HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point University men's basketball head Scott Cherry has announced the hiring of Nate Bollinger as the program's director of player development.
 
Bollinger comes to HPU from York College in Pennsylvania, where he served as an assistant coach in 2014 and 2015.
 
"I am very excited to add Nate to our coaching staff," Cherry said. "Everyone I talked to in the interview process raved about his work ethic and ability to get along with people. Nate will be an asset to our program in developing our players as we make a run at a fourth Big South title."
 
At York, Bollinger served as the program's recruiting coordinator while managing camps, operations, player development and serving as the staff's lead opponent scout.
 
Bollinger played his college basketball at Millersville University, where he served as team captain as a senior while leading the Marauders in assists. He earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from the university in 2014.
