Murray State basketball coach Steve Prohm is losing one of his assistant coaches. Matt McMahon is leaving the Racers program to become an associate head coach at Louisiana Tech.

McMahon has spent the last four years as an assistant coach at MSU, helping lead the Racers to a 104-29 record, two Ohio Valley Conference regular season titles and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2012.

In his first season with the Racers in 2011-12, McMahon was part of an amazing campaign that saw MSU go 31-2 and spend 13 weeks in the national polls and rising as high No. 10. MSU was the only undefeated NCAA D-I road team and was the final undefeated team at 23-0. The Racers enjoyed their highest seed in the NCAA Tournament (No. 6) and won the third game in the history of the program with a win over Colorado State. The Racers set a school and Ohio Valley Conference record with 31 wins.

McMahon came to Murray State after spending the 2010-11 season with Coach Buzz Peterson at UNC-Wilmington.
