Richard Grant

Richard Grant was named Assistant Men's Basketball Coach ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Grant joints the Wildcats from Palm Beach State College, where he was the Head Coach from 2019-21. They did not have a 21-22 season. While
there, he mentored two 1st team Academic All- Americans (David Begic & Matthew Allman) and also mentored 12 scholarship level players, 7 moving
to Division One programs.

Grant came to PBSC from Broward College, where he was the top assistant coach under head coach Anthony Anderson. During his tenure, Broward
basketball went 16-12, beating two top-10 nationally ranked teams. The following six Broward players received All-Conference honors under his
supervision: Deandre Pinckney, C.J. Roberts, D’Rell Roberts, Rodney Ray, Jongkor Ajonga and Bralyn James. As the lead recruiter for Broward, Grant
was able to land several NCAA Division I transfers. On the court, he implemented a new defensive system, which led to one of the lowest offensive
scoring margins in NJCAA Region 8.

Before his time at Broward College, Grant served as the director of basketball operations for Wagner College from 2015-2016. His team was the
regular-season champion and earned a bid to the National Invitation Tournament, where they took down number one overall seed St. Bonaventure.
Additionally, he successfully managed a large budget, created scouting reports, and supervised three undergraduate assistants.

Grant also served as the head basketball coach for Team Knight 17U during 2018-19 season. He also spent 2 seasons at New Mexico Military
Institute as an assistant coach, where he was again lauded for his defensive scheme that led to a top-10 defensive ranking and nearly propelled the
team to a playoff spot. While also there, Grant mentored 2021-22 G League Player of the year, Trevelin Queen.
