Matt Spencer joins the Roos coaching staff as a student assistant coach for the 2016-17 season. He spent two seasons competing as a student-athlete for the Roos men's basketball team.
“Matt is a young man who I met early on in this process and became very impressed with,” Thompson said. “As a former student-athlete, his corporate knowledge of SUNY Canton and respect level within our locker room will be an incredible asset for our program.”
Spencer started all 24 contests he appeared in during the 2015-16 season posting a team-best 31 blocks to go with 99 rebounds and 74 points. He scored a season-high eight points to go with six rebounds in just 13 minutes of action in an 85-60 win at SUNY Potsdam.
“I am happy to continue my basketball career as a student assistant coach. I look forward to gaining knowledge and experience of the game from Coach Thompson and the rest of the staff as I continue to work towards my dreams.”
