Phillip Tucker Cunningham (born October 17, 1966) is an American college basketball coach.[1]
Cunningham was the head coach of Troy University from 2013 to 2019, compiling 80 wins throughout his six-year tenure. During his time with Troy, Cunningham led the school to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 14 years after winning the 2017 Sun Belt Conference tournament championship. Cunningham was named the head coach at Troy after coach Don Maestri retired after serving as head coach at Troy for 31 years.
Born in Paducah, Kentucky and a native of Campbellsville, Kentucky, Cunningham played collegiately at Kentucky Wesleyan College. After two seasons playing for the Panthers, where he won a Division II national championship in 1987, Cunningham decided to transfer to Campbellsville College (now known as Campbellsville University) to play for his father.
Cunningham was recently tabbed by Rivals.com as one of the nation's top 25 assistant coaches.[2] He was also previously recognized by The Hoop Scoop recruiting publication as one of the top NCAA Division I men's basketball assistant coaches.[3]
