Alan Foy joins the Alvernia University men's basketball staff for his first season as an assistant coach, bringing more than a decade of coaching and athletic administration experience across the high school, prep school, and collegiate levels.
 

A former collegiate player at DeVry University, Foy competed for two seasons while earning his bachelor's degree in Business Administration before beginning a coaching career that has included stops at The Cross Christian Academy, Doane Academy, Bordentown Regional High School, and Cairn University. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for recruiting, player development, scouting preparation, and fostering competitive, relationship-driven program cultures.
 

At The Cross Christian Academy, Foy served as Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach, leading the program to a Regional Championship while helping establish a foundation for long-term success. During his time at Doane Academy, he was part of the coaching staff that captured the program's first Prep State Championship and advanced to back-to-back Prep Championship Games. Across seven seasons as a high school coach, Foy helped develop 18 student-athletes who went on to compete at the collegiate level.
 

Most recently, Foy spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Cairn University, where he played a significant role in recruiting, player development, scouting, academic support, and daily program operations. During his tenure as an assistant coach, the Highlanders reached three consecutive conference tournaments, highlighted by a 20-win season and a conference championship game appearance in 2025-26. Foy also oversaw day-to-day program operations during a head coaching transition while serving as the program's primary recruiter for New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland.
 

Foy earned his Master of Science in Education from Cairn University in 2025 and brings a passion for developing student-athletes, building meaningful relationships, and pursuing competitive excellence to the Alvernia men's basketball program.
