Shawn Trice, a 1995 Penn graduate and a two-time All-Ivy basketball player, was announced as the new assistant basketball coach on Thursday.
Trice will become the team's new volunteer assistant. Matt Langel -- last year's volunteer coach -- will replace Gil Jackson as one of the team's two paid assistants.
Jackson left Penn earlier this summer to become the head coach at Howard.
Coach Fran Dunphy's newest protege has no previous college coaching experience. Trice has spent the past seven years as a sports coordinator for the YMCA in his native Detroit.
Dave Duke is now the only assistant coach who did not attend Penn.
In his four years as a bigman for the Quakers, Trice helped Penn amass a record of 85-24. In his final three seasons, Penn went undefeated in Ivy League play.
In 1994, he helped No. 11 Penn upset No. 6 Nebraska in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. No Penn team has since won an NCAA Tournament game.
Trice averaged 7.7 points and 6 rebounds per game in his career at Penn.
After graduating, Trice played professional basketball overseas -- first for Sweden's Kvarnby Evergreen and then for Taiwan's Yulon Dragons.
