Matt Matheny Heading Home

Saw over the weekend that Matt Matheny is back on staff at Davidson as an Assistant Coach. I know he had been doing some broadcasting for the Big South and the SoCon. Not shocked to see this and had actually been expecting it. Best of luck to Coach Matheny at Davidson.

Yes. Best of luck to Matt. I'm sure he will do very well there.

Thrilled to see him land another coaching gig. Always takes a great deal of courage to withstand and resist other tempting offers, all while awaiting the offer with the best fit.

I’d imagine Davidson views him as a long-term project; with a few years of resettling back in with his home program, he can be groomed as their next head coach when Mckillop calls it quits.

I always thought with one more year at Elon he could have gotten us over the hump and to our first NCAA Tournament. Maybe Billy Taylor and staff will be able to lead us there. Either way, I hope Mr. Taylor builds off the foundation that Matt set. Whether it was running a tight, academically driven program or commanding the sideline and timeout huddle, he was a leader that garnered the respect and admiration of anyone he crossed paths with.

So happy not only for the man that is our former coach, but someone I’d call a close friend. We’ll miss having you and your family here in the Elon community, Matt!
