A Fresh Coaching Landscape
Boston College’s men’s basketball program has welcomed five new members to its coaching staff, a move that underscores Coach Luke Murray’s intent to blend proven expertise with fresh perspectives. The additions — Jared Jordan, Andre Berry, Gilvydas Biruta, Chris Mastrangelo and Charlie Weisberg — were announced this week and are expected to enrich the team’s tactical depth and administrative efficiency.
Jordan, a former NBA draft pick selected 45th overall in 2007, brings a 13‑year professional career spent largely in Europe, where he topped the Bundesliga in assists three times. His collegiate pedigree includes two NCAA assist titles and an AP Honorable Mention All‑American nod at Marist, positioning him to guide player development with a global outlook.
Berry, who starred at Rhode Island before embarking on a pro stint across Spain, Finland and Ireland, also holds a master’s degree in sports management from UConn. He previously served as an assistant coach at Connecticut, contributing to national championship‑winning squads, and now returns to the college ranks as a player development assistant.
Biruta, a Lithuanian national team alumnus and former NBA G League coach, joins after stints in multiple European leagues and a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from URI. His background includes leading youth national teams at the U‑16 and U‑18 levels, adding a layer of international coaching nuance.
Mastrangelo arrives from St. Peter’s and UConn, where he honed his craft in operations and player development, helping the Huskies capture back‑to‑back NCAA titles. As director of basketball administration, he will oversee logistical and strategic functions that keep the program running smoothly.
Weisberg, a recent graduate of Skidmore College, rounds out the group with playing experience at Loyola Maryland and a focus on basketball management studies. His fresh academic perspective and on‑court experience are poised to support both recruiting and player mentorship.
Murray emphasized that the new staff’s diverse geographic and professional origins reflect a recruiting philosophy that values international exposure and varied career paths. Their combined stories illustrate a deliberate effort to attract talent that can bridge the gap between collegiate competition and the broader basketball world.
