N.C. State men’s basketball assistant coach A.W. Hamilton will take over as head coach at Eastern Kentucky University, the schools announced Friday.
It will be a homecoming for the Georgetown, Ky. native and former hoops star at Scott County High School.
"The fit is perfect for my family and me, and we look forward to building on everything EKU has to offer, both on and off the basketball court,” Hamilton said in a statement.
Wolfpack head coach Kevin Keatts hired Hamilton away from Hargrave Military Academy, where Hamilton played for Keatts before joining his coaching staff as an assistant in 2006.
