NAIA NEWS: Gregg named Women’s Basketball Head Coach at Dickinson State

Dickinson State University Director of Athletics Pete Stanton has announced the hiring of Keithan Gregg as the next head coach of the Blue Hawk women’s basketball program.

Gregg brings more than a decade of collegiate coaching experience to Dickinson State, with a strong background in player development, recruiting, and program building at multiple levels of college basketball.

“We are thrilled to have Keithan Gregg as the next women’s basketball coach at Dickinson State,” said Stanton. “He has experience at all levels of college basketball with great success. In addition, his extensive recruiting background and ties throughout Montana and the West will serve our program and university well. We look forward to this new chapter in Blue Hawk women’s basketball with Keithan as our leader.”

“I am extremely grateful to President Scott Molander, Director of Athletics Pete Stanton, and the entire search committee for the opportunity to serve as the next head women’s basketball coach at Dickinson State University,” Gregg said. “My family and I are excited to join the Dickinson community and begin building a program that Blue Hawk fans will be proud of.”

Gregg most recently served as associate head coach at Idaho State University, where he was elevated to the role ahead of the 2025-26 season. Prior to his time at Idaho State, Gregg spent 10 seasons with the Portland State women’s basketball program, including four years as associate head coach after beginning as director of basketball operations. 

During his tenure at Portland State, Gregg played a key role in one of the most significant turnarounds in program history. The Vikings improved from an 0-20 conference record in 2021-22 to an 8-10 mark in 2022-23, one of the largest single-season improvements in the Big Sky Conference. 

Known for his defensive expertise and late-game strategy, Gregg helped guide Portland State to major statistical improvements, including a significant reduction in points allowed and a jump to near the top of the conference in scoring defense. He also contributed heavily to the development of perimeter players, with the Vikings consistently ranking among the top three-point shooting teams in the conference. 

Gregg was also part of the Vikings’ 2018-19 Big Sky Conference Tournament championship team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. That squad finished 25-8 overall and ranked among national leaders in multiple defensive categories. 

In addition to his time at Portland State, Gregg has coaching experience at the University of Providence, Ashland High School, and has served in various roles including recruiting coordinator, scouting coordinator, and camp director. 

A native of Cut Bank, Montana, Gregg has strong recruiting ties throughout the West and brings extensive experience identifying and developing talent both domestically and internationally. 

Gregg earned his master’s degree in organizational management and his bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Providence.
