SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – Dominican athletics announced Monday the hiring of Greg Rahn as its new head men's basketball coach beginning June 2026. 

"Dominican looks forward to bringing Coach Rahn back to campus to lead our men's basketball program," athletic director Amy Henkelman said. "He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position with a history in developing student-athletes on and off the court. He is prepared to lead young people to have success, graduate and prepare them for life after college. Coach Rahn has an additional boost of energy that is hard to match. I can't wait to step into this new era as a Dominican Penguin."

Rahn returns to Dominican where he helped the Penguins women's basketball team to several top finishes in the PacWest conference while building a defense that finished No. 13 nationally in steals per game and No. 23 in turnovers forced per game. Rahn helped develop Brittney Cedeno into the most disruptive defender in Dominican history as she finished with a career record 253 steals and a NCAA Division II leading 3.0 steals per game on her way to being named PacWest Defender of the Year. He left the Penguins to become an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco while also leading the Bay Area Phoenix in the Women's Premier Basketball Association.

"I am incredibly excited and honored to return to the Penguins as the head men's basketball coach," Rahn said. "I want to sincerely thank Amy [Henkelman] and the entire search committee for believing in my vision and entrusting me with the opportunity to lead this program. Dominican has always aligned with my values and returning to a university and community that mean so much to me and my family is truly special. I'm committed to working alongside the department and campus leadership to provide an exceptional student-athlete experience centered on growth in the classroom, on the court, and in the community. I can't wait to get to work building a program that our students, alumni, and supporters will take pride in for years to come."

Rahn has experience in both the men's and women's game as he began his collegiate coaching career as the head coach for the men's team at Pacific Union College. Rahn led the Pioneers to never before realized heights on the men's side as they won their first and only California Pacific Conference title with a 71-70 upset of Cal Maritime in the title game advancing to the NAIA National Tournament. Rahn left PUC after six seasons as the winningest coach with eight players having received all-conference honors. He has served in a variety of developmental roles at all levels of basketball and holds coaching certifications from FIBA and USA Basketball. Rahn served as a youth camp coach and skills trainer for the Golden State Warriors with players such as Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jordan Bell, Damian Jones, Shaun Livingston and Zaza Pachulia. He also served as the head coach and director for the Bay Valley Generals in the AAU for 10 seasons and was an assistant varsity coach for Brea-Olinda High School for two seasons. 

Rahn graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in business administration and has a master's in sports administration from Arkansas State. A native of Pittsburg, California, Rahn holds deep roots in the Bay Area where he resides with his wife and child.
