Howard University Head Coach Kevin Nickelberry HEAD COACH KEVIN NICKELBERRY
KEVIN NICKELBERRY HOWARD UNIVERSITY HEAD COACH 2014-15 IS FIFTH YEAR AS HU HEAD COACH & NINTH YEAR OVERALL AS A HEAD COACH
Kevin Nickelberry Howard University Head Coach Kevin Nickelberry enters his fifth season as head coach of the Howard University men’s basketball team. During the past four seasons, Nickelberry has begun to build the program back to respectability. Regarded as one of the top recruiters in America, Nickelberry put together one of the top recruiting classes in school history last season, featuring nine freshmen. Included in that class was James “J-Bird” Daniel, the freshman phenom who set the college game on fire with his prolific scoring and was named the MEAC Rookie of the Year and is the 2014-15 MEAC Preseason Player of the Year. With the outstanding class in tow, the Howard University men’s basketball program under Nickelberry is prime to establish itself as one of the tops in the MEAC. Prior to coming to Howard, Nickelberry served as the head coach of the Libya National Basketball team. Before that, he was head coach at Hampton University from 2006-09. During his three year tenure with the Pirates, Nickelberry helped guide his teams to 20 non-conference wins. He collected 49 Division 1 wins during that period to rank second among MEAC schools. Before Hampton, he was an assistant at Clemson and made an impact on the program there during his tenure from 200306 when he recruited nine players on the Tigers’ 2007-08 and 2008-09 NCAA
Tournament teams. Before that, Nickelberry was 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. Nickelberry also contributed to successful programs at Holy Cross and Monmouth. For his efforts, Nickelberry was rated among the Top 25 “Up-and-Coming” college basketball coaches by The Sporting News and Hoopscooponline.com in 2008. 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 1994-98. While at Howard, he played a role in the recruitment of backtoback MEAC Rookies of the Year. During his time in the coaching ranks,the versatile Nickelberry worked in all areas, including recruiting, fundraising, marketing and public relations. Nickelberry has become active in the Washington, DC community due to his campaign for Stop the Bullying among youth. The Kevin Nickelberry basketball camp has also shown tremendous growth during his tenure at Howard, featuring youth from all over the District of Columbia/Maryland/ Virginia area. Nickelberry graduated from Virginia Wesleyan in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. He and his wife, Mamie have two sons, Kyan and Kelby.

During the past four seasons, Nickelberry has begun to build the program back to respectability. Regarded as one of the top recruiters in America, Nickelberry put together one of the top recruiting classes in school history last season, featuring nine freshmen. Included in that class was James “J-Bird” Daniel, the freshman phenom who set the college game on fire with his prolific scoring and was named the MEAC Rookie of the Year and is the 2014-15 MEAC Preseason Player of the Year. With the outstanding class in tow, the Howard University men’s basketball program under Nickelberry is prime to establish itself as one of the tops in the MEAC. Prior to coming to Howard, Nickelberry served as the head coach of the Libya National Basketball team. Before that, he was head coach at Hampton University from 2006-09. During his three year tenure with the Pirates, Nickelberry helped guide his teams to 20 non-conference wins. He collected 49 Division 1 wins during that period to rank second among MEAC schools. Before Hampton, he was an assistant at Clemson and made an impact on the program there during his tenure from 200306 when he recruited nine players on the Tigers’ 2007-08 and 2008-09 NCAA
Tournament teams. Before that, Nickelberry was 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. Nickelberry also contributed to successful programs at Holy Cross and Monmouth. For his efforts, Nickelberry was rated among the Top 25 “Up-and-Coming” college basketball coaches by The Sporting News and Hoopscooponline.com in 2008. 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 1994-98. While at Howard, he played a role in the recruitment of backtoback MEAC Rookies of the Year. During his time in the coaching ranks,the versatile Nickelberry worked in all areas, including recruiting, fundraising, marketing and public relations. Nickelberry has become active in the Washington, DC community due to his campaign for Stop the Bullying among youth. The Kevin Nickelberry basketball camp has also shown tremendous growth during his tenure at Howard, featuring youth from all over the District of Columbia/Maryland/ Virginia area. Nickelberry graduated from Virginia Wesleyan in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. He and his wife, Mamie have two sons, Kyan and Kelby.
