Head Men’s Basketball coach Louis Wilson announced additions to the coaching staff as he enters his first season at the helm of UT Tyler’s men’s basketball program, adding Anthony Owens and Aaron Patrick as assistant coaches while announcing Kelly Hernandez as the player development coach and Sam Eureste as the director of basketball operations.
Owens has over a decade of collegiate coaching experience, including five seasons as an assistant at the NCAA Division I level with Portland State, plus four years as a head coach at University of Providence in Great Falls, Montana.
Patrick joins UT Tyler after spending the past two years at Northwestern State, a Division I program in the Southland Conference. He also coached three years at Howard College in Big Spring.
“In order to build the program forward, we’ve not only had to sign players and get depth and talent on the floor, we’ve also had to accumulate talent off the floor,” Wilson said. “To that end, we’re very fortunate we were able to hire highly-qualified assistant coaches. We’re very blessed to have Anthony Owens and Aaron Patrick as coaches with Division I experience, and Kelly Hernandez comes to us as to be in charge of player development in all aspects of our players’ lives off the court, and Sam will serve in a vital capacity as our director of basketball operations.”
