Hampton: Pirates Choose ACC Assistant



Pirates Choose ACC Assistant: Hampton officials ended their search for a new coach by hiring Clemson recruiting coordinator Kevin Nickelberry. The position will be Nickelberry’s first head coaching position after working as an assistant at Clemson, Charlotte, Holy Cross, Monmouth and Howard at the Division I level. He spent the past three years with the Tigers under coach Oliver Purnell. Nickelberry replaces Bobby Collins, who resigned after leading the Pirates to a Mid-Eastern Atlantic Athletic Conference championship and opening round loss in the NCAA Tournament. [4/03/06]
