Colton Everett

  • Title
    Assistant Coach

Everett returns to the Charleston Southern University men's basketball staff as an assistant coach after spending the 2021-26 seasons as an assistant coach at both Ohio Dominican University and Malone University.

At Ohio Dominican, Everett helped guide the Panthers to one of the most successful stretches in program history, including 19 wins during the 2025-26 campaign — the most regular season victories in school history. An impressive turnaround for a Ohio Dominican program that went 10-18 just the year before (2024-25). He played a key role in all facets of the program's success, including offensive strategizing, opponent scouting, game preparation, fundraising efforts, and student-athlete support services.

Prior to his time at Ohio Dominican, Everett spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Malone University, where he helped lead the Pioneers to back-to-back 18-win seasons, including a runner-up finish in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament.

While at Malone, Everett dealt with offensive strategizing, coordinated individual skill development sessions, assisted with practice planning, prepared opponent scouting reports, and oversaw team travel and budget operations.

Everett is no stranger to CSU and the Lowcountry, having previously spent four seasons with the Buccaneers from 2017-21 as Director of Basketball Operations and Interim Assistant Coach after serving as the program's Video Coordinator during the 2016-17 season.

During his previous tenure with the Bucs, Everett was part of the staff that helped deliver the first postseason victory in program history.

In addition to his operational leadership, Everett coordinated and marketed Charleston Southern's summer camp program, negotiated sponsorship agreements for camp and team meal initiatives, and directed the program's community outreach efforts. He also served as Interim Assistant Coach during the summer of 2019.

Everett began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Hawaii Pacific University from 2014-16, where he contributed to three Top 25 victories during his tenure. 

A native of Ohio, Everett has more than a decade of collegiate coaching experience spanning recruiting, player development, operations, budgeting, and program administration at both the Division I and Division II levels.

He earned his bachelor's degree in Sports and Leisure Studies from The Ohio State University in 2013 before completing his master's degree in Elementary Education from Hawaii Pacific University in 2016.
