OFFICIAL: WVU Names Josh Eilert Interim Head Coach
It took some time but West Virginia athletic director Wren Baker has finally made a decision. Baker has tabbed Josh Eilert as the interim head coach of the men's basketball team.
"Josh Eilert is the right person to lead our men's basketball program next season," Baker said via press release. "He has been an important part of our success, and he has displayed great integrity, work ethic and dedication. He has been involved in all facets of our program during his time on the basketball staff, and he has earned this opportunity to coach our team on an interim basis for the 2023-24 season."
Eilert joined Huggins' staff at Kansas State and followed him over to Morgantown. He served as the team's video coordinator for six seasons before moving into the role of Assistant Athletics Director for Basketball Operations. Last July, Eilert moved into an assistant coach role, replacing Erik Martin who became the head coach at South Carolina State
