Donlon, 49, will take over a team that finished 10-21 overall this season and 4-14 in the Mid-American Conference.
He previously posted a 109-94 record as head coach at Wright State from 2010-16 before serving as an assistant under John Beilein at Michigan and Chris Collins at Northwestern. He then became the head coach at Kansas City in 2019, earning a 49-39 mark in three seasons.
Donlon joined the staff of Brad Brownell at Clemson before the 2022 season.
Heath, a Detroit native, posted a 57-99 record during his time with his alma mater.
