TOWSON, Md. – Towson University head men's basketball coach Pat Skerry has named Kevin Clark as an associate head coach.
 
"Kevin has been consistent and professional in his work with our program since I've been here," Skerry said. "I've known him for a long time. He even recruited me when he coached at Clark College. When I got the head job here, he was the first person I called to join my staff. He's great with our student-athletes and has been integral to our success on and off the court."
 
Clark has worked as a head coach at the Division I and Division III levels.  Clark has been a great fit at Towson as he boasts a wealth of experience with recruiting contacts on the Eastern Seaboard and throughout the country.

A native of Stamford, Conn., Clark has been a key figure on the college basketball scene for almost three decades.  He has worked at five different Division I schools in the BIG EAST, Atlantic 10, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and the Patriot League.

Clark, who will begin his eighth year with the Tigers, came to Towson after a seven-year stint as an assistant to Coach Jim Baron at Rhode Island.

During his tenure, the Rams compiled a 129-97 record that included three trips to the National Invitation Tournament and a berth in the 2011 College Basketball Invitational Tournament. 
 
Prior to his affiliation at URI, Clark was the associate head coach at St. John's from 1998-2004.  He helped the Red Storm to a 114-78 record that included the 2003 NIT championship.  Clark was named St. John's interim head coach on December 20, 2003, and coached the Red Storm for the remainder of the 2003-04 season.

In his first season at St. John's, the Red Storm posted a 28-9 record and reached the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament.  In his second year, the Red Storm turned in another impressive season, winning the BIG EAST championship and earning another berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Clark's first run in the Atlantic 10 was as an assistant coach under Jarvis at George Washington (1993-97).  The Colonials compiled a 78-45 mark that included the best record in school history (24-9) during the 1997-98 season.  On Clark's watch, GW captured two Atlantic 10 championships and earned two NCAA tournament bids.

From 1991-94, Clark was an assistant coach at Fairfield.

Prior to that, he was the head coach at his alma mater, Clark University, from 1987-91.  He guided the Cougars to the 1988 NCAA Division III Northeast Regional Championship on the strength of a 20-7 record.

In four seasons as the Cougars' head coach, he led Clark to a 61-43 record.

He was an assistant basketball coach at Clark under Coach Wally Halas from 1984-87.  He also served as the head men's and women's track coach during those years.

Clark began his coaching career at Holy Cross, where he was a Crusaders' assistant coach during the 1982-83 season.

A 1981 graduate of Clark University with a degree in sociology, he was a three-time All-American.  A four-year starter, he was also a two-year captain for the Cougars.

As a senior, he was named as the New England Division III Player of the Year by the ECAC and United Press International.  During his playing career, he led the Cougars to four NCAA Division III Tournament appearances and his teams reached the national quarterfinals twice.

The fourth-leading scorer in Clark history with 1,605 points, Clark still holds school records for rebounds (1,447), rebounding average (14.4) and field goal percentage (.600).  On January 28, 1995, he was inducted into the CU Athletic Hall of Fame.

In September, 2003, Clark was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.

Clark lives in Nottingham with his wife Robin. They have two kids, Korey and daughter Kyla.
