Phillip Tucker Cunningham (born October 17, 1966) is an American college basketball coach. He was named head coach at Troy University on March 26, 2013. Previously, he was an assistant coach at Western Kentucky University under Ray Harper for one season. His last head coaching stint was at Sue Bennett College in London, Kentucky from 1992 to 1995, compiling 48 wins during the three seasons that he coached. Cunningham was named the head coach at Troy after coach Don Maestri retired after serving as head coach at Troy for 31 years.
Born in Paducah, Kentucky and a native of Campbellsville, Kentucky, Cunningham played collegiately at Kentucky Wesleyan College. After two seasons playing for the Panthers, where he won a Division II national championship in 1987, Cunningham decided to transfer to Campbellsville College (now known as Campbellsville University) to play for his father.
Cunningham was recently tabbed by Rivals.com as one of the nation's top 25 assistant coaches. He was also previously recognized by The Hoop Scoop recruiting publication as one of the top NCAA Division I men's basketball assistant coaches.
