ERIE, Pa. - Gannon assistant men’s basketball coach Ryan Price has resigned to accept an assistant coaching position at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. The Lions will be competing at the NCAA Division II level for the first time in 2009-10.

Price recently completed his second season as a member of the Gannon coaching staff after joining the staff in December 2007. The Golden Knights were 56-9 during his time at Gannon, advancing to the NCAA Division II Tournament both years. The program won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division regular-season title, the PSAC Tournament championship, the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional title, and advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight last season.

Price began his coaching career as a student assistant coach at Henderson State (Ark.) University during the first semester of the 2007-08 season while finishing his General Studies degree.

The Roanoke, Va., native led Henderson State to a 23-9 record, the Gulf South Conference West Division Championship, and the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament as a player in 2006-07. The former guard started 32 games that season, averaging eight points and 3.7 rebounds. He shot 48 percent from the field.

Price originally began his collegiate career at Division I McNeese State (La.), where he played three seasons. He was named McNeese State’s Newcomer of the Year as a freshman and was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year for the Cowboys, a feat accomplished only once in school history by National Basketball Association (NBA) Hall of Famer Joe Dumars. In all, he scored 851 career points in four seasons.

Price played his high school basketball at William Fleming in Roanoke, Virginia, where he earned all-district and all-region accolades. He graduated from Henderson State in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in General Studies. His father, Tic, is currently an assistant coach at Lamar University after previously serving as the head coach at the University of New Orleans, the University of Memphis, and McNeese State.
