KEVIN NICKELBERRY HEAD COACH When Kevin Nickelberry was hired as head men s basketball coach at Howard University in 2010, he inherited a program that had not had a winning season in almost a decade. Nickelberry, who had served as an assistant coach on the Hilltop from 1994-98 under Mike McLeese, has shown Bison nation why he has earned the reputation as a program builder before he came to the Hilltop. over a decade. Slowly but surely, the hard-working Nickelberry would get the ship right. Using his well respected recruiting skills, he began to build through freshmen and an occasional transfer. The results were not seen immediately but there was progress. Then it all began to come together last season when the talent-laden sophomore class along with senior transfer James JC Carlton, meshed together. It resulted in a 16-win season, the most since the 2001-02 season. Moreover, the Bison went 10-6 in the MEAC, good for fourth place and received their highest tournament seed in Some significant milestones include breaking the team s non-conference losing streak that was one of the tops in the country at the time; a signature road win at South Alabama last season; and breaking a 20-losses in a season streak. Last season s success was buoyed by Carlton, who was named to the first team All-MEAC team and James J-Byrd Daniel, III. Daniel, the former MEAC Rookie of the Year, was named to the second team and earned his place in the Howard history books, becoming the first male player in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau in only his second season. It also marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that the Bison have had two players honored on the first and second teams. It must also be noted that during Nickelberry s tenure, several members of the team have been named to the MEAC Commissioner s All-Academic team. The mercurial Nickelberry provided a jump start in the classroom and Howard now boast one of the top basketball academic programs in the MEAC and the country with the team sporting a 3.0 GPA going into the 2015-16 season. Before coming to Howard, Nickelberry was the head coach at Hampton University from 2006-2009. During his three years with the Pirates, he helped guide his teams to 20 non-conference wins, collecting 49 Division I wins during his tenure, which ranked second among MEAC schools. He has also been responsible for producing 22 All-conference selections. A native of Washington, D.C., Nickelberry spent the 2009-10 year as the head coach of the Libya National Basketball Team. Nickelberry began his coaching career as the head women s basketball coach at Columbia Union College in 1991 and moved to Howard University for four seasons, from 1994-1998. During his time in the coaching ranks, Nickelberry worked in all areas including recruiting, fundraising, marketing and public relations. The 50-year-old has been a major part of every aspect, especially during his three-year tenure at Clemson from 2003-2006 when he recruited nine players on the Tigers 2007-08 and 2008-09 NCAA Tournament teams. Nickelberry, who has paid his dues, served as the assistant coach at UNC Charlotte for two seasons. Over that period in 2001-03, he helped develop Eddie Basden, the second player in Conference USA history to win Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season. He also contributed to successful programs at Holy Cross and at Monmouth. For his efforts, he was rated among the Top 25 Up-and-Coming college basketball coaches by The Sporting News and Hoopscooponline.com in 2008. Nickelberry graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Virginia Wesleyan University. He and his wife, Mamie, have two sons, Kyan and Kelby.
