Cody McCoy begins his second season as a member of the Southeastern Louisiana men's basketball staff for the start of the 2024-25 season.
His first season at Southeastern was successful, helping David Kiefer guide the Lions to a third-straight season with a winning record in Southland Conference play, as well as a fourth-straight berth into the Southland Conference Championship Tournament.
McCoy comes to Southeastern after four seasons in the junior college ranks at Kilgore College in northeast Texas.

He coached three All-Americans, two Conference Players of the Year, and 12 players who went on to play in Division I. Additionally, with McCoy serving as the team’s academic liaison, Kilgore’s men’s basketball team held a cumulative 3.0 GPA or greater all four years.
