Introduced as the Head Men's Basketball Coach on April 27, 2011, Rob Pryor is just the second full-time coach in program history.

The Virginia native returns home for his first collegiate head coaching position after serving for five years as an assistant coach at the Air Force Academy.

Pryor has extensive NCAA Division I coaching experience. In addition to his five years with the Falcons, Pryor was an assistant to University of Iowa coach Fran McCaffery for one year at Siena.

The Saints had a 20-12 record and made an appearance in the championship game of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament during Pryor's one season at the Loudonville, N.Y. school and McCaffery was named the MAAC Coach of the Year.

In 2005-06, under current Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik, Pryor helped USAFA return to the NCAA Tournament as an assistant varsity and head junior varsity coach. The Falcons had their best-ever season that year, finishing 24-7, and led the nation in scoring defense while finishing fourth in 3-point shooting percentage.

This coaching stint came at the end of a three-year period in which Pryor coached at the USAFA Preparatory School as both a volunteer and then the program's head coach. The Prep School was 74-27 in his three years there, including a 31-3 campaign in 2003-04.

His volunteer coaching experience occurred as he was teaching in the behavioral science department at the Academy. In his final season at the Prep School ('04-05), he headed up that program. 

After graduating from the Academy in 1997 with a degree in human behavior, Pryor earned a master's degree in education with an emphasis in counseling in 1998 from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Following his schooling, he began his first Air Force assignment as a contracting officer at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

During his four-year stint at Langley, Pryor earned an M.B.A. degree at the College of William & Mary before returning to the Academy in 2002.

Pryor and his wife, Joy, are the proud parents of three sons, Salem, Seth and Sion.

Assisting Rob Pryor this season will be former SU standout Allen Corbin.

Corbin, who played and coached at West Virginia University, joins the Shenandoah staff after two seasons at Division II Shepherd.

With the Rams, Corbin mentored two WVIAC All-Rookie team members and a CoSIDA Academic All-American.

He was involved in all aspects of the Shepherd program including recruiting, video breakdown and on-the-court coaching.

Prior to his experience at Shepherd, Corbin worked at both James Wood (Va.) and Musselman (W. Va.) high schools as both a middle school and junior varsity head coach.

A 2006 WVU grad, Corbin was a walk-on for the Mountaineers during their Elite 8 season in 2004-05. Following the completion of his playing eligibility, Corbin served as manager/student assistant for the 2005-06 season.

Corbin also played one year of basketball at Penn State - New Kensington and Shenandoah University. He appeared in six games for the Hornets in the 2002-03 season.

He and his wife, Amanda, are the parents of one son, McCabe.

Assisting Rob Pryor on the bench this season as a volunteer is former Longwood All-America Jason Pryor.

Jason Pryor is Rob Pryor's younger brother.

Pryor will assist his elder brother in all aspects of the program but have primary focus on practice and game management.
