The Northeastern Lacrosse community wishes Coach Gray all the luck in his future endeavors and appreciates all the work that he has put in to get our program to where we are today.
From CollegeLax:
Northeastern coach Tim Gray has announced he will be leaving the Huskies this spring and that assistant coach Joe Brady will replace him as head coach.
“Leaving NU was a very difficult decision, but the job opportunity in California was too much to pass up,” said Gray.
Coach Gray had an overall record of 65-32 with the Huskies, who he lead to the National Tournament for three years in a row from 2005-2007. A former Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League (PCLL) Coach of the Year, Gray’s players over the years have included 43 all-league PCLL selections and 14 MCLA All Americans.
The Huskies also won a pair of PCLL titles (2005 and 2006) under Gray.
“I’ve been involved with the Northeastern program since 1997 as a player or a coach. I’ve worked very hard with my players through the years to make it into the competitive team that it is today. But knowing that Joe Brady was on board and willing to take over the head coaching duties made it a little bit easier,” said Gray.
“Joe has earned the respect of every player on the team and they have all been working hard for him. I’m extremely confident that NU lacrosse is being left in the right hands to continue to steer it in the right direction this year and hopefully future years,” added Gray.
Though conceding the move to California will be a tough one after spending so much time in the PCLL, Gray said he hasn’t ruled out a return to coaching on the opposite coast.
“For now, I will concentrate in my duties as MCLA secretary. Maybe I will get back into coaching next year,” concluded Gray.
