Coach Carroll, said of Gonce, “We are excited to add Coach Gonce to our staff. I’ve observed Logan since college, where he was a coach on the floor, to now becoming a professional known as a tireless worker, intelligent thinker, and exceptional developer of talent. He has tremendous experience, coaching in the GLVC, one of the toughest NCAA Division II leagues in the country. He’s worked for two coaches I have immense respect for in Jesse Shaw and Marc Stricker. More importantly, he exemplifies the Christian-Scholar-Athlete model and is well equipped to help our athletes learn what it means to “Live Your Legacy.”
Logan Gonce said, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to join Trojan Nation. Knowing coach Carroll during my playing days at Illinois Springfield gives me an insider understanding of what type of program he is building here at TNU. It didn’t take long to accept the offer once given the opportunity. Nashville is a great place to call home, and already enjoy being a member of this staff.”
