PRESEL NAMED ASSISTANT WOMEN’S
BASKETBALL COACH AT UNA
FLORENCE, Ala., – University of North Alabama
athletic director Joel Erdmann has announced the hiring of Dan
Presel as assistant women’s basketball coach.
Presel will rejoin current Lions head coach Terry Fowler, who
took over head coaching duties in March. The two previously
coached together at Spring Hill College, where Presel spent a
total of six seasons.
Before coming to UNA, Presel spent the 2005-06 season as
assistant women’s basketball coach at the University of
Tennessee-Chattanooga, where the Lady Mocs put together the
nation’s longest winning streak at
26 consecutive games.
“I think it will be an easy transition for Dan to come in to our
system here at UNA,” said Fowler. “We have worked well together
in the past. He is a great recruiter and he already knows what
kind of players I like.”
Aside from recruiting, Presel will also handle strength and
conditioning, as well as specific floor work for the guards.
“Working and developing players is his specialty,” Fowler added.
“I am excited to be working with him again. He will be a great
benefit to our program.”
Presel was a pitcher on the Spring Hill baseball team from
1996-99. He received his Bachelor’s degree in psychology in
1999. He and his wife the former Jill Mathias, who played for
the Lady Badgers from 1996-2000 have a one daughter, Rian.
