Head Coach Marc Kuntz has tabbed Knox Lendall as his new Assistant Coach for the Men’s Basketball season which is just around the corner.
Lendall joins Kuntz’ staff after spending last season as an assistant coach at D3 Nichols College. At Nichols, he served under Brock Erickson, who was named Coach of the Year after the Bison went 22-4 overall with a 17-1 conference record to win the formerly known Commonwealth Coast Conference Regular Season Championship. During his time at Nichols, Lendall helped coach CCC Player of the Year, District 2 First Teamer, an CCC First Team All-Conference player Tavon Jones as well as Second Team All-Conference player Dominic Mello. Lendall was primarily tasked with practice/game planning and scouting reports along with recruiting.
From 2021-2024, Lendall led the Northeastern University Men’s Basketball Club Team which was ranked #1 in the National Club Basketball Association (NCBBA) national rankings for 17 weeks during the 2023-24 season after going 37-2 overall with a 13-1 conference record. That season, the team won the New England Regional Championship and made the NCBBA Final Four. He was responsible for coaching current Northeastern player Nathaniel Francois for three seasons, a two-time NCBBA National Player of the Week, and the top scorer in the country for the NCBBA. In 2022, Lendall established Hard Knox Hoops, a private basketball skill training business working with players across the state of Massachusetts. He has trained over 60-plus clients, 11 of which are currently playing at the collegiate level. Lendall started his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Wells College for 2 1/2 years before finishing it up at Northeastern University in December 2023.
