Joe Crispin, a former college standout and professional player, completed his sixth year as head men’s basketball coach at Rowan University in 2021-2022 and now owns a 90-48 record. It was his 8th overall year at the school as he previously served as an assistant coach with both the men’s and women’s basketball programs for two seasons.
Prior to joining Rowan’s coaching staff, Crispin played professionally in the United States and Europe, highlighted by a stint in the NBA. The 2001 graduate of Penn State was an undrafted free agent and played in a total of 22 games in 2001-02, first for the Los Angeles Lakers, under coach Phil Jackson, and then with the Phoenix Suns under coach Scott Skiles.
Joe also played in both the ABA and the USBL before his career then took him to Europe as he played in leagues in Ukraine, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Poland and Greece.
Crispin enjoyed a successful career as a four-year starter at Penn State from 1997 to 2001, where he remains the school’s third leading all-time scorer with 1,986 points, is fifth all-time in assists (485) and ranks fourth in three-point field goals made (885). A two-time All-Big 10 Conference selection, which included first-team honors his senior year, Crispin captained the 2001 Nittany Lions as they went 21-12 and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
As an All-State player at Pitman High School, Joe scored 2,654 points. He is the owner and director of Crispin Basketball, which has been conducting camps, clinics and leagues for players in grades K-12 since 2008. Crispin, who earned his Penn State degree in telecommunications, has also trained players from the elementary to collegiate levels.
He added the title of “author” to his resumé, with the 2020 publishing of his book, Offense Wins: A Player’s 12 Foundational Principles for Great Basketball Offense.
