Ben Edelburg is entering his second season with the Highlanders after the team announced his joining of the team as an assistant coach in June 2024.
"I'm thrilled and honored to join Coach McGuire's staff at Radford University!" commented Edelburg. "Coach McGuire is not only a remarkable coach but also a person of exceptional character who has built a top-tier program here. I'm eager to contribute to Radford's tradition of competitive excellence, academic success, and developing outstanding individuals off the court. GO HIGHLANDERS!"
Edelburg joins the Highlanders after spending last season with the Morehead State women's basketball program where he served as a graduate assistant. Edelburg also has deep and extensive experience with developmental programs in the basketball coaching scene.
"Ben is a great addition to our coaching staff," added McGuire. "Ben will bring extensive experience in teaching and skill development to our women's basketball program. Development is an integral part of the collegiate landscape right now and Ben will bring knowledge, expertise, and a passion for skill development to our program. I love his background with teaching. Ben is also a strong communicator and that will translate well to building relationships with our student athletes, recruits, and coaches across the country. I know our staff and ladies will enjoy working with him immediately."

He also coordinated team travel for all conference games, participated in all recruiting efforts including portal tracking, JUCO, International and high school evaluations while also developing practice plans and skill development sessions.
