Introducing: Coach Bill Eddins!

Calling on his experience as a middle school teacher and high school coach for over 30 years, Bill Eddins now works with college-age student-athletes at Malone University in Canton, OH. A Canton native, and the son of well-known local basketball coaching legend, Don Eddins, Bill grew up in a sports minded community, and quickly joined the family business as a coach himself. He served as nearby Louisville High School’s head boys basketball coach from 1993-2001, collecting Division II Ohio Boys Basketball Coach of the Year honors in 2001 after leading the Leopards to their first undefeated regular season in school history. He taught middle schoolers for over 30 years, encouraging hearts and shaping lives with both challenge and support.

He most recently joined the Malone University Athletic staff, and now coaches the Women’s Golf team, he also serves as an assistant administrator in the department mentoring and encouraging student-leaders throughout the University. Experiencing difficulties in his family, including the divorce of his parents, as well as witnessing a good friends death have shaped Coach Eddins outlook on life, excellence and relationships.
