Hannan(Houghton, N.Y.)—Houghton College has named Andrew (Drew) Hannan as assistant men’s basketball coach and assistant sports information director. Hannan was graduate assistant for the men’s basketball team at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio.
            At Walsh, the team went 26-5 and 28-6 the last two years, winning the AMC Championship and advancing to the Sweet Sixteen of the NAIA’s national tournament both seasons. As part of the staff, Hannan coached three All-American players and three players that are playing professionally.

            Hannan has also coached an 8th-grade team in Covington, Ky., and worked at numerous camps, including those at the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University.

            He earned a bachelor’s degree in international business, summa cum laude, from Youngstown State and a master’s degree in education from Walsh.

            Hannan and his wife, Heather, reside in Fillmore.

Houghton College has deep and solid roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play and in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference for the Kingdom on campus, in Allegany County, in the Northeast and around the world.  Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door for Houghton to be a leader, both in the Northeast and nationally, in character education. Through hands-on, innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and student-athletes are working together to change the culture of sport and to change our culture through sport.
