Just over a month after resigning from his job as NCAA Division III Centenary\u2019s men\u2019s basketball coach, Chris Dorsey<\/a> has landed at Division I Grambling State as associate head coach for coach Patrick Crarey.<\/p>\n

Dorsey had lots of success during his eight years as the Gents\u2019 boss, but his last team was 6-19 overall and 4-12 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. He surpassed 100 career wins (108-91) and led the Gents to their first conference championship in over 40 years in 2020, then captured a second SCAC title in 2024, making him the only coach in program history with multiple championships. He was 69-53 in the league and his teams earned NCAA DIII Tournament bids in both title seasons and reached five consecutive SCAC Final Fours.<\/p>\n

“Coach Dorsey is one of the best basketball minds in all of college basketball,” Crarey said in a release. “His ability to teach players and coaches is unmatched. For the last eight years he has been a championship-winning collegiate head coach in the state of Louisiana; he will help us with recruiting and relationships in our home state. We are very excited to welcome coach Dorsey and his family to Grambling.”<\/p>\n
