KALAMAZOO, Mich. – New Western Michigan head men's basketball coach Kahil Fennell has announced his staff for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Fennell is bringing assistant coaches Dustin Yoder, Cam Clark, Michael Provenzano and director of basketball operations Adam Howard from his staff at UTRGV to Kalamazoo, as well as welcoming in Bobby Horodyski from Queens University, who previously worked with Fennell at BYU.
 
"I'm excited to introduce our coaching staff for our first season at Western Michigan," coach Fennell said. "It's a group of incredibly talented coaches who were instrumental in the development of our individual players as well as our historic team success. The returning group is joined by another champion coach in Bobby Horodyski, and he only adds to the elite standards of our staff. This is a group of loyal, passionate teachers and I am proud to have them represent WMU basketball."
 
Yoder served as an assistant coach under Fennell during both of his seasons at UTRGV. Prior to his time with the Vaqueros, Yoder was an assistant coach/offensive coordinator for two seasons at UC Riverside, helping the program to a combined 38 wins, including a 22-win campaign in 2022-23 which was the Highlanders' best year at the Division I level. UC Riverside won back-to-back Big West Freshman of the Year awards under his tutelage and he was named one of Silver Waves Media's 75 Rising Stars Impactful Men's Mid-Major Assistants both years.
 
Before his time in Riverside, Yoder spent two seasons at Southeast Missouri State, helping the Redhawks collect 25 wins. He also served as the associate head coach at Cal State San Bernardino for a pair of seasons, helping the team pick up 36 victories, including a 21-win campaign in 2019-20.
