Mark Montgomery Appointed as Detroit Mercy's New Head Coach

Montgomery, previously assistant at Michigan State and head coach at Northern Illinois, aims to revitalize the Titans' basketball program.

Mark Montgomery has been hired as the new head coach for Detroit Mercy, following a tenure as an assistant coach at Michigan State.
The appointment comes nearly a month after Detroit Mercy parted ways with former coach Mike Davis, following a season where the Titans recorded 26 straight losses.
Montgomery, a Michigan native and former Michigan State point guard, expressed his honor and excitement to lead the program back to prominence.
During his coaching career at Northern Illinois, Montgomery led the team to a Mid-American Conference division title in 2020 but was fired after a 1-7 record in the pandemic-shortened season.
Montgomery's hiring is seen as a move to leverage his extensive coaching experience and local roots to rebuild the Titans' basketball program.
