Fralick is in his first season as a member of the Gannon coaching staff. He comes to Gannon after spending the last five seasons at former Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) rival Ashland University. He spent all five seasons under Ashland’s all-time winningest head coach Roger Lyons, originally serving the first two campaigns as a graduate assistant before assuming the full-time position the last three seasons.
The Troy, Mich., native demonstrated great success in recruiting, scouting, and game and practice preparation at Ashland. After moving into the full-time spot, much of Fralick’s time was spent on recruiting. He proved to be most successful while recruiting in the states of Michigan and Ohio. Fralick helped recruit five all-conference performers, including the 2007-08 GLIAC Freshman of the Year Kale Richardson. In addition to being the program’s academic coordinator, he helped install a new film breakdown/exchange program two years ago.
Ashland qualified for the GLIAC Tournament in three of the last four seasons. The Eagles advanced to the GLIAC semifinals and were ranked among the NCAA Division II Top 25 during his first year as a full-time assistant.
Fralick played collegiate basketball at GLIAC member Saginaw Valley State. As a senior, he was second on the team in scoring, assists and steals. He began his career at NCAA Division I Oakland University (1999-2002), where he was a member of the Mid-Continent Conference regular-season championship team in 2000. Fralick earned all-academic accolades at both schools.
Fralick is a 2004 graduate of Saginaw Valley State. He later received his Master’s Degree in sports sciences from Ashland in 2006.
