  Trey Zeigler is in his third year at Creighton. He started as a graduate assistant in 2022-23 before returning as an assistant coach last year.
  CU went 25-11 a year ago in Zeigler’s return to Omaha, helping Creighton tie a school-record with 15 league wins and advance to the title game of the BIG EAST Tournament.
  Zeigler spent the 2022-23 campaign as a graduate manager with the Bluejays, during which time CU won 24 games and reached the Elite Eight. He played an integral part of player development of All-BIG EAST players Ryan Kalkbrenner, Baylor Scheierman and Trey Alexander. CU spent nine weeks in the AP poll, climbing to as high as No. 7. While at Creighton he earned his master’s degree in Organizational Leadership.
  When Alan Huss was hired as head coach at High Point in 2023, Zeigler joined the Panther staff as an assistant coach. HPU went from 14-17 to 27-9 in Zeigler’s lone year in North Carolina, winning the Big South regular-season title and advancing to the title game of the College Basketball Invitational. The Panthers jumped from 299 to 114 in the final KenPom rankings, the nation’s second-best improvement. High Point’s 27 victories were tied for 15th-most nationally and the most for the Panthers since 1978-79.
  Zeigler is a TCU graduate, having earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies with an emphasis on Communication in 2015. He played two years at Central Michigan for his father, Ernie Zeigler. Trey then went on to play one year at Pittsburgh before transferring to TCU where he averaged 10.1 points per game.

  Before diving into college coaching, Zeigler played professionally for seven years in nine different countries from 2015-22.
  He was named to four different Eurobasket.com all-league teams during his professional career. In the 2020-21 season, Zeigler was the only player in Europe to average over 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists per game.
  A 2010 graduate of Mount Pleasant High School in Mount Pleasant, Mich., Zeigler scored 1,644 points and grabbed 648 rebounds in his prep career.Â
  He averaged 24.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game as a senior, finished second in the Michigan “Mr. Basketball” voting and was named Third Team All-American by MaxPreps. Coming out of high school, Zeigler was a consensus top 30 player.
