Kloman-Ferguson Appointed Assistant Men's Basketball Coach

(Nashua) - The Daniel Webster men’s basketball program has named Brian Kloman-Ferguson as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Eagles’ program. Kloman-Ferguson’s appointment was announced by Eagle Head Coach Jeremy Currier.

“We are extremely pleased to bring Brian aboard our coaching staff,” noted Currier. “He brings a wealth of experience to all aspects of our program including an outstanding recruiting skill set. I am also looking forward to his contributions on the floor and his direct involvement with all other aspects of our program.”

A native of Asheville, N.C., Kloman-Ferguson joins the Eagles after spending last season at Pfeiffer University (NCAA II) in North Carolina where he served as recruiting coordinator under Head Coach Dave Davis. The Falcons posted a 17-11 overall record including an 11-9 mark in the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference, qualifying for the CVAC championship tournament.

“I am equally excited and happy about the challenges that come with building a top-rate program at Daniel Webster” noted Kloman-Ferguson. “Aside from my friendship with Coach Currier, I am convinced he is one of the youngest and hardest working coaches in the industry. I look forward to working with he and Assistant Coach Mark Dunham to bring Eagle basketball to prominence and to contend for a conference championship.”

Prior to Pfeiffer, Kloman-Ferguson spent the previous year as assistant coach at perennial NAIA powerhouse Georgetown (Ky.) under legendary Head Coach Happy Osborne where the Tigers were ranked as high as second in the country and advanced to the national championship round of 16.

Kloman-Ferguson spent the previous seven seasons at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, where he was part of a coaching staff that led the Volunteers to four straight NCAA tournaments (1998-2001) including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2000, two NIT tournaments (2002-03), two Southeastern Conference Divisional titles, and one SEC Tournament title. Kloman-Ferguson was credited with helping in the recruitment and development of the program’s talented backcourt players, including all-SEC performers Tony Harris, C.J. Watson, and Chris Lofton.

Kloman-Ferguson was a football standout at Reynolds High in Asheville and later went on to play football at East Tennessee State University before transferring to the University of Tennessee where he received a degree in sport management.

Basketball coaching runs deep in the family for Kloman-Ferguson. His father, Chris Ferguson, currently serves as Associate Head Coach at East Carolina University.
