Matt McKillop, Assistant Coach

Matt McKillop joined the Emory men's basketball program as assistant coach in May
of 2007.

Matt enjoyed a standout career as a member of the Davidson College basketball program, earning four varsity letters (2003-2006) and starting 98 of 117 career contests.  McKillop helped the Wildcats to three Southern Conference South Division crowns and a SoCon Tournament championship in 2005-06.  McKillop, who served as team captain as a senior, was a member of the Davidson team that competed in the 2006 NCAA Tournament and 2005 NIT.  Career-wise, he averaged 8.1 points per game and knocked down a total of 223 three-point field goal, connecting on 39.3 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

Following his Davidson career, McKillop traveled overseas where he played for the USK Praha Basketball Club in the Czech Republic.

“Matt’s experience and success as a student-athlete at an elite academic institution will be a great asset for Emory basketball,” said Zimmerman.  “The work ethic and determination that has made Matt successful will make him a great teacher. He is a great addition to the Emory community.” 

McKillop, the son of Davidson Head Basketball Coach Bob McKillop, earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 2006.
