Dave Klatsky, former head coach of NYU's men's basketball team, has joined Todd Golden's coaching staff at the University of Florida, as reported by Swamp247. Klatsky, cousin of legendary Gators walk-on Alex Klatsky, brings a successful coaching record, leading NYU to impressive seasons including a 21-6 record in 2023-24 and consecutive Division III NCAA Tournament appearances in 2023 and 2024, known for his teams' strong 3-point shooting and assist-to-turnover ratios.
Prior to his stint at NYU, Klatsky served as an assistant coach at Colgate University and now reunites with Golden, emphasizing analytics in coaching strategies. Klatsky's family ties extend within the basketball program, being a brother-in-law to former Florida assistant coach Kevin Hovde and joining a coaching staff known for its coaching tree growth with Golden's leadership. This move highlights Klatsky's decision to transition from a head coaching role to an assistant position at a higher level of competition.
