ESU Basketball

Assistant Coach
Ben McCollum

Ben McCollum is in his third year as an assistant with the Hornet basketball program, but is no stranger to MIAA basketball. He was a graduate assistant at Northwest Missouri State after wrapping up a two-year playing career for the Bearcats.

He serves as a defensive coordinator and oversees academic affairs for the Hornets. Under his guidance ESU had their second player make the MIAA All-Defensive Team and posted a team GPA of 3.02 in the fall of 2006, the best mark among men's teams at ESU that semester.

McCollum is a native of Storm Lake, Iowa and began his college career at North Iowa Area CC. He was a two-time all-region performer for NIACC prior to transferring to Northwest Missouri State. The Bearcats advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in his junior year.

He and his wife Michelle are the parents of a son, Peyton.
