Ethan Quinn - Denison University Men's Basketball Assistant Coach - Episode 1153

Ethan Quinn is entering his 5th season as a Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach at Denison University in 2025-26. Last season the Big Red recorded a program-record 24 victories, propelling them to their first-ever NCAC regular season championship title. They finished the season ranked #18 in the country. Denison earned an automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championships by winning the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament. Quinn previously spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the men’s basketball program at Ohio Dominican University. He has had a unique journey getting into the college basketball world after being a college football player for four years at Ohio Dominican, graduating in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and a minor in coaching. On this episode Mike & Ethan discuss the rise of Denison’s program from a 5-5 COVID season to an impressive 24 wins, culminating in a historic North Coast Athletic Conference title last season. Ethan hits on the importance of recruiting tenacious players who embody both skill and resilience, a strategy that has catalyzed Denison’s success. The conversation also touches on the necessity of instilling a culture that emphasizes hard work and commitment, ensuring players understand the standard of excellence required to become a consistent winner. Furthermore, we explore the nuances of evaluating talent, distinguishing between potential recruits in both high school and AAU settings, while reinforcing the significance of academic criteria in shaping the roster. Ultimately, the episode serves as a testament to the belief that a dedicated coaching staff, complemented by outstanding recruits, lays the foundation for sustained success in collegiate basketball.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you’re subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts and while you’re there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.
