Illinois State head men’s basketball coach Dan Muller announced the hiring of Will Veasley as the program’s video coordinator Tuesday afternoon.

"I am very excited to add Will to our staff," Muller said. "Will was a tremendous Illinois high school basketball player, is the all-time winningest player in Butler history and started in their first national championship game. Will has a degree in Digital Media Production, and we are very lucky that he has decided to join us as video coordinator."

Veasley played collegiately at Butler and professionally for two years, before transitioning into coaching.

"I’m excited to join Coach Muller’s staff and look forward to working with the players and continuing to bring success to the Redbird program and the University as a whole," Veasley said.

Most recently, Veasley was the video coordinator at IUPUI for one season. While at IUPUI, Veasley was in charge of film exchange, film editing and oversaw the design and distribution of individual recruitment portfolios.

Veasley was a four-year player at Butler and helped his team make four-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Final Four run in 2010. Veasley and the Bulldogs were the regular-season Horizon League champions for four-straight years and won the Horizon League Tournament in 2008 and 2010. For his performances on the defensive end of the floor during the 2009-10 season, Veasley was named to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team.

Veasley began his professional career in the BJ League, playing with Niigata Albirex in Niigata City, Japan, for a season before being selected as a fifth-round selection by the Rio Grand Valley Vipers of the NBA D-League. Veasley also worked camps with coaches Brad Stevens and Todd Howard.
