Head coach with local ties joins Jerrod Calhoun’s staff at Cincinnati

ALLIANCE, Ohio (WKBN) – Mount Union men’s basketball head coach Mike Fuline has stepped down to accept an assistant coaching position at the University of Cincinnati.

Fuline, whose uncle Joe coached at Struthers for 24 years, will join former Youngstown State head coach Jerrod Calhoun’s staff during his first season with the Bearcats.

“From the first day on the job 15 years ago, we set out to build a family-first program,” said Fuline in a press release. “The players, coaches, administration, and the community embraced that attitude and over time became a family we hope made the university and community proud. Having the opportunity to join a head coach in Jerrod Calhoun and his staff who embrace those same philosophies in Cincinnati is something I am truly grateful for. From all the Fulines to everyone at Mount Union, THANK YOU, we will miss you. And to Larry Kehres, thank you for taking a chance on us. Your mentoring and friendship will never be forgotten.”…
