First-year Lincoln men's basketball coach John Moseley announced Thursday the hiring of Edward Wilson as an assistant.
"I'm fortunate to be able to add Ed Wilson to our staff," Moseley said in a statement. "He is very well known in the Kansas City area and throughout the junior college ranks in Missouri and the neighboring states.
"These are areas where we expect to recruit future Blue Tigers. I'm glad that Ed, his wife and his kids have decided to join the Lincoln University family."
Wilson, who began his coaching career as an assistant at Penn Valley Community College in 2008, helped guide the Scouts to four 20-win seasons during his six years on the staff.
Wilson's responsibilities at Penn Valley included pre-game preparations, leading film sessions and designing individual development plans. He also helped coordinate scouting and recruiting for the coaching staff and helped bring prospective student-athletes to the program.
Wilson also played at Penn Valley for two years, where he earned first team all-region honors as a freshman in 2002-03 after leading the Scouts to a 29-6 record and an appearance in the National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship game. Williams was named the regional most valuable player as a sophomore and was inducted into the Scouts' Hall of Fame in 2010.
Following his time at Penn Valley, Williams played two more seasons at Park University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in liberal studies in 2007. Williams was a two-time all-conference selection at Park and led the team in scoring and rebounding during the 2005-06 campaign.
