The Boston University men’s basketball staff has undergone two changes for the upcoming season with the hiring of Dan Ryan as the new video coordinator following the promotion of Al Paul to director of basketball operations, head coach Joe Jones announced.
“I’m very excited to welcome Dan Ryan as a member of our staff,” said Jones. “Dan’s work ethic, intelligence and passion for the sport and young people will enhance our basketball program. I know Dan will fit in very well with our staff, team and BU community.”
Ryan most recently served as director of basketball operations at Belmont for the 2018-19 season that saw the Bruins claim the Ohio Valley Conference title and an NCAA victory over Temple. Responsibilities included creating video edits and written reports for the coaching staff. He was elevated to the position after serving as a graduate assistant during the 2017-18 season.
Prior to joining Belmont, Ryan was a three-year student manager at Illinois State. He was involved with breakdown of game and practice film while assisted with stats and other clerical work. He graduated with a bachelor’s in university studies and later earned his master of sports administration at Belmont.
For the past year, Paul oversaw all aspects of the video editing systems while also creating scouting reports, highlight films and playbooks. He served as the point contact for the summer camps and executed community service initiatives, including the team’s partnership with Team IMPACT, a national nonprofit that connects children facing serious and chronic illnesses with local college athletic teams.
Paul joined the Terriers in the summer of 2018 after serving two years as an assistant coach at Putnam Science Academy. He graduated with a bachelor’s in business administration from Well’s College in 2014 where he was a regular starter his last two years. He later earned his master’s degree in athletic leadership at Castleton University as a graduate assistant coach.
