Here is a 181-word summary of the news article: Wofford College has announced that they will hire their alumnus Kevin Giltner as the new head coach of the men's basketball team. Giltner will be replacing Dwight Perry, who was recently fired from the position. Giltner has been an assistant coach at Virginia Tech since 2019, working under former Wofford coach Mike Young. Prior to that, Giltner played for Wofford from 2008 to 2012, and was a standout player for the team.
