CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian Blue Hose head men's basketball coach Quinton Ferrell announced the addition of Jack Schaffner to the coaching staff. Schaffner will be the men's basketball program's strength and conditioning coach and the director of basketball operations.

"Jack Schaffner comes to our program with a tremendous pedigree and experience," Ferrell said. "I'm very excited for the program and our current student athletes with Jack's arrival. Jack has incredible energy and knowledge that will be a tremendous asset for our athletes in the weight room. He will make our players bigger, stronger, and faster, which will be a huge component of our success this season on the court. The level of passion he displays is something that stands out to me, particularly in relation to his craft and his dedication to young people.
