"Being a Big Eight fan growing up, this really is a full circle moment in many ways for me, being from right down the road in Kansas City. I have been fortunate enough to work with and be around several past K-State players like Tim Jankovich and Lon Kruger, so I know what those guys mean to the Wildcat family. I'm really, really excited to be part of this, and hopefully many, many more good years to come. I know we are working hard to put a product on the floor that everyone will be proud of and really, really excited to watch."

Cooper's 2011-12 team earned national recognition with a win over No. 7 Murray State before narrowly missing a berth in NCAA Tournament with a 54-52 loss to the Racers in the OVC Championship. The Tigers lost to Mercer in the CIT First Round.
Cooper became head coach at Miami in April 2012 following the retirement of Charlie Coles, winning 59 games in five seasons (2012-17). His defense-first philosophy saw the RedHawks rank among the nation's top 50 in steals in four of his five seasons. He coached five All-MAC selections, including 2017 MAC Freshman of the Year Michael Weathers.

He fits perfectly with the blue-collar mantra of the K-State community, and I can't wait to be a part of this program."
Cunningham spent the last two seasons (2024-26) at Louisiana-Monroe (ULM), including the 2025-26 season as head coach. His ULM team lost at K-State, 94-85, on Dec. 28.
