Minot State University head men’s basketball coach Matt Murken announced Monday that the program has added Jordan Greenly as an assistant coach.

Greenly is currently pursuing his degree in broadcasting at Minot State.

“We are fortunate to add Jordan to our coaching staff,” Murken said. “I’m blessed to have great assistant coaches in coach (Rich) McBride and coach (Ben) Robers and coach Greenly will add to that. He has a great deal of experience as both a high school head coach and assistant coach and has also worked in professional athletics.”

Prior to arriving at Minot State, Greenly coached senior boys basketball at his former high school Blessed Oscar Romero in his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. He served as head coach from 2013-17 and as an assistant from 2009-12. While at Romero, the program won their first ever city championship in school history (2014-15) and compiled their first ever 30-win season, advancing to the provincial tournament for the first time in school history (2016-17). He also served as an assistant senior boys coach at M.E. Lazerte high school from 2015-2017, where the school qualified for the 2016 provincial championships and finished 5th overall.

In addition to high school coaching, Greenly served as a lead coach for Basketball Alberta’s Northside Hoops program in Edmonton for the last two years, which offers an accessible and structured basketball program to several hundred inner-city students ages 8-17.

Greenly earned a radio and television arts diploma, graduating in the spring of 2009. He then led a professional career in both television broadcasting at Shaw TV and professional sports communications with the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos.
