Darin Ford, Men's Basketball Recruiting Coach

University of Akron

[email protected]

I began my coaching career at 17-years-old in Illinois coaching AAU. After graduating from high school, I was a manager at Bradley University. My family and I moved the following year to Florida where I was an assistant coach at Indian River State College. I continued my education at Stony Brook University where I was a manager for one year and then the head coach at Harborfields High School (NY) for two years.

For the 2019-2020 season I was a graduate assistant at the University of Akron where we won the regular season championship. I was hired as an assistant coach at Pratt Community College in August of 2020 and the head coach at Mosley High School (FL) in 2021.

I came to NCSA because I have always been impressed and inspired by the great service our company provides. Educating and assisting student-athletes and their families is such an important job that makes a real impact. I believe that I have something to offer student-athletes and their families due to my experience and unique perspective. NCSA believes that there is a perfect fit for every student-athlete and I could not agree more.

I reside in North Ridgeville, Ohio, a southwest Cleveland suburb, with my girlfriend. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and attending sporting events, usually basketball. I have enjoyed my coaching career and regularly talk to my coaching friends about their teams.
