Craig Snow is entering his first year as New Mexico Highlands' Director of Athletics after spending the previous five as the NMHU men's basketball coach - the last two serving a dual role as interim director of athletics.

Snow served as NMHU's interim director of athletics since September of 2017 while also coaching the Cowboys – just finishing his fifth season and leading the team to a program-record 22 wins, the Cowboys' first RMAC Tournament title and second NCAA Tournament appearance. Snow coached the Cowboys to 14 RMAC wins twice - tied for the second-most wins in a single season in program history.

Snow as an athletic director has already made an impact as the student-athlete population has increased by 17 percent and he was the driving force in a deal with Albuquerque's ProView Network to have NMHU football and men's and women's basketball games broadcast in the Albuquerque.

During Snow's time as a coach at NMHU, he's coached six All-RMAC players, three all-region players and has recruited well both in-state (nine of the 17 players on the Cowboy roster during the 2018-19 season were from New Mexico) and internationally (three of his rotation players from his final season were from outside the United States). The Cowboys in 2018-19 finished the season ranked 14th in the country in scoring (87.2 points per game) and 18th in 3-pointers made.

Prior to his arrival in Las Vegas, Snow spent three seasons on The University of New Mexico men’s basketball staff. In 2013-14 as an assistant coach, Snow helped guide the Lobos to a 27-7 record, a Mountain West Conference (MWC) Tournament Championship and a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. New Mexico was ranked as high as 17th nationally in 2013-14.
 
In his three seasons in Albuquerque, the Lobos went a combined 84-20 with three Mountain West Tournament Titles and three appearances in the NCAA Tournament. After spending his final season with the Lobos as an assistant coach, Snow was the director of basketball operations in 2012-13 after serving as the video administrator in 2011-12.

A four-year collegiate player for the University of Evansville, Snow ended his career with 1,530 points (10th all-time) and is 10th on the school’s all-time list for 3-pointers made with 176. He hit 39.2 percent of his shots from beyond the arc and 76.4 percent from the charity stripe. In four years with the Aces, Snow averaged 12.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He was a captain his junior and senior seasons and named All-Missouri Valley Conference in both 1999-2000 and 2000-01 while also making the All-Tournament MVC Team in 1999. Snow started every game for the Purple Aces in 1999 when they finished as the regular-season MVC Champions.

After receiving his bachelor of science degree in physical education from Evansville in 2001, he went on to play professionally overseas in both Luxembourg and Austria. While in Luxembourg in 2001-02, he averaged more than 30 points per game and was voted to the all-star team.

After his stint overseas, Snow made his way to the Land of Enchantment for the first time to be the head boys’ basketball coach at Bosque in Albuquerque from 2004-11, also serving as athletic director from 2005-11. At Bosque, Snow led the Bobcats to a 125-69 record, five state tournament appearances, three district championships and a state semifinal appearance.

Snow is married to Dr. Jessica Snow – who received her Ph. D. from the University of New Mexico in 2009 – and they have two children: Adelynn and Beckett.
