Raheem Waller joined the Georgia State program as an assistant coach in June 2010.
Waller came to Georgia State after one season at Florida A&M, where he was an assistant to Eugene Harris, a former GSU assistant coach.
He also served two seasons (2007-09) on Cliff Ellis' staff at Coastal Carolina, as well as two years under Horace Broadnax at Savannah State. Waller began his coaching career with a one-year stint at Elizabeth City State University (2004-05).
"Raheem Waller is an excellent addition to our coaching staff and our program," said Georgia State head coach Rod Barnes, who enters his fourth season at Georgia State. "First of all, he is an Atlanta native who has strong ties not only to the city, but around the state of Georgia and in Florida.
"In addition to his recruiting abilities, his strength as a coach is working with big men, which is extremely important with the talented young post players we now have in our program."
Waller enjoyed a three-year professional career, playing in the International Basketball League and United States Basketball League as well as internationally in Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.
A standout and team captain at South Carolina State University, Waller earned all-conference and all-tournament honors while leading the Bulldogs to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 1996 and 1998. He earned his bachelor's degree in industrial technology from South Carolina State in 1999.
Waller is married to the former Dominique Hemphill.
