Carter Collins begins the 2021-22 season in his fifth year as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Anderson University and his third year as Anderson’s top men’s basketball assistant. He also enters his first season as the head men’s golf coach.

"I'm pleased to announce Carter Collins has been named to the dual role position of head men's golf coach / assistant men's basketball coach," athletic director Marcie Taylor said. "Over the past four years as a member of the men's basketball staff, Collins has demonstrated he's a strong recruiter, relational yet committed to student-athlete accountability and possesses strong organizational skills.  As Coach Collins applies these skills and attributes to the men's golf program I have full confidence that growth of the roster and competitiveness of the program will occur.  Collins played on his high school golf team as a senior, so he has familiarity with competitive golf."

During Collins's time as a men's basketball assistant coach, the Ravens put together a 48-46 record and qualified for the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) Tournament in each of the four seasons.

Collins spent the three years prior to AU as a student assistant coach at Hope, assisting with both the varsity and junior varsity teams. During his four years at Hope, the Dutchmen won three conference championships, and participated in the NCAA Tournament in those three seasons, including a run to the Sweet Sixteen in 2017.

Prior to coaching, Collins spent his freshman year at Hope playing on the junior varsity team, continuing a playing career that began in Fowlerville High School in Fowlerville, Mich., where he was an all-conference and all-county selection and two-time captain for the Gladiators. Collins also competed in golf during his prep career at Fowlerville.

Collins earned a Master's of Business Administration degree at Anderson. He received a bachelor's degree with a double major in Psychology and Communication at Hope College.
