Keene State College

A former four-year player for the Owls from 2004-2008, Ritter returns to Keene State as an assistant men's basketball coach this season.   Known for his versatility and tough, hard-nosed play, Ritter averaged 5.65 points during his four seasons, netting a career-high 18 points against Little East rival Rhode Island College as a senior.  Ritter was a member of a highly successful Keene State program that captured the LEC regular season championship and his junior season and advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament his junior year.

Ritter joins the KSC staff after serving at his assistant coach at his alma-mater John Jay (N.Y.) High School last year.  At John Jay, Ritter earned All-State, All-County, and All-League honors. A 1,000-point career scorer, he set school records for points in a game (43) and a season (517). 

Earning his degree in physical education from KSC in 2008, the Hopewell Junction, N.Y., native will be involved in all facets of the Owls' program, including working with the teams' backcourt players and recruiting.
