Hunter is very happy to have Bady back in the fold.

"We are excited to have Jason join the coaching staff," said Hunter. "He is obviously very familiar with how we like to do things and the standards that we have within our program.  It is pretty awesome to have now have not one but two of our All-Americans on our coaching staff."

Bady will be responsible for assisting in all aspects of the program and gives another respected voice on the staff.

"Jason had a tremendous work ethic as a player," said Hunter. "He maximized his time here at York College and beyond as a player and he will provide another excellent role model for our players to follow and learn from."
