West Virginia’s basketball coaching search is over, at least until the Spring.
Josh Eilert, a longtime member of the Mountaineer basketball staff, has been named the interim head coach for West Virginia University’s men’s basketball team, according to an announcement made by Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker. Eilert, who has been with the university for 16 seasons, will lead the team for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
Baker noted that an extensive search was conducted, consulting with various knowledgeable basketball individuals across the country, including coaches and professional basketball executives, to identify potential candidates.
