University of Mobile hires new men’s basketball head coach from Pepperdine

The University of Mobile has named veteran basketball coach Mike Doig from Pepperdine University as the new men’s head basketball coach. Doig has over three decades of experience at every level of collegiate athletics, including stints at Liberty University, St. Catharine College and Indiana University.

Doig comes to UM after two seasons as assistant basketball coach at Pepperdine University, where he helped lead the Waves to their first WCC Semi-final appearance in four seasons. Prior to joining Pepperdine, he served seven seasons as director of football operations and chief of staff at Indiana University.

‘Talented Coach, Exceptional Leader’

University of Mobile President Charles Smith welcomed Doig to the Baptist university.

“Coach Doig is a talented coach and exceptional leader who shares our vision of an athletic program that not only aims to win on the court but also to build student athletes who understand how to pursue success while growing as Kingdom leaders,” President Smith said.
