WKU has introduced Kentucky native Rick Stansbury as the school's new men's head basketball coach.
Stansbury played his high school basketball at Meade County, and comes to WKU after two seasons as an assistant coach at Texas A&M. He previously was head coach at Mississippi St. for 14 seasons.
Stansbury takes over the WKU job following the resignation of Ray Harper almost two weeks ago.
Stansbury has 293 career wins and 11 postseason trips as a head coach.
During his final ten seasons with Mississippi St., only Kentucky won more SEC championships than the eight won by the Bulldogs. He took the team to the postseason 11 times, with six NCAA appearances, and became the school's all-time wins leader.
