Brandon Pritzl returns to the Green Bay area under Coach Ryan and will enter his third season in 2022-23 as an assistant. Pritzl, a native of De Pere, was the Fox River Classic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year and All-Area Player of the Year during his senior year in 2010. His family has a legacy of basketball success, as his father, Brian, played at St. Norbert, and his younger brother, Brevin, played an important role for the Wisconsin Badgers during a five-year career from 2015 to 2020.
He was promoted to the Associate Head Coach position at Hillsdale College in March, where he helped guide a Charger program that's had four straight winning seasons and three straight seasons of 19 or more wins over the last four years.
Pritzl has been an integral part of a team that won a G-MAC regular-season title in 2019-20 and made the finals of the G-MAC tournament in 2017-18, earning a bid to the 2018 NCAA Division II tournament in the process.
Pritzl came back to Hillsdale after spending two seasons as a graduate assistant with Ohio where he served on the same staff as Coach Ryan. While with the Bobcats, Pritzl was responsible for many aspects of the program’s day-to-day operations, including ticket management, keeping recruiting databases up to date, and working with the Jump Program and the school’s summer camps.
As a player at Hillsdale from 2010 to 2014, Pritzl was a key part of two 20-win teams. He was a three-year starter at shooting guard and was twice named to the GLIAC All-Defensive Team (2011-12, 2013-14). In his career, Pritzl scored 843 points and started 81 games while helping lead the Chargers to their first overall GLIAC regular-season title since 1981-82 and their first regular-season crown at the Division II level in 2011-12.
Brandon, and his wife Michele, have one daughter, Lucy.
