Shaun Morris joins first-year head coach Joe Jones and his staff after having spent the last two years at Division III powerhouse Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

"Shaun is a rising star in the coaching world," Jones said. "He spent the last two seasons helping Williams College reach back-to-back Division III final fours. His energy and passion for teaching the game of basketball is exactly what I was looking for in a coach."

A 2005 graduate from Lycoming College (Williamsport, Pa.), Morris spent the last two seasons working under former Creighton and West Virginia assistant coach Mike Maker at fellow Division III member Williams College. The Ephs reached the NCAA Final Four both years and finished as national runner-up in 2010.

Prior to joining Maker's staff, Morris spent four seasons at Towson, first joining the staff as a volunteer assistant in 2005. He then moved to director of basketball operations for the 2006-07 season and later earned a promotion to assistant before the start of the 2008-09 season.

As a collegiate player, Morris helped lead Lycoming to a 53-27 record that included a MAC Freedom Conference championship and a trip to the 2004 NCAA tournament. Graduating with a degree in marketing, he finished as the Warriors' all-time career assist leader with 355.
