Matt Collier has been named as an assistant basketball coach at NJIT. He replaces Tom Messinger who departed for a spot on the staff at Navy last month.

Collier had spent the past nine seasons as the head coach at D2 Queens (NY) before a change was made back in March. He had been working in the private sector until being hired at NJIT.

Prior to his time as a head coach, Collier was an assistant at Drexel (2010-16) and Howard (2005-10).
