Assistant Coach Cameron Whicker High Point ‘11 Entering 3rd Season at Lincoln Memorial Bio
Cameron Whicker enters his third season with the Lincoln Memorial University men’s basketball program and second as an assistant coach after the Railsplitters finished the 2012-13 campaign with a 25-6 record that included a South Atlantic Conference regular-season championship and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional. Whicker joined as a full-time assistant prior to the 2011-12 season after spending one season as the graduate assistant coach. In his first season as an assistant, Whicker played a pivotal roll in the Railsplitters’ 26-6 season that included yet another appearance in the NCAA Southeast Regional. In his first year with LMU, Whicker’s role in the program included scouting, film exchange, academics and player development. Whicker looks to continue to build on his success this season, as he embraces his new role and expands his responsibilities in his second season as a full-time member of the coaching staff. “Cam possesses the three things I look for in hiring people: Energy, Intelligence, and Character. He enhanced our staff in a variety of ways last year, and will tackle this expanded role with the focus and commitment necessary to help us get better,” said Head Coach Josh Schertz. A 2011 graduate of High Point University, Whicker earned a degree in Sports Management and served in various capacities with the HPU Men’s Basketball Team which included manager, student assistant coach and video coordinator. In his senior year at HPU, Cameron was a color analyst for the Big South Conference online broadcasts of men’s basketball games. Whicker’s passion for coaching basketball began at an early age when he coached in local recreational leagues and assisted with area AAU teams throughout high school. Whicker also served as a student assistant coach for Hopewell High School which made it to the elite eight in the North Carolina 4-A State Tournament in 2006. Cameron is a native of Huntersville, North Carolina and is a 2007 graduate of Hopewell High School.
