The NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association has announced Matt Ridge as its new secretary/treasurer. Ridge currently serves as both the head men’s basketball coach and athletic director at Davidson-Davie Community College in Thomasville, North Carolina.
"I am honored to have been chosen to be a part of the NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association," Ridge said. "This committee consists of a lot of people that I have tremendous respect for."
"I’m looking forward to working closely with all committee members to continue to make positive progress for NJCAA Men’s Basketball on a national stage. Without question, I'm sure I will learn a lot from other committee members that have wisdom, knowledge and experience."
Ridge was appointed as the Storm’s head coach in 2007 and brings a wealth of experience to the coaches association. Since taking over, he has guided the program to an outstanding 500–90 record, losing only 20 home games during that span. His win total is the highest among all junior college coaches over the past 18 years.
Ridge’s accomplishments at Davidson-Davie are extensive. He has led the Storm to 10 District VII Championship appearances and 10 NJCAA National Tournament appearances. The Storm have won nine of those district championship trips. Ridge has also overseen three undefeated regular-season conference title seasons. At the national tournament, he coached Davidson-Davie to two national runner-up finishes and seven additional top-eight finishes.
Individually, Ridge has earned 11 Region 10 Coach of the Year awards and has been named District Coach of the Year 10 times.
Prior to his time at Davidson-Davie, Ridge served as an assistant coach at Guilford College and spent six successful seasons (2000–06) as the head boys’ basketball coach at East Davidson High School.
"We are excited to welcome Coach Ridge as the newest addition to our committee," Coaches Association President Tim Sandquist said. "He brings deep-rooted NJCAA experience to our group from the Division II level in a region of the country we haven't had representation from in recent years. His 20 years of NJCAA commitment and involvement will be of great benefit to our committee, and the student-athletes and coaches across the country."
Ridge will join Sandquist (Kirkwood), First Vice President Pete Norman (Highland, Ill., former), Second Vice President Cord Wright (Northeast Mississippi), and Third Vice President John Bowler (Parkland) as an officer on the NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association Committee.

Sandquist Named Interim President of NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association
|
|
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association President Brian Hoberecht has stepped down from his role and Kirkwood Community College head coach Tim Sandquist will take over the leadership role.
Sandquist, who has built on Kirkwood’s legacy as one of the top programs in NJCAA Division II, will serve as interim president, after serving as the vice president last season, for the 2025-26 season. He will begin his two-year term in 2026-27.
“I am honored to step in and serve as president on an interim basis this upcoming year,” Sandquist said. “First, I want to thank Coach Hoberecht for his service to the NJCAA and the leadership he provided during his time on the committee. He was always about doing what’s best for our student-athletes and coaches.”
Sandquist has deep coaching roots in the junior college ranks. Last season, he guided Kirkwood to its fourth NJCAA Division II national title — the first of his career as a head coach -- while in turn winning NABC & NJCAA Coach of the Year honors.
Before arriving at Kirkwood, he led Rock Valley College (Ill.) to a national runner-up finish in 2019, earning Region IV and District 2 Coach of the Year honors. He also served on staffs at Northwest Kansas Technical College, Dodge City Community College, and Southwestern Community College. An Omaha native, Sandquist began his coaching career at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
“I am looking forward to serving NJCAA Mens' Basketball and building upon our reputation,” Sandquist said. “We have so many talented, qualified, and devoted student-athletes and coaches. Our goal as a committee is to continue to provide them with a rewarding and fulfilling experience — not only by promoting existing opportunities but also by creating new ones for our coaches and players to participate in.”
With the transition, other association members will also move up one position. Pete Norman, formerly of Highland (Ill.), will assume the First Vice President role, with Cord Wright (Northeast Mississippi) and John Bowler (Parkland, Ill.) stepping into the Second and Third Vice President roles, respectively.
The Secretary/Treasurer position is now vacant and will be filled after an application and voting process conducted by the Association later this fall.
