Coach Earp will be entering his 27th season as an assistant coach for the Lakers. He has been on the sidelines assisting the last five Laker head coaches. Earp’s responsibilities include recruiting, academic monitoring, fundraising, scouting, team travel, scheduling, practice and game preparation. Coach Earp worked for over 15 years as the camp director of the top junior college player camp in the United States, the Mullen's Top 100 event that was annually held in Wichita, Kansas.

His recruitment of community college athletes is legendary and second-to-none in community college basketball, with countless numbers of players moving on to play Division I or II basketball after graduating from Lake Land College.

His connections with the Lake Land College district and the Indianapolis, New York and Louisville area have made him one of the most successful community college recruiters in the past two decade.

Coach Earp is a Mattoon native and continues to live there.
