Anthony Stewart
	Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 4th yr Degree: Mount Union College '93

Anthony Stewart is entering his fourth season as an assistant coach at the University of Wyoming and his ninth overall season as a college coach.

As a recruiter at Wyoming, Stewart has focused on recruiting the Midwest and especially his home state of Ohio. Stewart, a native of Akron, Ohio, has kept Ohio basketball in the family and has helped bring three Ohio natives to the Cowboy basketball program. Current Cowboys who hail from Ohio include Daylen Harrison (Akron) and Desmar Jackson (Warren). Jackson was one of only 20 freshmen nationally named to the CollegeInsider.com Freshman All-America Team in 2010. He was named to the MWC's Third Team as a freshman and currently ranks No. 9 on the conference's all-time freshman scoring list.

Stewart has five years of experience as an NCAA Division I coach, serving as an assistant at Long Beach State for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons before joining the Wyoming staff prior to the 2007-08 season. Before returning to coaching, Stewart completed his master's degree in business administration in 2006.

As an assistant coach at Long Beach State, Stewart recruited Aaron Nixon, who was the No. 1 ranked junior college player in the country as ranked by the Sporting News. Nixon went on to earn Big West Conference Player of the Year honors for the 2006-07 season, and was also named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press.

Prior to coaching at Long Beach, Stewart was the top assistant at Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio. While at Columbus State, he helped develop that program into one of the top Division II junior college programs in the country. In his final season as an assistant coach at CSCC, the Cougars posted a 29-2 record, and were ranked No. 1 in the country before losing to eventual national champion Cuyahoga Community College. Stewart recruited three All-Americans and five First Team All-Conference selections while at Columbus State. The Cougars posted an 86-36 (.705) record in his time at CSCC.

A native of Akron, Ohio, Stewart was a two-sport star at Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio. He was twice named Most Valuable Player of the Mount Union basketball team, and concluded his college career ranked on Mount Union's all-time scoring list. Stewart also was a three-year letterman in baseball as a pitcher.

He received his bachelor's degree in business management from Mount Union in 1993, and completed his MBA from the Chancellor University College of Business in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2006.

Stewart and his wife, Cheryl, have two sons, Anthony and Parker, and one daughter, Skylar.

"Anthony is a star," UW head coach Heath Schroyer said. "He has really made his mark on this program over the last three years. He is a great recruiter with outstanding ties in the Midwest, but more importantly his ability to communicate with young people is second to none. I have now known him for almost a decade and he is as loyal as they come, which is hard to find these days."
