Carleton College announced a change in leadership for the men’s basketball program effective immediately. Tyler Grey, who was in his fifth season as the top assistant coach for the Knights, has been named interim head coach. He replaces Ryan Kershaw, who served as head coach since 2022.

Kershaw had compiled a 75-35 (.682) during his time at Carleton, and had the Knights off to a 1-1 start this season.
 
During Grey’s time on the coaching staff, Carleton has earned one MIAC regular-season crown as well as qualifying for the MIAC Playoffs four times, including a MIAC Playoffs Championship and a NCAA Championship appearance.
 
Prior to coming to Carleton, Grey spent eight years at the University of St. Thomas in athletic administration, where he served in various roles including marketing, communications, event management and sport administration. Previous to his time at St. Thomas, Grey logged two years as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Gustavus Adolphus College, where he spent four seasons as a member of the Gusties basketball program and helped his team to four MIAC Playoffs appearances, including a trip to the NCAA Tournament during his senior season.
 
In addition to his role at St. Thomas, Grey has also spent time coaching on the AAU basketball scene, as he served as a head coach for the Wear Out the Net Program. He graduated from Gustavus in 2012 and earned his master’s degree in sport management from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2014.
