GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Joey Carroll has joined the Gettysburg men's basketball staff as a full-time assistant coach, announced by head coach B.J. Dunne.

Carroll returns to the Bullets, bringing a strong foundation of experience, perspective, and passion for the program he once played for and helped elevate as a student coach.

Most recently, Carroll spent the last two seasons as a graduate assistant for University at Buffalo men's basketball. At Buffalo, he played an integral role in all aspects of the program - breaking down film, assisting with scouting reports, player development, and providing in-game strategic input. He also led individual workouts, tracked analytics, and managed the team's recruiting database. In addition, Carroll directed the Bulls' social media strategy and collaborated with marketing staff to enhance program engagement.

Before Buffalo, Carroll served as a Student Assistant Coach at Gettysburg from 2021-23. During his time on staff, the Bullets achieved one of the most successful stretches in recent history, earning their highest postseason seed since 2011, back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2016, and their best non-conference record in more than a decade.

In the summer of 2023, Carroll served as head coach of the Jersey Force 16U HGSL team, leading them to multiple tournament titles while guiding several players toward collegiate opportunities at the Division I, II, and III levels.
A former Gettysburg player from 2016-18, Carroll is a 2022 graduate with a bachelor of arts in political science. He earned his masters of arts in education from SUNY Buffalo in 2025.

"It's incredibly exciting to have an alum on staff who has seen the transformation of our program firsthand," Dunne said. "Joey will provide great perspective, has a great feel for the game, and brings a deep understanding of the connection between mental wellness and performance. His experience and energy will make an immediate impact on our players and culture."
