Four years removed from his last playing days in a Seton Hall uniform, Grant Billmeier returns to the Pirates as Coordinator of Basketball Operations on head coach Kevin Willard's staff.

A former fan favorite, Billmeier was a stalwart in the Pirates' frontcourt from 2003-07.  The 6-foot-10 center played in 106 career games and helped guide two of his teams to NCAA Tournament appearances.  A knee injury cut his senior season short, but he still managed to amass over 300 career points and 300 career rebounds.

Known for his leadership and tireless work ethic, Billmeier was a two-year team captain and received the Robin Cunningham Award for having the team's best academic ledger.
