“We are very excited to welcome Chase to our basketball family. Chase has had the opportunity to learn from some outstanding coaches in our profession. He understands the culture of Florida College and what it takes to compete at the highest level. His ability to connect with his players and impact them on and off the court will be a great asset to our program.”
Teichmann, a Brentwood, TN native, graduated from UT Chattanooga in 2015, where he served as a student assistant for the men’s basketball team under Head Coach Will Wade.

“I’m extremely honored to join the staff at Florida College. What Coach Todd is building at Florida College is exciting. We share the same vision and values and I am honored to have this opportunity. FC is a great place to recruit student-athletes who want an excellent education and compete for championships. I am looking forward to getting to know the Tama Bay area and connecting with the high school coaches throughout Florida.”
