Head coach Shay Hayes stated, “Coach Bagwell's energy and passion for the game fits the program's goals and our theme: Pursuit of Excellence. He will be a great role model and mentor for the players. Coach Bagwell's experience as a recruiting coordinator, academic coach, and as an on floor assistant coach will make him an asset to our program. I am excited about our team and future together."

At Mars Hill, while fostering a culture that emphasized growth both on and off the court, Bagwell coached the South Atlantic Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year (2014). Bagwell helped the Lions to two Second Team All-Conference Selections (2013,2014) and one All-SAC Freshman Team Selection (2013).

While at Mount Olive, Bagwell was the recruiting coordinator and was responsible for skill development for both guards and post players. Bagwell coached two second-team All-Region selections (2009, 2011), the Conference Carolinas’ Player of the Year (2010-2011), and seven all-conference selections.
