Daniel Price
- Title:
- Assistant Women's Basketball Coach
A former NAIA National Champion as a coach in 2013 with Georgetown College, Daniel Price joins the Herd staff after having served as head women's basketball coach at Simmons College of Kentucky from 2021-23.
As head coach of Simmons, under Price's leadership, the Lady Falcons soared to new heights, achieving a remarkable 17-10 record overall in his first season. Notably, they clinched the NCCAA Mideast Regional Championship and made history with their first-ever appearance in the NCCAA National Tournament Final Four. Along the way, the team embarked on an impressive 10-game winning streak and secured top-ten rankings in multiple statistical categories per game, including scoring, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, free throw percentage, opponent free throw percentage, offensive rebounds per game, turnover margin, assist/turnover ratio, blocked shots, and steals per game.
In addition to his duties as a women's basketball coach, Price has experience in all realms of athletics and community, serving as the Community Relations Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters in Kentuckiana. Prior to becoming the head coach at Simmons College, Price was also the assistant athletic director for development at Kentucky State University from 2015-18.
As Assistant Athletic Director for Development at Kentucky State University, Price spearheaded numerous initiatives to enhance visibility, including securing a Nike deal for the athletic program - the first in HBCU history - and leading efforts to upgrade facilities such as the press box and fencing for the baseball field, as well as introducing the Thorobreds Sports Network, the first live streaming network in school history. Price's vision and leadership resulted in an 84% increase in visibility through all platforms and paved the way for the logo change for the Thorobreds.
With determination and an unyielding commitment to his passion for helping young athletes, Coach Price made a pivotal decision during the 2018-19 season. He chose to step away from the world of collegiate sports to focus on his non-profit organization, Overtime Performance Skills Development (OTP). Over the years, Coach Price and OTP have transformed the lives of more than 125 student athletes, guiding them towards scholarships at every level of collegiate basketball, and nurturing their dreams of playing at the professional level and obtaining academic degrees.
No stranger to winning, Price was instrumental in leading the University of Cumberland to a national tournament appearance and a Mid-South Conference tournament title, culminating in a commendable 20-12 record. Price's expertise in player development has been apparent,developing notable leaders including current head men's coach Matt Daniels and Associate Head Men's Basketball Coach Flynn Clayman of High Point University, both of whom went on to have successful careers in professional basketball overseas.
"Coach Price has helped me throughout my career," Marshall head women's basketball coach Kim Stephens said. "He has developed several players who have played for me and they all have spoken very highly of him. He is a talented skill developer and I know he can make our players better. He can motivate them to get in the gym and do the extra work it takes to be successful."
