Andy Partee, who helped guide Brown University to three runner-up finishes in the Ivy League during the early 2000s, was named head coach of the Colorado College men’s basketball team in April, 2006.
Partee brought more than 15 years of coaching and recruiting experience to the Tigers. He had served as an assistant on the men’s staff at Brown since June 1998, coordinating national recruiting efforts in addition to his on-court duties. He earlier spent four seasons (1994-98) as an assistant coach at Monmouth University, another NCAA Division I program, as well as two campaigns (1992-94) in the Division II ranks, at the University of Northern Colorado.
Partee is the 19th head coach in the history of Colorado College men’s basketball. The Tigers, formerly a Division III independent program, made their debut as a member of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference in 2007-08.
Partee lettered four years at Monmouth, playing point guard his senior year (1991-92) when the Hawks won 20 games for the first time ever. After he returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach, the team earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by claiming a Northeast Conference championship in 1995-96.
He and his wife, Tracy, have a young son, Zevien, who shares May 11 as a birthday with his father.
