Head coach Buzz Williams announced the addition of his former player Joe Fulce to his staff today.
Fulce was part of Williams’s teams at Marquette from 2008-11, averaging 3.1 ppg with the Golden Eagles. After major knee surgery ended his professional basketball aspirations, Fulce graduated from Marquette and accepted a job with Digital Intelligence Systems in Dallas, Texas, as well as running his company, JF21 Basketball Training/Conditioning.
As a graduate manager, Fulce will start classes in the fall to pursue a master’s degree in addition to his duties with the basketball program. Fulce will join Williams and his staff over the summer as preparation for the 2016-17 season begin.
The Hokies are coming off an exceptional season. The Hokies defeated two top-10 teams and won 20 games for first time in five years. Tech was 14-5 at home, including a 7-2 record in ACC play. The Hokies finished the regular season winning the final five games and followed that with a win over Florida State in the ACC Tournament. Tech made its first post season appearance since 2011, advancing to the second round of the NIT.
