Doug Wingard enters his eighth year with the Bald Eagle men’s basketball program as an assistant coach. Wingard is responsible for assisting the program in all aspects of operation, including recruiting, scouting, game plans and monitoring the student-athletes’ academic progress.

Wingard came to The Haven from Susquehanna University where he served as an assistant coach for two years. He helped guide the Crusaders to two winning seasons and a berth in the 1997-98 Mid-Atlantic Conference playoffs. His duties at SU were similar to the ones which he is currently performing.

Prior to his position at Susquehanna, Wingard spent three seasons with Millersville University. He served his first two seasons as a graduate assistant coach before working his final year as a volunteer assistant. While at Millersville, Wingard was involved in preparing scouting reports, assisting in the evaluation of recruits, organization of practice sessions and supervision of student-athlete study hall sessions. He played a significant role in the Marauders' success during that three-year span, which included two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division titles (1992-93, '94-95), a PSAC tournament championship (1992-93) and three appearances in the NCAA Division II East Region playoffs. In 1994-95, the Marauders finished the regular season ranked No. 4 in the NCAA II poll.

In addition, Wingard has worked as an instructor at various camps and clinics throughout the region. Among his experiences are stops at Division I schools such as Pennsylvania State University, University of Maryland, Rutgers University and Rider University.

Wingard earned his bachelor of arts degree in geography at Millersville University in 1991. He has since completed his course requirements for a master's degree in history at MU. In 2003, he earned a master of Curriculum, Education and Instruction from Lock Haven.
