It s a cut above most of the programs out there. Before joining the California (Pa.) staff, Wright was employed as an assistant coach at Erskine (S.C.) College. In addition to his coaching duties at Erskine, Wright was also the PRIME Project Director and Male Minority Counselor at Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, S.C.
