Coach Dwight Perry shares his journey from growing up in Durham North Carolina to becoming a walk-on at the University of Kentucky - and now the Head Coach at Wofford College.
Perry walked-on for Coach Tubby Smith at the University of Kentucky and following his graduation from Kentucky he went on to intern with the Stanford University Men's Basketball Team under Coach Johnny Dawkins. Following his time in Palo Alto he accepted a Graduate Assistant position at VCU under Coach Shaka Smart. After earning his Master's Degree from VCU he remained on staff as the Video Coordinator for one season before accepting an Assistant Coach position at Furman under Coach Niko Medved.
After a nice run at Furman under both Coach Niko Medved and Coach Bob Richey - including back-to-back CIT appearances, he moved to Spartanburg to become an Assistant Coach at Wofford College. He was a part of a Wofford program that won games at North Carolina and Georgia during his first few seasons on staff. Coach Perry was promoted to the Associate Head Coach in 2021 and in December of 2022 he was named the Interim Head Coach. During his time as the Interim Head Coach he led Wofford to a win at Texas A&M - which was their only loss at home all season, and as the six seed in the SoCon Tournament the Terriers knocked off third seeded UNCG.
Dwight Perry was named the Head Coach at Wofford College in March of 2023.
