NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State men's basketball head coach Robert Jones continues to strengthen one of the top coaching groups in mid-major basketball, adding Corey Coffer as an assistant coach.

Coffer comes to Norfolk State from Bryant & Stratton Community College, helping lead the Bobcats to a 20-10 overall record with a 12-6 mark in conference play. Coffer developed three players to all-conference recognitions during the 2024-25 season, including first-team all-region honoree Kimoni Small.
 
Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Coffer spent eight years as the head coach of Princess Anne High School. He led Princess Anne to a 94-74 record over eight years with the program, taking the Cavaliers to the state tournament for the first time since 1999 in 2022-23 – earing Region 5A Coach of the Year accolades in the process.
 
Coffer coached many players to all-conference accolades at Princess Anne. Will Bland was named the Beach District Defensive Player of the Year in 2023, while Styles Clemmons was named to the All-District First Team.
 
Coffer also enjoyed local high school coaching stints at Green Run, Wilson, Deep Creek, and Hoke.
