Quinton Black is entering his third season as an assistant coach on the Concordia University Texas men’s basketball staff after earning two letters as a member of the team. His responsibilities include on-the-floor coaching, the development of the post players, scouting, recruiting, academic progress of the student-athletes and other administrative duties.
Black most notably mentored forwards Brad Walker and Justin Reefer in his first season on the sidelines. Walker won a plethora of awards his senior season, which included being named the American Southwest Conference West Division and Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Small College Player of the Year. He made the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week four times, which was more than any other player in the country, and garnered First Team All-South Region and D3hoops.com Second Team All-South Region honors. Reefer was placed on the ASC West Division All-Defensive Team. This past season, Reefer was honorably mentioned for All-ASC West Division honors and Josh Johnson made the division’s all-defensive squad.
Black lettered with the Tornados during the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons before beginning his current coaching stint. In addition to helping the squad advance to the ASC Tournament each year, which included the program’s first appearance in the championship game in 2008, Black held several leadership positions as a student-athlete by serving as a captain and team representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Prior to transferring to Concordia, Black spent two years at Ranger Community College in Ranger, Texas. He averaged 10 points per game while serving as a team captain each season.
On the scholastic level, Black earned all-area accolades and district MVP honors as a three-year letterwinner at East Bernard High School. He was also chosen to represent his school at the Texas Boys State Leadership Program in Austin.
Black earned an associate’s degree in kinesiology from Wharton County Junior College in 2007. He later earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology at Concordia in 2009. A native of Eagle Lake, Texas, Black currently resides in Austin.
