Coach Josh Gross shares his journey from growing up in Maryland to becoming a standout player at UNCG, embarking on a professional basketball career, and now coaching college basketball.

He played at UNCG under current Iowa Head Coach Fran McCaffery and shares his experiences and what he learned from the UNCG coaches. Coach Gross played in the NBA D-League (now G League) as well as numerous other countries before breaking into the coaching ranks at the HS level. From there he moved onto Belmont Abbey (NCAA D2) under former UNCG Assistant Coach Billy Taylor. He returned to the HS ranks as a Head Coach for a couple seasons before returning to Belmont Abbey. During their NCAA Tournament run he was named the Head Coach at Johnson & Wales (NC) and he speaks candidly about what it was like to coach a team, but having it announced that he was named the next Head Coach at another school.

The 2021-22 season was his first season at the helm of Johnson & Wales, and he's certainly exceeded expectations. Coach Gross is another example of a BIG time coach coaching at the small college level.
