West Virginia University men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries has named Trent Michaels, a two-time WVU graduate, as director of men’s basketball operations for the Mountaineers.
 
It will be Michaels’ second consecutive season in the role, and his third season on the Mountaineer men’s basketball staff. He served as the operations coordinator during the 2022-23 season.

“Trent is very organized and hard working,” DeVries said. “He will continue to do a variety of roles from scheduling to travel and helping with recruiting visits. Trent does a lot of work behind the scenes that will help in the success of our program.”
 
A native of Pittsburgh, Michaels was a student manager for the Mountaineer basketball team for four years, including his final two years as a head manager. Michaels served as the graduate assistant for WVU men’s basketball for one year following his time as a student manager.
