Lincoln Memorial men’s basketball has announced the hiring of Ezra Pinzur as the newest assistant coach for the Railsplitters program. Pinzur comes to Harrogate to join the LMU staff after building a strong coaching résumé with stops at various collegiate levels and locations across the Southeast.

Prior to joining the Railsplitters, Pinzur spent the previous season in Cookeville, Tennessee, as an assistant coach for Tennessee Tech University. He originally began his collegiate coaching career at Tennessee Tech, serving as a graduate assistant from 2019 to 2021. A native of Hartsville, Tennessee, Pinzur played two seasons of collegiate basketball at Bethel University. He holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Arts degree in Exercise Science from Tennessee Tech University.

Before his second stint at Tennessee Tech, Pinzur spent the 2024-25 season at Central Arkansas, where he helped guide the Bears to their first ASUN Tournament appearance and victory in four years. Pinzur served as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, where the Chargers enjoyed an incredibly successful stretch. During his three years at UAH, the Chargers posted three consecutive 20-win seasons, advanced to three NCAA Division II Tournaments, and made a run to the Sweet 16 in 2023 en route to a top-20 final national ranking. UAH also claimed the Gulf South Conference Tournament championship in 2022 and the regular season title in 2023, followed by runner-up finishes in both standings in 2024.
