Corey Mullins Named Assistant Women's Basketball Coach

"I am thrilled that Coach Mullins will be joining our staff," said Fisher. "Corey is a tremendous person who values the same core principles of hard work and sacrifice that our program is built on. He has collegiate experience as both a head and assistant coach and I will rely heavily on him for advice in all aspects of our program. Coach Mullins has a wonderful family as well, and it is a privilege to welcome them to the PC community."

Mullins arrives at PC after two seasons as the head women's basketball coach at Covenant (Ga.) College. In his second year, Mullins improved on his first year's win total as the Scots played their first campaign as Great South Athletic Conference members. The new Blue Hose assistant guided the program to a tie for sixth place, helped the program secure an All-Freshman Team selection and presided over six All-Academic Team selections, second-most in the league.

"The opportunity to work at PC is truly an honor for me and my family," said Mullins. "I have great respect for Coach Fisher and the foundations in which he has built this program. I am looking forward to coming alongside Coach Fisher and Coach Elliot to help take this program to another level. My family is looking forward to connecting with the community and serving the program and the college to the best of our abilities."

Prior to his time at Covenant, Mullins served as the head men's coach at Kentucky Christian University. He led the Knights to a 36-29 overall record and an NCCAA Mid-East region tournament championship in 2009, as well as frequent rankings in the NCCAA top 10 during both seasons.

Mullins arrived at Kentucky Christian by way of Boyce College in Louisville, Ky., where he took over as the head coach in only the second season of the program's history. Mullins led the team to a 6-21 season before leaving to join Kentucky Christian's staff.

The Blue Hose assistant began his coaching career at Bryan College, in Dayton, Tenn. Mullins served as an assistant on the women's side and guided the Lady Lions to four consecutive NAIA national tournaments (2003-2007) and a trip to the sweet sixteen in 2006.  Bryan also won the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) tournament in 2005 and the AAC regular season in 2006 and 2007 during Mullins' tenure.

Mullins graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2003 with a degree in business education and is working toward a master's degree in Sports Science and Management through the US Sports Academy. Mullins and his wife Carrie and three son: Grady (4), Tate (2) and Levi (six months).
