He previously held a head coaching role at Arkansas-Monticello (2019-20), where he led the team to a 20-11 record and the program's best start since 1977. The Boll Weevils reached 20 wins for the first time in over a decade with Long at the helm.
From 2015-2019, Long was the associate head coach at the University of Central Arkansas, helping the Bears compile a 91-37 record and capture four Southland Conference Tournament titles. The program also recorded three 25-win seasons and advanced to the WBI Championship game in 2018.
Long began his collegiate coaching career at Delta State (2010-12), where he helped the Lady Statesmen to a 50-11 record, two conference titles and consecutive NCAA Division II Tournament appearances. The 2010-11 team spent seven weeks ranked No. 1 nationally and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament that season.
Long, a Delta State alumnus, and his wife, Jill, have two children, Aubree and Clay.
