Former Spartan Kevin Oleksiak begins his third season on staff at his alma mater in 2011-12.

He  returned to the university to serve as the program’s Director of Men’s Basketball Operations during the 2009-10 season before moving to a coaching position prior to the start of the 2010-11 campaign.

Named to the staff August 4, 2009, Oleksiak played part of the 2008-09 season in France before returning to the United States. He sat in on some of the team’s practices and games as a volunteer in the latter part of the season.

A native of Abington, Pa., Oleksiak scored 1,015 points in his UNCG career, ranking No. 15 all-time on the Spartan career scoring list. He is in the top 10 in steals, three-point attempts, three-pointers made, and free throw percentage. When he graduated, his 119 games played were tied for the most in school history. He still holds the single-game school record for three-pointers with nine and steals with seven.

Oleksiak graduated from UNCG in 2008 with a degree in recreation, parks and tourism.
