Over the summer, the Georgia State women’s basketball team added two new coaches to the staff, Tron Griffin and Jasmine Young. Griffin is a former college football player turned basketball coach. Young played for head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener at East Carolina, and afterward, she went on to play professionally overseas.
Tron Griffin
The Signal: So, you played football in college. How did you go from being a football player to being a basketball coach?
Griffin: Basketball was always my first love. I kind of played football just to get tough since I was a big guy, and then, of course, the love for basketball took over and being able to help young ladies on the court through the game of basketball took over and has become my passion because I have a 7 and 8-year-old daughter.
