Grant Billmeier is entering his third season on head coach Kevin Willard's staff as Coordinator of Basketball Operations.

This is Billmeier's second tour of duty with the Pirates as he spent four seasons in a Seton Hall uniform before graduating from Seton Hall in 2007.

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.

Billmeier returns to Seton Hall after a brief stint as an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, St. Patrick's and a professional basketball career with stops in Germany and Portugal.
