Agler was announced as the new athletic director at Wittenberg University. He graduated from the Division III school based in Springfield, Ohio in 1980. He was inducted into Wittenberg’s Hall of Honor in 1995 and the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame in 2014.
His extensive WNBA resume includes winning a championship in 2010 with the Seattle Storm and in 2016 with the Los Angeles Sparks.
I am honored and humbled to be offered the amazing opportunity to return to Wittenberg University, a place that I am so passionate about and that was so influential in my professional career and individual development. I’m also excited to lead the Athletics Department, support the student-athletes and the coaches in any way I can now and moving forward, and partner with President (Michael) Frandsen and the entire University community in further my alma mater’s mission.
