Crisshawn Clark enters his first year as a PLNU Men's Basketball Assistant Coach in 2024-25.
Clark joins the PLNU staff after spending the 2023-24 season coaching at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California.
“We are thrilled to add Crisshawn to our coaching staff,” Head Coach Justin Downer said. “The combination of playing at a high level, and the adversity that he’s had to overcome to achieve his dreams on the floor, will pay dividends in our program. Our players are fortunate to get to work with him every day.”
Clark’s playing career, which was cut short due to several serious injuries, included playing at the NCAA Division I level for the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Portland.
The Ohio native and former Wayne High School standout graduated from Portland with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies.
“I am deeply honored and incredibly grateful to join an institution that not only prioritizes the success of its student-athletes, but also fosters a vibrant and supportive community,” Clark said. “Coach Downer’s unwavering dedication to developing leaders both on and off the court is truly inspiring, and it perfectly aligns with the values I hold dear.
“I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to contribute to this journey and eager to immerse myself in the Point Loma spirit, where the possibilities are endless.”
