he will care about their development both on and off the court as well as bring great enthusiasm in trying to help them improve to be the best they can become. He has a working knowledge of our recruiting and scouting software which will help make his transition back to our program a smooth one."

"It’s a blessing to be back at my alma mater and having the opportunity to work and learn from coach Hunter and his staff," Freeman said. "I was thankful for the opportunity to coach on the Western Carolina women’s staff last season but my ultimate goals and dreams were to be a coach on the men’s side."
