Duquesne University head men’s basketball coach Dru Joyce III announced that Chase Goldstein will move into the role of general manager for the Dukes after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant coach.
“It’s a natural progression and position switch for Chase,” Joyce III said. “He’s evolved from starting as a manager before moving to video coordinator to operations to assistant coach, and in all those positions he’s been able to establish relationships. That’s what you want in a general manager role, is not only someone who values relationships but, also through his time in basketball, being able to evaluate skill. I think Chase excels in those categories.”
Goldstein, a native of Coral Springs, Fla., joined the Duquesne coaching staff in May of 2024 as an assistant coach after spending two seasons at the University of Missouri, where he served two years as director of operations as well as the 2023-24 campaign as chief of staff. In his first year with the Tigers, Goldstein helped Mizzou orchestrate the seventh-largest turnaround in NCAA Division I, including the most among programs from a power conference.
“Knowing how to navigate both sides with the world of agents as well as understanding the players and basketball, with his approach and initiative to learn, we’re excited Chase is taking on this new role for our program,” Joyce III said. “We’re really looking forward to having him helping continue to grow Duquesne basketball as well as his career.”
Goldstein is a 2016 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. During his time in Fort Myers, Fla., Goldstein spent three years with the men’s basketball program as a manager for the Eagles. In each of those three seasons, FGCU appeared in the postseason, including a run to the Sweet 16 of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the 2014 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and the 2015 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
Upon graduating from Florida Gulf Coast, Goldstein served as video coordinator for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) during the 2015-16 season. He returned to FGCU for the 2016-17 campaign, serving as assistant coordinator of operations. That season, the Eagles claimed the 2017 Atlantic Sun regular-season championship and set a school record for victories, finishing 26-8 (.765) and advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
From 2017-19, Goldstein served on the video coordinator staff at Florida State. In two seasons with the Seminoles, FSU finished with an overall record of 52-20 (.722), reaching the Elite Eight of the 2018 NCAA Tournament as well as the Sweet 16 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
Goldstein also spent three seasons at Cleveland State from 2019 to 2022 as director of basketball operations. During his three seasons on staff with the Vikings, CSU finished with an overall record of 60-40 (.600), including a ledger of 38-21 (.644) in the Horizon League. Cleveland State claimed a pair of Horizon League regular-season championships (2021, 2022) and also won the 2021 Horizon League Tournament crown, securing an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
