PHILADELPHIA - Bobby Jordan, who has spent the last seven years as an assistant coach at the NCAA Division I level, will join head coach Adam Fisher as an assistant coach on the Temple men's basketball staff.
"I am so happy to welcome Bobby Jordan to our men's basketball staff," said Fisher. "Bobby is a tireless recruiter and a great basketball mind. He is also a tremendous family man, who has strong roots in Philadelphia. I am so happy to welcome him, his wife Kate and their daughters Mackenzie and Madison to the Temple Basketball family."
"I am so excited to join Coach Fisher on his Temple Basketball staff," said Jordan. "It is great being back in the city of Philadelphia where I started my collegiate basketball career. This is an exciting time for Temple, and I am looking forward to working with Adam and the rest of the staff to bring our Owls back to postseason success."
As an assistant coach at Albany, Jordan posted a 2-2 record as the acting head coach for the Great Danes over the first four games in the 2022-23 season.
Prior to his one year at Albany, Jordan spent three seasons at Wagner (2019-22), helping lead the Seahawks from an eight-win season his first year to a 13-7 mark and the Northeast Conference regular season championship (13-5) in year two. His final year at Wagner, he helped lead the Seahawks to a 21-6 mark (15-3 NEC), including a 16-game win streak, the longest in the nation at the time. That season Wagner had four players, including NEC Player of the Year Alex Morales, selected to the NEC All Conference teams, the first time in program history.
A 2009 Drexel alum, Jordan began his coaching career with the Dragons. He served two seasons as an operations assistant for the program before joining Bruiser Flint's staff as an assistant coach for three seasons (2012-15). He was a major influence in the development of guards Damion Lee, Terrell Allen, Frantz Massenat, and Chris Fouch. Lee currently is a member of the Phoenix Suns and was a 1st Team All CAA pick. Allen went on to earn All Rookie honors. Massenat was a First Team All-CAA pick and CAA All Rookie pick, while Fouch was a three-time All-CAA selection as well as the CAA Rookie of the Year.
Jordan also worked at the prestigious IMG Academy as head basketball coach. He led the Ascenders to a 26-4 record and saw five players sign with Division 1 schools, along with five others signing on to play college basketball.
Prior to IMG, Jordan served as head coach at Philadelphia area prep school Girard College. He guided the Cavaliers to a 23-6 record and a state playoff appearance. The Cavaliers were considered one of the top teams in Pennsylvania's Class 1A throughout the season. Three of Jordan's players went on to earn Division 1 scholarships.
Jordan graduated Drexel in 2009 with a degree in Sport Management. He and his wife Kate have two daughters Mackenzie and Madison.
