Graduate Assistant Coach Joe Eatmon

A familiar face will remain on the West Alabama Men's Basketball team as longtime Tiger player, Joe Eatmon, will join Eddie McCarter's staff.

The Tuscaloosa, Ala. native played in 51 games for UWA, during his two year stint, scoring 357 points in his career with the Red and White. Eatmon proved to be a threat from the perimeter for the Tigers, shooting .313 from behind the arc.

Prior to arriving in Livingston, Eatmon played for Head Coach Chris Trawick at Bevill State Community College, where he averaged 12 points per game during his career.

Eatmon, a product of Robey Butler at Tuscaloosa Central (Ala.) High School, helped lead the Falcons to a 95-26 in his four years. He was named Team MVP and West Alabama Player of the Year in 2001 while also garnering All-Area recognition and was nominated for the McDonald's All-American team.

Eatmon is the son of Angie Eatmon and is receiving a Bachelors of Science in Physical Education.
