Assistant coach Cameron Coons joined the Hatter staff in August 2024. Coons is no stranger to Atlantic Sun baseball, having spent last season with the Queens Royals staff, where he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. His stop in Charlotte came after a two-year stint as an assistant at Marshall University.
With the Herd, Coons oversaw and facilitated skill development, which featured the coaching and implementation of biomechanical and analytical information for player development. Under his direction in 2021, Coons developed First Team All-Conference USA recipient Luke Edward as well as Ryan Leitch, a Johnny Bench Watch List recipient and current catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
Prior to serving at Marshall, Coons was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Snead State Community College in Alabama. Coons assembled a recruiting class in 2022 that produced a school record for wins, as well as its first Alabama state title and advancement to the JUCO World Series. The year prior, Coons led the Parsons to the ACCC North Regular Season title, which resulted in two players being named First Team All-Region. That success led Coons to be named the 2021 Assistant Coach of the Year for the state of Alabama.
"Cameron brings a wealth of knowledge as a tremendous coach and recruiter," said Trimper. "His experience working with student-athletes will undoubtedly help our program achieve success and reach our goals of championships."
