Hood College head men’s basketball coach Chad Dickman has added two new assistant coaches to his staff:
Luke Summers – Assistant Coach
A Frederick native and Urbana High School graduate, Summers arrives at Hood after serving as the Head Manager for the men’s basketball team at Bucknell University from 2016-2020. During his time at Bucknell, he helped the Bison win three Patriot League regular season titles, two Patriot League Tournament Championships, and earn two NCAA tournament berths. Summers carried out numerous administrative and basketball tasks including travel planning and coordination, scouting, and recruiting. He also ran voluntary workouts for Bucknell’s players outside of practice, helping to develop six All-Patriot League selections.
Summers graduated with an undergraduate degree in mathematical economics with a concentration in computational statistics. He approaches the game from a highly analytical perspective and combines this with a strong basketball background cultivated right here in Frederick County.
Jared Wagner – Graduate Assistant Coach
Wagner arrives at Hood following a decorated playing career at York College (Pa.). Wagner was named the 2020 Capital Athletic Conference Player of the Year, NABC All-District First Team, and NABC All-American Second Team after a stellar senior season that saw him average 18 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and three steals per game.

In addition to his playing career, Wagner has spent three years as a head coach with the York Ballers AAU organization, and spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Eastern York Boys Varsity Basketball program.
Wagner graduated from York College (Pa.) with an undergraduate degree in Sports Management. He was selected as a CoSIDA All-Academic Region District 4 (PA) member during his senior season. He will be pursing his master’s degree at Hood in the interdisciplinary studies of human behavior at Hood.
