Dickinson State University

Drew Rippingham enters his first season as a graduate assistant with the Dickinson State University men’s basketball program and his fourth year in collegiate coaching. Prior to joining the Blue Hawks, Rippingham spent one season as a student assistant and two seasons as a volunteer assistant at Western Oregon University.

A former collegiate guard, Rippingham played at both Western Oregon and Lassen Community College. While at Lassen, he earned Second Team All-Conference honors, averaging 11 points per game and shooting 42 percent from three-point range. His sharp shooting and leadership on the court translated naturally into coaching, where he is known for his high energy, strong communication, and commitment to player development.

At Dickinson State, Rippingham brings a passion for the game and a focus on helping student-athletes excel both on and off the court. His experience at multiple collegiate levels and dedication to teaching the game make him a valuable addition to the Blue Hawk coaching staff.
