The hire brings to an end a search that began 17 days ago when Maestri announced his retirement following the team’s loss to Arkansas State in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Championships. Cunningham’s resume spans over 20 years and was an assistant coach at several programs in the southeast, including Georgia State, Mississippi State, and Western Kentucky. “It is a tremendous honor and privilege to be named the new head men’s basketball coach at Troy University,” said Cunningham.
