Head coach LaVall Jordan has announced that Will Vergollo has been named an assistant coach for the Milwaukee men's basketball team.

Vergollo just completed his third year as the video analyst for the University of Michigan men's basketball program. In that capacity, he managed and assisted the entire basketball staff with the video operations for the program. He headed up the film exchange program, coordinated the recording of opponent games and assisted with preparation for scouting reports. 

"I am also very excited about Will's addition to the staff," Jordan said. "He is a tireless worker and a great student of the game. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious and he is a relationship guy who will quickly connect with our players and recruits. We've worked extremely close together, so he is aware of the things we want to execute both on and off the court."

In addition, he led a managerial staff responsible for the filming of all U-M practices and games, as well as assisted with the organization and running of Michigan basketball camps and the U-M coaching clinic. During his three seasons on the Wolverines' staff, the program reached the NCAA Tournament twice, including a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2013-14.

Vergollo was also an assistant coach under first-year head coach Patrick Beilein at West Virginia Wesleyan in 2012-13. Prior to his time at West Virginia Wesleyan, Vergollo had spent six years with the Wolverine basketball program. He spent two years as U-M's graduate manager (2010-12), earning his master's degree in higher education administration and leadership from U-M in 2012. Before his graduate work, he spent four years as a student manager, including the last two as the head manager. 

Vergollo completed his bachelor's degree in sports management from U-M in 2010. During his undergrad work, he was part of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars for four years and was the winner of the University Presidential Inaugural Conference Award in 2009. A native of Ann Arbor, Vergollo was the first recipient of the Joel Portnoy Outstanding Student Manager Scholarship in 2009 and received the honor again in 2010. He also served as a U-M Camp Administrator for the basketball team summer camps for five years.
