Montana Western Women’s Basketball Announces Wes Knox as Assistant Coach

August 22, 2025
DILLON, Mont. – First year UMW Women's Basketball Coach Ryan Sullivan announced the hiring of assistant coach Wes Knox on Friday.
 
"This hire is special. Not only is Wes an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate coach, but he's also one of my closest friends and former college teammates. We've been through a lot together, as players and as coaches." UMW Head Coach Ryan Sullivan said. "I couldn't be more excited to have him by my side again, this time at the collegiate level. Wes brings a lot of strengths to the table, but in my opinion his greatest strength as a coach is his ability to empathize with athletes and with his colleagues. He obviously brings a depth of knowledge in the game of basketball, but he truly understands the people he works with. He will be an asset to this University and the people he works closely with will be better for their time spent with him."
 
Knox joins Montana Western after two years as assistant girls' basketball coach at Sheridan HS in Sheridan, Wyo., where he coached under Sullivan.
 
Prior to his time at Sheridan, Knox gained a wealth of experience at the AAU and club level.
 
Knox gained collegiate basketball experience as a player for both Montana Western (2013-14) and Montana (2012).
 
The Dillon, Mont., native earned his bachelor's from University of Montana in 2019. A 2012 graduate of Beaverhead County HS in Dillon, Knox was a three-sport athlete in high school, playing basketball, football, and running track.
