Just hours after promoting Gerry McNamara to Associate Head Coach, Syracuse Athletics announced Wednesday afternoon that assistant coach Allen Griffin will remain in his position for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team this season.
Griffin, who was hired as an assistant in April 2017, will serve as an assistant for new Syracuse head coach Adrian Autry. Prior to joining the Orange, he served 15 years as an assistant for St. Francis (NY), Providence, Hofstra, and Dayton. Griffin mainly focuses on developing the Orange’s big men and post players, which has included Jesse Edwards, Paschal Chukwu, and Bourama Sidibe.
