Matt Huddleston

Matthew Huddleston joined Blue Star Basketball in 2014 after nearly two decades in womens basketball at various levels, most recently coming from three seasons at Winthrop University.

Before joining Coach Kevin Cook�s staff, Huddleston spent 19 years working with the Georgia Metros Athletic Foundation, one of top AAU programs in the country. He was the Director of Coaching as well as a AAU head coach until arriving at Winthrop. He has since resumed his duties with the Metro organization upon leaving Winthrop.

During his time with the Georgia Metros, Huddleston had the pleasure of coaching such star collegiate players as Maya Moore (Connecticut), Kelley Cain (Tennessee), Morgan Toles (Auburn/Florida State), Jordan Greenleaf (Auburn), Elan Brown (Vanderbilt), Kayla Lewis (Florida) and D�Andra Moss (Virginia Commonwealth). During his tenure Huddleston helped coach 25 AAU All-Americans, 12 NIKE All-Americans, four McDonald�s High School All-Americans, one NCAA National Player of the Year and over 100 players that earned scholarships in college.

As director of coaching, Huddleston was instrumental in the development of several programs that included leadership development, SAT preparation courses, skills camps and an NCAA recruiting course for parents and amateur athletes.

Huddleston, who earned a B.S. in Education from Valdosta State University, once owned and operated a company called Top Prospects Basketball in which he was responsible for the development of a skills training program for women and men pursuing basketball at the collegiate and professional level. He was also responsible for the organization and operation of events catering to the high school basketball community. One of the events he was responsible for organizing was Maya�s Merry Christmas Clinic (a Jordan brand event), for Maya Moore.

Matt resides in Georgia.
