Former St. Cloud State University basketball player, Mahmoud Abdelfattah, is returning to the team; this time as an assistant coach. Abdelfattah played for the Huskies during the 2009-2011 seasons. That includes the season that SCSU advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight (2010). His coaching experience includes a stint as a varsity assistant and sophomore head coach at Perspective Charter School in Chicago, Ill. Abdelfattah also coaches the 17-U AAU team, a position he has held since 2009.

Abdelfattah takes the place of Brett Putz who accepted an assistant coaching job at Wayne State College earlier this summer.
