Fife Completes Men's Basketball Staff
Good and Parkinson join Mastodons
Fort Wayne, IN - IPFW head men's basketball coach Dane Fife has announced the completion of his men's basketball staff for the 2007-08 season.
Fife has named Gerad Good assistant coach and Austin Parkinson Director of Basketball Operations.
Good spent the past three years as an assistant coach at John A. Logan College in Carterville, Illinois. The Volunteers posted a record of 74-22 during his tenure.
A native of Shelbyville, Indiana, Good graduated from Shelbyville High School in 1989. He attended Husson College in Bangor, Maine, where he played basketball for two years. In 1992, he transferred to Manchester College in North Manchester, Indiana, where he played for two seasons under Coach Steve Alford. After completing his playing career, he remained at the college another year to finish his bachelor's degree in physical education. He also worked as a student assistant coach for the basketball program, helping guide the team to an undefeated record during the regular season and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Division III National Tournament. During his three years at the college, the basketball team compiled a record of 74-13.
"I'm excited to have Gerad joining our staff," coach Fife said. "He's an Indiana guy who has built a reputation at John Logan as a quality recruiter within the Midwest and as a great mentor to his players. He will do well here at IPFW." . . .
Parkinson comes to IPFW after spending the last two seasons as the graduate assistant coach at the University of Indianapolis.
Parkinson, a former Purdue University basketball letterwinner, finished his Boilermaker career in 2003-04 tied for 10th on the school's all-time assist list. Parkinson led the team in assists both his sophomore (140) and senior (119) campaigns. He also led the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio three years straight. . . .
"Austin has a great basketball background," Fife noted. "Having played at Purdue and worked at the University of Indianapolis, he understands the level of commitment it takes to be successful at this level. I am excited about him joining our program here at IPFW and his continued growth in the coaching profession." . . . . (read more)
