I am excited to work with Coach Ballard and his staff who I will definitely learn from throughout the season. Go Cats!” Coach Spencer currently resides in Canton, Michigan with his wife, Tanci Spencer (who also played college basketball), and their dog, Breezy. “Coach Spencer really knows the game of basketball, but coaching is more than that for him,” said Coach Ballard. “He’s all about connecting with players and guiding them to success on and off the court. I expect he will be quite valuable to our program with his wealth of knowledge on the game and head coaching varsity experience that he brings to the table.”Jordyn ChouinardVarsity Assistant Coach Jordyn Chouinard begins her second season as part of the Women’s Basketball staff after she graduated from Plymouth in 2016.
