Head Coach
Philip Parker
Coach Parker is in his first year as the head men’s basketball coach at Spurgeon College after a 5-year stint on the staff at Calvary University. Originally being recruited to play at Calvary, Coach Parker was forced to end his playing career early in his first season due to medical reasons. After starting as a student assistant, he worked his way into the head assistant coach role in his last year. In his time there, he helped lead a rebuilding squad from a 1-20 record to a near .500 record including a second-place finish in the Midwest Christian College Conference regular season during the 2018-19 season, a feat not attained in over 20 years, while producing one of the best defenses in the NCCAA DII.
