Jared Grasso Named NEC Coach of the Year

Bryant University men’s basketball senior Peter Kiss and junior Charles Pride have been named to the All-Northeast Conference First Team, while head coach Jared Grasso has been named the conference’s Jim Phelan Coach of the Year. 

Kiss and Pride become the first Bulldogs to earn All-NEC First Team honors in the same season in DI program history. Kiss is a member of the first team for the second-straight year, while Pride earns his first All-NEC recognition. 

Grasso was named Bryant’s second NEC Coach of the Year after Tim O’Shea in 2012-13. He has led the Bulldogs to a Division I program record-tying 19 wins and an 11-1 home record. Bryant went 16-2 in NEC play, good for their first-ever regular-season conference title at any level.
