Paul Lusk, associate head coach at Purdue University, has been named Missouri State University's 17th men's basketball head coach. The 40-year-old is a native of New Baden, Ill., and spent the last seven seasons as an assistant coach at Purdue. When Cuonzo Martin accepted the Missouri State job in 2008, Lusk was promoted to the Purdue associate head coach position under Matt Painter. In the summer of 2010, he was named by FoxSports.com as one of the nation's top 25 high-major assistant coaches. He has helped guide Purdue to five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a collective 129-45 ledger during that span. He first came to West Lafayette in 2004-05 as an assistant under then-coach Gene Keady and stayed on board at Purdue when Painter took the coaching reigns in 2005-06. A 1995 graduate of Southern Illinois, Lusk and his wife Melanie have a daughter, Madison, and a son, Jackson. The couple both earned their Masters of Science in Education from Missouri State in December 2000.
