Bio

Bulldog alum Raymoan McAfee became FSU's full-time assistant coach prior to the 2018-19 season and helped Ferris State post its sixth-straight 20-plus victory campaign in 2019-20. The 2021-22 season will represent his fpurth year as the top assistant on head coach Andy Bronkema's staff and he was recently promoted to Associate Head Coach in October 2021.

McAfee has distinguished himself as one of the league's top assistant coaches and is in his fourth year as the Bulldogs' top assistant. McAfee played at FSU from 2012-14 and later served as a member of the coaching staff for three years prior to returning to Ferris State as the school's top assistant in 2018. He assists in all facets of the program, including day-to-day operations, recruiting, skill development, on-floor coaching, video and analytics and more. 

A Bulldog alum, McAfee was appointed to a full-time role after spending the 2017-18 campaign in a similar position at Indiana Tech University. His return as Bronkema's top assistant filled the void created by the departure of former assistant coach Jim Lake, who was tabbed as the head coach at Wisconsin-Stout.

During his previous stint on the Ferris State staff, McAfee assisted in all facets of the program, including day-to-day operations, video, analytics, fundraising, recruiting, individual skill development, position work, on-floor coaching and player communication. He spent a year coaching as the top assistant at Indiana Tech under first-year head coach and former Cornerstone University assistant coach Ted Albert.

In his lone season at Indiana Tech, McAfee helped lead the Warriors to a 27-7 overall mark and a 17-3 conference season, which included a trip to the second round of the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Championship Tournament. The Warriors finished as the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) runner-up and were ranked as high as third in the NAIA Division II Coaches' Top 25 poll.

A former prep standout at Detroit's Pershing High School under head coach A.W. Canada, McAfee was a member of the school's 2009 Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) State Championship team and part of a group that claimed back-to-back city championships in 2009 and 2010.

He began his collegiate career at NCAA Division I Bethune Cookman University for two seasons before transferring to Ferris State in 2012 where he became a regular in the Bulldog lineup. In his two seasons on the floor with the Bulldogs, McAfee ranked among the GLIAC's top five players overall in blocked shots both campaigns.

The Bulldog alum graduated from Ferris State in 2014 with a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Speech Communication. He is currently working on a Master's Degree in Education.

During the 2016-17 campaign, with McAfee on the FSU staff, Ferris State set a then school record by winning 28 games, which represented the most wins in nearly 90 seasons of Bulldog Basketball. FSU also won the GLIAC Regular-Season and Tournament Championships in the same year for the first time in school history before duplicating the feat again the following year.

As an assistant on the Bulldog staff from 2014-17, McAfee helped FSU make three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, claim three consecutive GLIAC Tournament Championships, twice reach the NCAA Midwest Region semifinals, claim a league regular-season title and also reach the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen. The Bulldogs also were ranked in the top 25 nationally each of his three years on staff and twice led the nation in blocked shots.
