Job duties include:

  • Assisting the coaching staff 
  • Assisting with game day preparation 

To apply, email Assistant Coach Devon Camel at [email protected]. The email subject line should be, “Men’s Basketball Student Manager,” and the email should include your resume and/or a list of all previous basketball experience.
