Jared Grasso is an American college basketball coach, and current head coach of the Bryant Bulldogs men's basketball team.[1]

Playing career

Grasso played four years at Quinnipiac, where he ranks fifth all-time in assists, and fourth all-time in three-point field goals.[2][3]

Coaching career

After graduation, Grasso joined the coaching staff at Hofstra, where he was a graduate assistant for the 2002-03 season before moving on to Hartford for a two-year assistant coaching stint. He returned to his alma mater Quinnipiac for a season as an assistant coach before becoming an assistant coach under Dereck Whittenburg at Fordham.[4][5]

When Whittenburg was fired on December 3, 2009, Grasso took over head coaching duties on an interim basis for the Rams for the remainder of the season.[4][6]

Grasso was not retained by Fordham on a full-time basis, and joined Tim Cluess's staff at Iona as an assistant coach. While with the Gaels, the team has appeared in five NCAA tournaments, and has won five MAAC conference tournament titles, along with three MAAC regular season titles.[2]

On April 2, 2018 Grasso was named the 8th head coach in Bryant men's basketball history, and the second in the Division I era, replacing Tim O'Shea.[1]
