2017-18 LITTLE ROCK BASKETBALL HEAD COACH WES FLANIGAN Wes Flanigan enters his second season as head coach in 2017-18. Flanigan’s first season as head coach saw the Trojans earn nine non-conference victories and win the Lone Star Showcase in Cedar Park, Texas. Flanigan was announced as Little Rock’s new head coach on March 31, 2016. A Little Rock native, Flanigan has spent a total of six years with the program, including a season as associate head coach on the Trojans’ record-setting 2015-16 team. In addition to a previous stint as a Little Rock assistant from 2004-08, Flanigan worked as a member of the staffs at Mississippi State, Nebraska and UAB. With Flanigan serving as associate head coach, Little Rock established new program records for wins (30), Sun Belt wins (17) and road wins (12) in 2015-16. The Trojans won their first-ever outright Sun Belt Conference Championship in the regular season before winning the league’s postseason tournament for the second time. The Trojans won 18 or more games twice during Flanigan’s first run in Little Rock. In the 2007-08 season, the Trojans won 20 games while Flanigan served as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Flanigan joined UAB as an assistant coach in 2008-09. Over two seasons in Birmingham, the Blazers won 47 games and made two NIT appearances. In 2009-10, the Blazers went 25-9 to match a program record for victories before reaching the quarterfinals of the NIT. Flanigan was an assistant at Nebraska for two seasons (2010-12) before serving on Rick Ray’s staff at Mississippi State from 2012-15. Flanigan joined the Trojans in 2004 after five seasons as an assistant at Northwest Mississippi Community College. During his time at Northwest, Flanigan worked with both the men’s and women’s teams and helped lead the men’s squad to a record of 119-39. The Northwest men’s program also won three Region XXIII championships and earned three trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship tournament during Flanigan’s tenure. The Rangers also captured two MACJC North Division titles and the 2001 state championship. Flanigan was named the 1992-93 Gatorade High School Player of the Year in Arkansas while playing for Charles Ripley and his father, Al, at Little Rock Parkview High School. He went on to earn four letters at Auburn (1993-97), where he was All-SEC as a junior and team co-captain for three seasons. He finished his college career averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. He ranks second on Auburn’s career assists list (573) and is 22nd on the program’s all-time scoring list (1,228). Flanigan graduated from Auburn in 1997 with a degree in health promotion and was the recipient of the Cliff Hare Award, presented annually to the university’s top student-athlete. He and his wife, Katrina, have three sons: Michael Lewis, Allen and Collin.

2017-18 LITTLE ROCK BASKETBALL HEAD COACH WES FLANIGAN Wes Flanigan enters his second season as head coach in 2017-18. Flanigan’s first season as head coach saw the Trojans earn nine non-conference victories and win the Lone Star Showcase in Cedar Park, Texas. Flanigan was announced as Little Rock’s new head coach on March 31, 2016. A Little Rock native, Flanigan has spent a total of six years with the program, including a season as associate head coach on the Trojans’ record-setting 2015-16 team. In addition to a previous stint as a Little Rock assistant from 2004-08, Flanigan worked as a member of the staffs at Mississippi State, Nebraska and UAB. With Flanigan serving as associate head coach, Little Rock established new program records for wins (30), Sun Belt wins (17) and road wins (12) in 2015-16. The Trojans won their first-ever outright Sun Belt Conference Championship in the regular season before winning the league’s postseason tournament for the second time. The Trojans won 18 or more games twice during Flanigan’s first run in Little Rock. In the 2007-08 season, the Trojans won 20 games while Flanigan served as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Flanigan joined UAB as an assistant coach in 2008-09. Over two seasons in Birmingham, the Blazers won 47 games and made two NIT appearances. In 2009-10, the Blazers went 25-9 to match a program record for victories before reaching the quarterfinals of the NIT. Flanigan was an assistant at Nebraska for two seasons (2010-12) before serving on Rick Ray’s staff at Mississippi State from 2012-15. Flanigan joined the Trojans in 2004 after five seasons as an assistant at Northwest Mississippi Community College. During his time at Northwest, Flanigan worked with both the men’s and women’s teams and helped lead the men’s squad to a record of 119-39. The Northwest men’s program also won three Region XXIII championships and earned three trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship tournament during Flanigan’s tenure. The Rangers also captured two MACJC North Division titles and the 2001 state championship. Flanigan was named the 1992-93 Gatorade High School Player of the Year in Arkansas while playing for Charles Ripley and his father, Al, at Little Rock Parkview High School. He went on to earn four letters at Auburn (1993-97), where he was All-SEC as a junior and team co-captain for three seasons. He finished his college career averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. He ranks second on Auburn’s career assists list (573) and is 22nd on the program’s all-time scoring list (1,228). Flanigan graduated from Auburn in 1997 with a degree in health promotion and was the recipient of the Cliff Hare Award, presented annually to the university’s top student-athlete. He and his wife, Katrina, have three sons: Michael Lewis, Allen and Collin.
