Micka Stout attended and played basketball at Word of Life Bible Institute during the 2018-19 year. He played under Head Coach Justin Cousins and is one of Micka's biggest fans. "Through his year at WOLBI, Micka was a stabilizing presence in our locker room. He is the type of point guard coaches dreams to coach: vocal, studied film, asked questions, led by example. Super proud of what he is accomplishing on staff with the University of Charleston as they continue their push in the NCAA D2 national tournament. But even more proud of the person he is as he leads young men on a daily basis in more than just the game of basketball." - Justin Cousins
The Huskies are very proud of Micka and are rooting for him as his coaching career continues.
