Bluefield State Athletics Director Derrick Price today announced the appointment of Devin Hoehn as men’s head basketball coach. Hoehn comes to Bluefield State from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where he was Director of Player Development.

In making the appointment, Price said, “We are extremely fortunate to bring Devin to Bluefield State. He comes from one of the most successful Division II basketball programs in the country.”

Hoehn has been player development director for four years under nationally-recognized coach Jim Crutchfield. He is a 2016 graduate of West Liberty University where he was a four-year starter under Crutchfield.

Hoehn said, “I am tremendously excited for this opportunity. Bluefield State basketball has a proud tradition that I look forward to building on. I have learned the game as a player and coach from one of the very best. Now I want to bring those lessons here.”

Price concluded, “Our fans are going to be pleased and excited with the type of up-tempo, full-court basketball that Devin will instill in next season’s Big Blue team. I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

Hoehn takes over a squad that finished 3-6 in a COVID-shortened season.
