Wagner removed the interim tag and officially hired Dwan McMillan as its men's basketball coach on Monday.
McMillan, 36, coached the Seahawks in 2025-26 after the school suspended coach Donald Copeland amid player allegations about abusive behavior in practices.
Despite a 1-6 start to the season and a seven-game losing streak in conference play, Wagner finished 14-17 overall and 8-10 in the Northeast Conference.
'Dwan has demonstrated steady leadership, integrity, and a clear commitment to our student-athletes during this transition,' school president Jeffrey Doggett said in a release. 'He understands what makes Wagner special and is well-positioned to lead this program forward with purpose and pride.'
McMillan joined Wagner as an assistant coach in 2024 after working as the recruiting coordinator at Fordham from 2022-24.
'I am honored to serve as head coach at Wagner College,' McMillan said. 'This program has a strong foundation, and I am committed to supporting our student-athletes, strengthening our culture, and competing at the highest level. I look forward to building on what has been established and leading this team into its next chapter.'
Wagner, located on Staten Island, N.Y., has been a coaching stop for current UConn coach Dan Hurley (2010-12) and former Seton Hall and NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo (1976-82).
