Wright State University head basketball coach Brad Brownell dipped into his past to select new assistant coach Victor Ebong. Ebong played for the Raider head coach when he was an assistant coach at UNC Wilmington and the two have kept in close contact ever since.

Ebong, a 2000 graduate from UNCW, played professionally in Sweden and Ireland after college before returning to North Carolina where he has been involved in several sales and coaching positions, including AAU teams and several national camps.

"Vic always impressed me with his basketball knowledge and passion for the game," Brownell said. "Having played at UNCW, he clearly understands the system and has already been a tremendous asset to our players."

On UNCW's first NCAA Tournament team in 2000, the Omaha, NE native was team captain and was named to the Colonial Athletic Association's All-Defensive Team. Additionally, Ebong acted as color commentator for the Seahawks' television games on Comcast/Fox Sportsnet.
