Prevo became the fifth head women’s basketball coach at Rose-Hulman.  As associate athletic director, Prevo serves as the athletic department compliance officer and chairman of the college’s Athletic Hall of Fame Committee.

Prevo came to Rose-Hulman with Shaw after serving as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Indiana State University during the 1993-94 season.  He previously served as assistant basketball coach at the U.S. Military Academic in West Point, N.Y., from 1991-93 and was an assistant at the University of Evansville from 1989-91.

Prior to his college experience, Prevo served as the head basketball and track coach at Cisne (Ill.) High School from 1987-89, earning league basketball Coach of the Year honors in 1987 and 1988.

Prevo earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Indiana State in 1986 and completed coursework towards a master’s degree in counseling at the University of Evansville in 1990.
