Georgia Southern Head Women’s Basketball Coach Anita Howard announced the addition of Josh Cooperwood to the Eagles coaching staff today.

Cooperwood comes to Statesboro from fellow Sun Belt Conference school UL Monroe, where he served as an assistant coach for the Warhawks for the 2018-19 season. He also has previous stops at Mississippi Valley State (2017-18) and at NC Central (2016-17).

A graduate of Tennessee State University and a former All-OVC standout for the Tigers, Cooperwood began his coaching career as a student assistant for the men’s team. He transitioned over to the Tennessee State women’s team as the director of basketball operations for three seasons, then was an assistant coach in his final season with the Tigers in 2015-16.

“Coop is an outstanding addition to our program! He is a true player’s coach,  who has competed on a professional level.  He brings a wealth of basketball knowledge.  A true blue collar guy, Coop is well known and respected in our business, and his loyalty is unmatched. He knows the Sun Belt Conference well and will assist us in not only bringing in top tier recruits, but developing our post play giving us a more dominant presence  inside.

Cooperwood earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Tennessee State in 2003.
