Coaching career

Mudge served as a student manager and graduate assistant at Texas under Rick Barnes before landing his first assistant coaching job at Midland College, a NJCAA, where he stayed from 2008 to 2010. [2] He'd join Jason Hooten's staff in 2010, and would stay on through 2023 where he was part of six postseason appearances for the Bearkats.

After Hooten left to accept the head coaching position at New Mexico State, Mudge was promoted to the head coaching position. [3] On April 3, Sam Houston State promoted Mudge to become their next head coach. [4] [5] [6] [7]
