The 2019-2020 college basketball season is slated to be Ryan Parshall’s first as Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Columbia-Greene Community College.
Parshall, of Albany, N.Y., was named C-GCC’s new men’s basketball coach this week, and brings with him extensive coaching experience, including stints with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), North American Premier Basketball (NAPB), and the American Basketball Association (ABA).
Parshall has served as Head Men’s Basketball Coach for the Middleburgh Magic, an AAU team for players age 17 and under; Assistant Men’s Basketball and Play-by-Play Announcer for the Albany Patroons, part of the NAPB league; Team Manager and Video Coordinator for Siena College Men’s Basketball in Loudonville, N.Y., and, most recently, Head Basketball Coach for the Marietta Mustangs, an ABA team based in Marietta, Ga. – a position that included coast-to-coast recruiting and team creation.
C-GCC Athletic Director Nick Dyer said he is hopeful that Parshall’s expertise in recruiting, play-making, and player growth will lead to a strong 2019-2020 season for C-GCC’s men’s basketball team – the Twins – which compete as part of Region III of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the Mountain Valley Collegiate Conference.
“Ryan has a proven ability to win at a high-level of competition as an enthusiastic, collaborative leader,” he said, “and perhaps more importantly, to create and manage teams from the ground-up, resulting in better players overall.
“That has always been part of the C-GCC athletic philosophy, and exactly what this year’s team needs to excel at the collegiate level.”
Parshall holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Siena College and a certificate in Television and Radio Broadcasting from New School Center for Media in Albany. For more information, please visit CGCCTwins.com.
