WKU to Introduce Stansbury as New Men's Basketball Coach

WKU ATHLETICS

WKU will introduce Kentucky native Rick Stansbury as the school's new men's head basketball coach today.

 

A news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. central.

Stansbury played his high school basketball at Meade County, and comes to WKU after two seasons as an assistant coach at Texas A&M. He previously was head coach at Mississippi St. for 14 seasons.

Stansbury takes over the WKU job following the resignation of Ray Harper almost two weeks ago.

Stansbury has 293 career wins and 11 postseason trips as a head coach.

 
 
The introductory news conference Monday is being held at the Jack and Jackie Harbaugh Club at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium. The event is open to the public, and free parking is available in Parking Structure 2 (PS2) next to the stadium.
