Mark Schult returned to University of West Georgia in September 2023 after spending the
previous two seasons at Division III Centre College in Danville, KY.
During Schult’s time at Centre College, he coached three All-Southern Athletic Association
selections (RJ Smith, Dustin Gerald, Cade Stinnett), three SAA Players of the Week (Carter
Baughman, Smith, Stinnett), and the 2023 SAA Newcomer of the Year (Stinnett). He played big
roles in recruiting, BLOB Offense, scouting reports, social media, and skill development in the
program.
From 2019-2021, Schult served the Wolves’ program as a Graduate Assistant. In his two
seasons, he was able to touch all areas of the program through recruiting, player development,
study hall, scouting, community service, summer camps, and social media. During his first stint
at UWG, the Wolves earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament where they defeated
Valdosta State in the opening round. Two players were named to the All-GSC Teams (Seth Brown-
Carter, Michael Zabetakis), three players were named GSC Player of the Week (Zabetakis, Jalen
Sasser, Keshawn Heard), and one GSC Commissioners’ Trophy (Zabetakis) during his time.
Schult also served as a member of the Rising Coaches Digital Content Team in the 2020-21
season. For his efforts, he was selected as 1 of 13 coaches (from a pool of over 1500+ eligible
members) as a recipient of the inaugural Rising Coaches Honors Award in Fall of 2021, for his
contributions to the Rising Coaches and basketball coaching communities.
Prior to West Georgia, Schult was as an Assistant Coach for Clark State College in Springfield,
OH. He played a large role in turning around the Eagles' culture, as the program went from
one win to 15 wins over his two seasons. Two players (Jomar Bailey, Korey Joyner) were named to
the All-OCCAC Team during his tenure.Â
Prior to Clark State, Schult served as a Student Assistant at Wittenberg University, where he
