Justin Potts enters his sixth season as the top assistant coach at East Stroudsburg University. Potts has served alongside Jeff Wilson since Wilson was named head coach prior to the 2002-03 season. He has been ESU's recruiting coordinator since arriving on campus and has been instrumental in helping the Warriors return to the top of the PSAC East standings. ESU has made back-to-back playoff appearances in 2005-06 and 2006-07 for the first time in more than a decade.

In addition to his duties as recruiting coordinator, Potts assists with player development and scouting. He has coached All-PSAC East selections Rich Baker, Anthony Ross, Danny Hargrove and Darron Bradley and also serves as the co-director of Warrior Basketball camps.

Prior to joining Wilson on the sidelines at ESU, Potts served as an assistant coach at Moravian College, his alma mater, where his responsibilities included recruiting and summer camps.

Potts graduated from Moravian in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in English, and earned his master's degree in Exercise Science from ESU this summer. Potts resides in Bethlehem, Pa.

"Coach Potts has been a major contributor to the turnaround of the ESU basketball program. His efforts in recruiting have helped to upgrade the talent level of the program during the five seasons he has been an assistant. In addition, his basketball knowledge and teaching ability have helped develop the players in our program, including four all-league players," Wilson said.
