Oklahoma State’s 3-point king is climbing up the coaching ranks.
Phil Forte was hired as an assistant coach at Sam Houston State, the program announced Wednesday. Forte is coming off back-to-back seasons as a graduate student manager under former OSU coach Travis Ford at Saint Louis.
“I’m ecstatic to become a part of Coach (Jason) Hooten’s staff,” Forte said in a release. “Sam Houston State has proven to consistently be successful year after year. I’m excited about the opportunity to help contribute to the continued success of the Bearkat program.”
With Saint Louis last season, Forte and the Billikens made the NCAA Tournament after winning the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
