Grushkin has led the Warrior program for the past four seasons, having joined Indiana Tech in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResigning has been something I\u2019ve been considering,\u201d Grushkin said. \u201cMy father passed away over a year ago, and since that time I\u2019ve wanted to get back closer to my family. Overall, it\u2019s been a good four-year ride, and I\u2019d like to thank President Snyder and the Indiana Tech family for the opportunity here. I wish everyone well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With one game still remaining this season, Grushkin has led his Warrior teams to a record of 83-42 over the course of his four years at Indiana Tech. Grushkin\u2019s teams posted winning records in each of his four seasons at Indiana Tech, averaging 20+ wins a year and including three straight 20-win campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Grushkin also led the Warriors into the NAIA national rankings in each of his first three seasons, reaching a high of No. 7 nationally during the 2011-2012 campaign. Team defense was also a hallmark of his Warrior teams, with Indiana Tech ranked in the top 10 defensively each of his four seasons, including a No. 1 national computer ranking in 2010-2011. Team GPAs also rose under Grushkin, to nearly 3.0 this season with five team members at 3.6 or above. Heading into this season, the Warriors had five WHAC Academic All-Conference athletes and three NAIA scholar-athletes during Grushkin\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p>A search for Grushkin\u2019s successor at Indiana Tech has begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-898","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
