Lucas McKay is in just his second year at Wright State but he is very familiar with head coach Brad Brownell's style.

McKay was a student assistant for Brownell's teams at UNC Wilmington before being named an assistant coach at Harrell's Christian Academy in 2006-07. He graduated from UNCW in 2006 with a degree in political science and has worked several regional and national camps and tournaments as a coach or administrator. While serving as an assistant coach at Harrell's Christian, McKay also worked as an administrative assistant for Murphy Family Ventures of Wallace, North Carolina.

"Lucas is a hard working and dedicated young coach who I was fortunate to have at UNC Wilmington," says Brownell. "He is extremely organized and will help us a great deal administratively."

McKay will oversee the day-to-day organization of the basketball office as well as team managers, recruit mailings and scouting.
