Shay Boyle enters his fourth season as the Head Varsity Coach of the Gordon Tech Boys Basketball program after a successful 6-year career as a college men’s assistant basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago (DI) and Lewis University (DII). Boyle and his staff have brought new energy and excitement to Gordon Tech and have quickly turned around the Gordon Tech program that has long been recognized as a north-side power.

Boyle developed the Gordon Tech Summer Basketball Camps and serves as the Director, overseeing every aspect of the camps, including staffing, planning, marketing, and enrollment.
