Jason Gillespie Named New Athletic Director and Men's Basketball Coach
CINCINNATI, Ohio (6-23-2009) - Cincinnati Christian University is
pleased to announce the addition of Jason Gillespie as the new
Athletic Director and Men's Basketball Coach. Gillespie comes to CCU
after a spectacular four year stint at Bluefield College in Virginia
where he coached the Ramblin Rams to three straight NAIA National
Tournament Appearances. Under Gillespie, Bluefield amassed a
sensational record of 92-41, won two Appalachian Athletic Conference
regular season titles, and was ranked as high as #8 in the NAIA
National Poll.
Gillespie is no stranger to CCU Athletics as he returns to a program
that he coached from 2003 to 2005. The first time around was a
success for Gillespie as the Eagles won back to back regular season
championships in the Mid East Region. During the 2004-05 season, the
Eagles went 22-15 and went on to finish 6th in the nation.
Gilllespie takes over a basketball program that has gone 76-55 over the
past four seasons and will enter the second year of NAIA competition.
As an NAIA Division II member, CCU competes in the Kentucky
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. CCU is also a member of the
NCCAA and competes as a Division I school in the Mid East Region.
