Prior to that, Cox was an associate head coach at Rhode Island and Rutgers, an assistant coach at Georgetown and a director of operations at Pittsburgh.
Cox, who grew up in Landover, Maryland, has coached high school and AAU basketball in the area.
Cox went 64-55 at Rhode Island, including 15-16 this season.
