James McKinnon commented on the appointment saying “I am excited to work with Matt, his experience in developing younger athletes will be greatly beneficial. I’m looking forward to learning from him and also helping him become a better coach. We had some great on court battles in our playing days pushing each other to better players, I only think that’ll be continued off the court and working to become better coaches.”

Matt started his domestic career in the SPBA at the age of 6, quickly working his way through the Southern Peninsula pathway and eventually being offered a scholarship to the University of Northern Oklahoma.
