STATESBORO - Georgia Southern assistant women's basketball coach Deont'a McChester has been promoted to associate head coach, announced today by head coach Anita Howard.
McChester will begin his third season with the Eagles for the upcoming 2022-23 campaign. Over the last two seasons, he has helped Georgia Southern to a 29-23 record, including last season's 18-10 year that was the best season for Eagle women's basketball in more than a decade. As the recruiting coordinator, McChester has been instrumental in bringing in student-athletes who have earned Sun Belt Weekly and Season honors and as a defensive coach, he has been instrumental in the Eagles ranking nationally in steals and turnovers forced over the last two seasons.
