Marshall University Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick introduced Tom Herrion as the Thundering Herd's 28th head men's basketball coach Saturday.

"I am excited to have Tom join the Thundering Herd family as our new men's basketball coach," Hamrick said. "Tom is an experienced head coach and has been a top assistant at some of the nation's best basketball programs. He brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success with him. I talked with a lot of people throughout this process and everyone I spoke with thought very highly of him as both a recruiter and coach."

Herrion brings 21 years of collegiate coaching experience to Huntington. Marshall marks the second time Herrion will serve as a head coach at the NCAA Division I level. From 2002-06, Herrion was the head coach at the College of Charleston where he posted an impressive 80-38 record (a .678 winning percentage). His first Cougar squad (2002-03) went 25-8, won the Great Alaska Shootout, earned a national top-25 ranking and made the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). His 25 victories marked the highest win total of any first-year NCAA Division I head coach during that season. Herrion's teams won at least 17 games each year during his time at the helm of the College of Charleston program including a 20-9 record during the 2003-04 campaign.
