The High Point University men’s basketball team has added Neill Berry as assistant coach, head coach Scott Cherry announced on Monday. Berry most recently was assistant coach at the University of South Carolina and previously worked at Western Kentucky from 2005-08.

Berry worked under head coach Darrin Horn for the past seven years – the first three at Western Kentucky before Horn moved on to South Carolina for the past four years. For two of those seasons – the 2007-08 season at Western Kentucky and the 2008-09 season at South Carolina – Cherry was the top assistant coach under Horn.

Berry rose through the ranks at South Carolina, starting off as Director of Player Development in 2008-09 before moving up to assistant coach the following season.
