Jon Gin was announced as the Anderson University head women’s basketball coach in June 2021. He enters the 2022-23 season in his second year as head coach.

Gin comes to Anderson with nine years coaching experience. He most recently held the role of assistant coach at NCAA Division III’s Covenant College for two years. Gin also served as an assistant at NCAA Division II’s Gannon University for three years and at NCAA Division II’s Trevecca Nazarene University for two years.

While at Covenant, Gin led the Covenant defense while also largely contributing to Covenant’s recruiting and development. Gin helped bring in 16 newcomers for the 2020-21 season. During the 2019-20 season, the Scots limited opponents to 55.7 points per game during the conference season, which ranked fourth in the 16-team USA South Athletic Conference. Gin recruited and coached Destiny Mergilles, a three-time USA South Rookie of the Week award winner. Mergilles led the team with averages of 12.1 points and 7.8 rebounds as a freshman. Gin coached the first two players in program history to be named to the All-USA South West Division first team.

In addition to his responsibilities as an assistant coach, Gin led Covenant’s JV team and was in charge of all aspects of the JV team, including scheduling, budgeting, player growth and player development. Gin also filled the roles of Director of Intramurals and Home Events Coordinator.

Gin spent the previous three seasons at Gannon, where he served as the team’s recruiting coordinator and defensive coordinator. During the 2018-19 season, the Golden Knights ranked first in defensive rebounds per game, second in defensive efficiency and fifth in scoring defense in the 17-team Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Gin recruited and coached Tori Obenrader, the 2019 PSAC Western Division Freshman of the Year and seven-time PSAC Western Division Freshman of the Week. Obenrader averaged 7.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and converted 46.6 percent of her shots from the floor. The Golden Knights received four all-PSAC selections during Gin’s tenure.

Gin held the role of assistant coach at Trevecca Nazarene from 2013-15. During those two years, the Trojans compiled a 36-19 record and captured the 2014 Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) regular-season title. Trevecca Nazarene totaled five G-MAC all-conference selections and nine G-MAC Player-of-the-Week selections in those two years. Gin played an integral role to Trevecca Nazarene’s scouting, recruiting and player development.

As a student at NCAA Division I’s University of North Florida, Gin contributed to North Florida’s basketball operations and video coordination. Gin spent the 2015-16 season as an assistant at Moravian Prep Academy in Hudson, N.C. He has also coordinated a Florida State University women’s basketball camp event and worked as a YMCA basketball instructor.

Gin is a member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and Asian Coaches Association (ACA). He graduated North Florida in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Management. Gin then earned a Master of Science degree in Management from Trevecca Nazarene in 2015.
