Former Presbyterian College basketball coach Dustin Kerns is the new head coach of App State men’s basketball, announced on Thursday afternoon by App State Athletics.
A press release from athletic director Doug Gillin confirmed Kerns’ acceptance of the position. His appointment was confirmed by the University Board of Trustees on Friday.
“This is a great day for the Appalachian family and our basketball program,” Gillin wrote in the press release. “Dustin is a highly regarded young coach who has worked with strong basketball programs and has done an impressive job as the head coach at Presbyterian.”
Kerns was at Presbyterian for two seasons and in that time he helped the program to its first winning season in 13 years, winning 20 games and earning a slot in the CollegeInsider.
