HUNTSVILLE | The University of Alabama in Huntsville men's basketball head coach
John Shulman announced his coaching staff for the 2023-24 campaign, including assistant coaches
Ezra Pinzur,
Dillon Harding and
Max Shulman.
Â
"So excited to have our coaching staff in place," Shulman said. "Moving up Ezra was the right thing and smart thing to do. He is a relentless worker and has made our program better the past two years. He is an incredible team player and has improved our program in so many different ways."
Â
"Dillon and Max have both grown up as a coach's kids and they know how the business works and I'm excited to watch them both grow as young coaches," Shulman continued.
Â
Pinzur rises to the top assistant on coach Shulman's bench as he has been a member of the UAH men's basketball coaching staff for the past two seasons. In his two years, he has helped guide the squad to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances to go along with a GSC Regular Season Championship in 2022-23.
Â
Harding enters his second season as an assistant coach with the Chargers, after appearing in the Blue & White on the court in 27 contests from 2019-22. The Albertville, Alabama, native specializes in guiding the squad's offense, which averaged 76.2 points per game and 11.0 made three-pointers per game.
Â
"Dillon moves up a spot and will continue to help our program on the offensive end and in every facet of the running a program. His transition from player to coach was amazing and was so proud and excited to see his growth as a coach," coach Shulman said.
Â
Max Shulman begins his collegiate coaching career in the 2023-24 campaign, after appearing in 151 career games with the Chargers from 2018-23. Shulman ended his career with the most made three-pointers in program history with 349 over his storied playing career, while helping UAH garner NCAA tournament berths five times.
Â
"Thrilled with adding a familiar face to Charger Nation and our coaching staff,
Max Shulman," coach
John Shulman said. "Max collected four rings as a player and leaves the program as the leading three-point shooter in UAH history. He was a coach on the court and now it is his time to help lead as a coach and mentor."
