BALTIMORE, MD — Fayetteville State head coach Devin Hoehn has left his mark on the CIAA and HBCU basketball in a short period of time.
The 31 year old led Fayetteville State to a 71-68 win over Bluefield State 71-68 on Saturday to claim the 2026 CIAA Men’s Basketball Championship. But the trophy was the final chapter of a journey that began two programs ago and was built on relationships.
“I’m big on relationships and family. That’s number one,” Hoehn said. “If you can’t be close with your players, it’s going to be a long year for you.”
