Texas Wesleyan University names Brian Wanamaker new head coach

**Brian Wanamaker Named New Head Coach at Texas Wesleyan University** 

Fort Worth, Texas – Texas Wesleyan University (TWU) has appointed Brian Wanamaker as the new head coach of its men’s basketball team. Wanamaker, who has been an integral part of the TWU coaching staff for the past four years as an assistant coach, brings a wealth of experience and resilience to his new role. 

A native of North Philadelphia, Wanamaker’s journey is nothing short of inspirational. Growing up in a challenging environment, he found solace and purpose in basketball. His talent and hard work led him to perennial powerhouse Roman Catholic High School, where he was mentored by Rasool Hajj. This mentorship not only shaped his basketball career but also instilled in him a passion for coaching and helping young athletes. 

Wanamaker played college basketball at Central Connecticut State University and Lon Morris College before transferring to Texas Wesleyan. During his two years at TWU, he was a standout player, earning the title of Conference Player of the Year and becoming a First Team NAIA All-American. Following his graduation, Wanamaker was drafted to the NBA’s D-league. His success on the court extended to a seven-year professional career overseas in Germany and Lithuania. 

In 2019, Wanamaker returned to TWU as an assistant coach under Brennen Shingleton, who recently resigned after a successful tenure. Wanamaker’s coaching career, however, faced a significant challenge in September 2022 when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of cancer. Despite undergoing rigorous treatments, including chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, Wanamaker continued to coach, demonstrating incredible dedication and resilience. 

Wanamaker’s battle with cancer has profoundly impacted his outlook on life and coaching. “It changed my life in the sense of valuing time even more so than before,” he said. His determination to fight the disease while supporting his family and team has inspired many around him. 

As head coach, Wanamaker aims to continue fostering a disciplined and supportive environment for his players, much like his mentor did for him. He is committed to not only improving their skills on the court but also helping them grow as individuals. 

“I look forward to being more active on the sideline and competing for a conference championship,” Wanamaker said, expressing his excitement for the upcoming season. 

With his unique blend of personal and professional experience, Brian Wanamaker is set to lead Texas Wesleyan’s basketball team to new heights, embodying the spirit of resilience and dedication.
