SEATTLE – Seattle Pacific University men's basketball interim head coach Keffrey Fazio announced the addition of Donald Rollman as the program's lead assistant on Friday morning.
 
"I am excited to bring Donald on staff," Fazio said. "He has been a very successful junior college coach over the past five years at Peninsula College. I have watched his teams play over the years, and they always play extremely hard, they are organized and usually ranked tops in the conference year in, and year out. He will bring great energy and understanding of the game. His resumé is impressive, and I looking forward to him making an impact here at SPU."
 
Rollman joins the Falcons after four years at the helm of Peninsula College. Rollman's tenure with the Pirates began with success, as the team earned a spot in the NWAC Basketball Championship Tournament in his first year. In total, Rollman was on staff for five consecutive trips to the NWAC Tournament. 
 
The program racked up 56 wins over four years. The Pirates were stout defensively, ranking inside the top 10 in points allowed per game for three straight seasons. They allowed the fewest points per game in the league in 2020-21 (70.0) and 2022-23 (66.5). The team also got it done on the glass under Rollman. The Pirates were a top-five team in rebounding margin in the NWAC over the last three seasons.  
 
Before Peninsula, Rollman served as assistant men's basketball coach and strength and conditioning coach at Olympic College in Bremerton, Wash. He helped develop and move student-athletes onto all levels of college basketball. He also served as Bainbridge Roots AAU coach for sixth and ninth-grade AAU boy's teams for three years, and a spring high school player development and tournament coach for Bainbridge High School. 
 
Rollman played soccer at Olympic College. After receiving his Associate of Arts degree, he'd move on to Great Northwest Athletic Conference Member Central Washington University. Rollman earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science from CWU. He'd go on to Concordia University Irvine, where he'd collect a Master's Degree in Athletic Administration and Coaching.
 
"To join a program and institution as special as SPU is an honor," Rollman said. "It's a rich tradition of developing student-athletes to be servant leaders is a commitment I can't wait to add to. I'm grateful for the opportunity Coach Fazio has given me to bring my energy and passion to this program and continue pushing for all that SPU Men's Basketball embodies on and off of the floor."
 
Rollman's first day with the Falcons is July 1.
