MANSFIELD, Pa. (AP) — Pat Zipfel, a former NBA assistant coach and advance scout, has been hired as the interim men's basketball coach at Mansfield University.
Zipfel spent last season with the Chicago Bulls and also worked for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers. His international coaching experience includes working on John Calipari's staff with the Dominican Republic and Mike Fratello's with Ukraine.
Before moving to the professional ranks, Zipfel was an assistant coach at The Citadel and the head coach and athletic director at Division III Centenary College in New Jersey.
The Pennsylvania resident says Tuesday that he is "excited about the opportunity to get back to my roots and return to Pennsylvania to teach and coach college basketball" at the Division II school.
