Keenan Coley threw all of his basketball gear into the closet and slammed the door shut. He couldn't stand the sight of it. The 19-year-old had just returned from California, where his college basketball career at Warren Wilson College ended on a court in Santa Cruz. His final play was fitting: a contested shot and another injury. The injury served as yet another reminder that his desire to continue in the sport he’d loved since he was five far exceeded what his body could endure.

"I was like, it'll be forever if you're waiting for me to coach," Coley told his mother, who suggested he might find his way back to basketball someday. "It's never going to happen."

The West Virginia University College of Applied Human Sciences has announced that its Coaching and Performance Science undergraduate program has received accreditation from the Council on Accreditation of Strength and Conditioning Education.

The formal announcement was made in July at the annual National Strength and Conditioning Association conference in Kansas City, Mo.
