Nick Sales returns to the Defiance College men’s basketball program as an assistant coach in 2011-2012, after a spectacular four-year career on the hardwood for the Purple and Gold that saw him become the 23rd All-American in program history.

Sales graduated from DC in May of 2010 with a degree in sport management and a minor in recreation and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in education, while also working in the retention office at Defiance College.

During his four-year career with the Yellow Jackets, Sales etched his name throughout the record books at Defiance, racking up 1,383 points, 833 rebounds, 79 blocks and a program-record 60.5 career field goal percentage. The three-time All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference performer was named HCAC Player of the Year, First-Team All-Midwest District and All-American as a senior, after leading the Jackets to a 23-6 campaign, the HCAC Championship and a berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Sales began his coaching career during the 2010-2011 season on staff at Albion. During his tenure as an assistant coach with the Britons, Sales served as the head coach of the junior varsity squad and handled recruiting and video exchange responsibilities.
