Bryan Sherrer Joins Men's Basketball Coaching Staff

MOREHEAD, Ky -- Bryan Sherrer, an experienced coach at many levels, has joined the Morehead State men's basketball staff with head coach Jonathan Mattox.

Sherrer heads to MSU from another MSU - Murray State. He served as assistant coach there in 2024-25 after first being in the role of graduate assistant at Murray State from 2011-14. He has also had a lengthy stint on the staff at Three Rivers (Mo.) College and coached at Arkansas-Pine Bluff as well.

"We're really excited to welcome Coach Sherrer to our staff," said Mattox. "I've known him for a long time going back to his time as a graduate assistant at Murray State and my time as a graduate assistant here. Coach Sherrer has been a part of several championship teams, and coached some high level players.  He and I share a lot of the some values, and I know his influence on our student-athletes will be tremendous."

Prior to his second go-around at Murray last winter, he was at Arkansas-Pine Bluff from 2021-24 as associate head coach. 

Before APB, Sherrer was at Three Rivers from 2014-21, a place he also spent time at as a student and student-athlete. There, he recruited 37 players who advanced to play at four-year programs, including 19 that played at the Division I level and five NJCAA All-America players.

In his time as a graduate assistant at Murray, he was part of the 2011-12 team that was the final undefeated team in the nation at 23-0 - a team that broke into the top 10 nationally. He worked with NBA Draft selections Isaiah Canaan, in his senior season, and the freshman season of Cameron Payne. The Racers were 75-23 in Sherrer's three seasons on the bench.

His playing career began at Three Rivers, where he was NJCAA Region 16 Player of the Year and was NJCAA All-America. He transferred to South Alabama where he was team captain from 2008-10. In 2009-10, Sherrer finished eighth in the nation in free throw percentage at 90.1.

Originally from Monticello, Ark., he earned his bachelor's degree from South Alabama in 2011 and earned his Master's Degree from Murray in 2013.
