Coach Ryan Wise takes us through his coaching journey. For a coach under the age of 30, he's been at multiple levels and served under some solid coaches. He didn't take the traditional Student Manager route, instead he coached middle school, high school and AAU while he was in college at West Virginia University. After graduating from WVU he accepted a non-paid Assistant Coach position at West Virginia Tech and helped them earn an At-Large bid to the NAIA National Tournament. He worked a few camps including UNC and Virginia Tech and maintains relationships with the camp staff to this day. The next season he accepted a Graduate Assistant position at Mercer under the legendary Bob Hoffman and got his first taste of NCAA DI basketball in the highly competitive SoCon (Southern Conference). Unfortunately when Coach Hoffman was fired, his replacement [Greg Gary] was unsure if he'd retain him, Coach Wise was offered a full-time Assistant Coach position at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania and accepted it. This past season Coach Wise served under Terrence Smith and helped the Bearcats get selected as preseason favorites in the PAC as well as have multiple win streaks including a season-high six game win streak. Coach Wise talks about his decision to be represented by an agency as what they've done for him as far as professional development.
