A New Era for Elon Men’s Basketball: Darius Stokes Joins the Coaching Staff

As the Elon University men’s basketball team gears up for a new season, they’ve made a significant addition to their coaching staff. Darius Stokes, a seasoned coach with a wealth of experience, has joined the team as an assistant coach. This move is expected to bring a fresh perspective and a new level of expertise to the program.

Elon University’s men’s basketball team is looking to make a statement this season.

Stokes comes to Elon after spending last season as an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy, West Point. His impressive resume also includes stints as the Director of Program Development for the University of Richmond men’s basketball program and as an assistant coach at Fairleigh Dickinson. With multiple NCAA tournament appearances under his belt, Stokes is poised to bring a level of success to the Elon program.

“I am excited to be reunited with Darius, this time as a member of our coaching staff at Elon University,” said head coach Billy Taylor. “His experience playing for us at the University of Iowa in a similar system will help him lead our guys on the court. He also exemplifies the high-character and a high-level work ethic that will aid in the development of our student athletes off the court.”
