Grambling to Introduce Joseph Price as Head Men’s Basketball Coach

Written by , Posted in Grambling State University, Headlines, Louisiana, Sports

[mpoverlay]Just days after announcing the return of alumna and former women’s head basketball coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs to the sidelines, Grambling State University will continue its basketball overhaul with the announcement of Joseph Price as head men’s basketball coach at a 10:00 a.m. press conference today.

A former professional player, Price helped the Cardinals to a 23-12 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. Price, who was named to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2007 Men’s Silver Anniversary Team, played 115 games for the Irish to rank 16th all-time in school history in games played. Joseph Price was a seventh round draft pick of the Washington Bullets.
