2017, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 Orange Empire Conference Coach of the Year - 2024 State Southern Coach of the Year - 2017 and 2019 State Co-Coach of the Year

In April of 2015, Perry Webster was named the 15th head coach in the illustrious history of the Fullerton College Men’s Basketball program and the second youngest to take over the helm at age 26. As he heads into his 9th season of competition leading the Hornets, Webster has coached his way into the conversation as one of the best junior college coaches in the state.

The proof is in the numbers. Webster has complied a 205-41 overall record (.833 winning percentage) and led FC to 4 State Championship Tournament appearances (2017, 2019, 2023, and 2024), winning it all in the 2019 and 2023 seasons. Under Webster’s guidance, the Hornets have turned in 9 twenty-win seasons, 1 30-win season, 5 Orange Empire Conference titles (2017, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024) and 8 trips to the Southern California Regionals (all of Webster's seasons as head coach).

All that success has earned Webster 4 Orange Empire Conference Coach of the Year honors, two 3C2A Southern California Coach of the Year nods, and was named the 3C2A State Co-Coach of the Year in 2019. Webster repeated as a state champion leading the Hornets to another title in 2023, while pushing the team to a 32-1 record- the second-best record in school history. In 2024, the Hornets went into the 3C2A State Tournament as the No. 1 seed from the south and made it to the semifinal game finishing as a top 4 team. 

Webster has moved 39 Hornets on to four-year institutions, including 14 players who have earned Division I scholarships. Webster has produced 36 All-Conference players, including 4 League MVP’s and Southern California Players’ of the Year - Ian Fox (2016-17) who went on to Cal State Fullerton, Lance Coleman II (2018-19) who went to Cal State Northridge, and Sean Newman Jr., who signed with Louisiana Tech.

Webster’s championship ties aren’t solely at the head coaching level, in fact, Webster is the only person in California Community College history to win state championships in three different roles - head coach, assistant coach and player.

In 2010, Perry was the point guard and State Tournament MVP on Saddleback College’s State Championship team. Webster again helped Saddleback to a championship in 2015 as an assistant coach under Andy Ground and cemented his place in history in 2019 after leading Fullerton College to a State Title as head coach.

Webster has deep ties to the Orange County area. He grew up playing youth basketball in the area, and, ironically, he won two National Junior Basketball championships in the very same gym he now coaches in. Perry put together an impressive high school career at Mission Viejo where he was a four-year starter, CIF Southern Section champion as a freshman, four-year All-League selection, three-year All-CIF performer, three-time Diablos team MVP, First-Team All-Orange County selection, and South County Player of the Year. Webster’s jersey was retired at Mission Viejo in 2007.

After high school, Webster continued his playing career at Saddleback College where he led the Gauchos to a 2010 State Championship, earning First-Team All-Conference, First-Team All-State and State Tournament MVP honors. Perry was inducted into the Saddleback Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012. 

Webster continued his basketball career on scholarship at Cal State Fullerton where he was named Titans’ team captain, led the Big West Conference in assists, was Top 30 in the country in assist-to-turnover ratio, and earned the “Titan Hustle Award” chosen by the program Booster Club.

Webster earned his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from CSUF and then received his master’s degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration at Concordia University, Irvine.

Webster’s collegiate coaching career started where his playing career began at Saddleback College. Perry was under the tutelage of Andy Ground for three seasons, helping the Gauchos to the 2015 State Championship, three Conference Championships and helped recruit and produce 14 All-Conference Players, including two Conference Players of the Year, Eric Thompson and Connor Clifford.
