Seton Hall basketball hires Donald Copeland as assistant coach

Seton Hall University announced the return of Donald Copeland as an assistant coach on September 15, 2026. Copeland, a former All-Big East guard with previous experience at Wagner, fills the opening left by Corey Lowery. His appointment is viewed as beneficial for both Copeland, who previously faced suspension at Wagner, and head coach Shaheen Holloway, who values his background in defense and physical play. The hiring follows a contentious moment between Copeland and Holloway during a prior game, which both coaches have since publicly reconciled. The Seton Hall administration reportedly supports Copeland, viewing him as a good fit for the program's culture and goals.
