Senque Carey Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 4th Year Alma Mater: New Mexico, '04

Senque Carey is in his fourth year as an assistant coach at Fresno State.

As a premier recruiter, Carey will serve as the top recruiter on the staff with significant on-court coaching responsibilities during the season.

Throughout his three seasons at Fresno State, Carey has helped build the foundation for the future of Bulldogs' program with strong recruiting classes. The Bulldogs returned to the postseason in his second year, which included a roster full of Carey-led recruits, including 2007 Second Round NBA pick Dominic McGuire.

Carey came to Fresno State in 2005 after serving as an assistant coach under Heath Schroyer at Portland State. Prior to Portland State, Carey was an undergraduate assistant coach at New Mexico.

Carey played collegiately for both the University of Washington and New Mexico. In 2001-02, he started 20 games for the Lobos and was considered one of the team's best point guards. However, toward the beginning of the 2002-03 season, his career came to an abrupt halt when he suffered a spinal cord injury against Northwestern State that left him temporarily paralyzed for two weeks.

A native of East Palo Alto, Calif., Carey graduated from New Mexico in 2004. Carey and his wife Nadia reside in Fresno and welcomed their first daughter, Indira, in the summer of 2008.
