I can confirm that Roxbury CC (MA) head basketball coach Jelani Townsell has stepped down from his post in order to become the athletic director at the school.

Townsell took over as the Tigers head coach in 2016 after spending the previous five seasons as the head coach at Newbury College (MA). Townsell also spent time as a graduate assistant on Jim Calhoun’s staff at UConn.

HoopDirt.com will have the official job posting with in the next week or so.

I have also heard that this will be the first of three NJCAA Region XXI jobs that will open this spring. More on those shortly…
