Following up on a rumor that HoopDirt.com posted last week (Daily Dirt – 10/1/15)…
Babson College head men’s basketball coach Stephen Brennan has announced the hiring of Andrew Habermehl as the new assistant men’s basketball coach, effective immediately.
Habermehl comes to Babson after a successful three-year stint as the assistant men’s basketball coach at Endicott College. He helped the Gulls reach the ECAC Tournament in 2014, and the NCAA Tournament in 2015 after Endicott finished 23-6 and won the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Tournament championship.
A 2010 graduate of Endicott, Habermehl served as the recruiting coordinator and was involved in all facets of the program during his time on campus. He coached seven all-conference performers, including the 2015 CCC Co-Player of the Year, and helped the program to a mark of 50-32 over the last three years.
“We are excited to welcome Andrew to Babson and our men’s basketball family,” said Brennan. “He has a wealth of basketball experience having worked for four elite coaches at both Boston University and most recently at Endicott. I’m sure he will be a major asset to our team, athletic department and the Babson community.”
Habermehl spent two years as a basketball operations intern and one season as a special assistant to the head coach at Division I Boston University. During his time with the Terriers, he assisted the coaching staff with recruiting, video exchange and the compilation of scouting reports, as well as academic progress and the program’s social media efforts.
Habermehl also spent a semester while enrolled at Endicott as a sports information intern at Boston University.
“I am extremely excited to join the basketball staff and athletic department at Babson,” stated Habermehl. “It is bittersweet to leave Endicott and the great relationships I developed there with both the student-athletes and fellow coaches, but I cannot wait to begin to develop those same strong relationships here at Babson. I want to thank Coach Brennan for this opportunity and look forward to getting the season underway.”
In addition to his appointment as the assistant men’s basketball coach, Habermehl will also serve as the assistant athletics communications director at Babson.
