Boston College men’s basketball added five new staff members on Friday afternoon, giving first-year head coach Luke Murray a deeper support system heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
The group is built mostly around player development. Jared Jordan is the new director of player development, with Andre Berry and Gilvydas Biruta joining him in that area. Chris Mastrangelo will handle basketball administration, and Charlie Weisberg comes aboard as a graduate assistant.
Jordan brings a long playing résumé to Chestnut Hill. The Hartford, Conn., native spent 13 years playing professionally overseas, with stops in Germany, Greece, Romania and Spain. In Germany’s Bundesliga, he led the league in assists three times from 2016-18 and finished his career as the all-time assists leader.
His college track record was just as decorated. At Marist, Jordan earned AP Honorable Mention All-American recognition in 2007 after leading the NCAA in assists in back-to-back seasons. He also won the Haggerty Award as a senior before the Los Angeles Clippers picked him No. 45 overall in the 2007 NBA Draft.
"I'm thrilled to bring Jared and his family to Boston College,” Murray said in the press release. “When putting together a coaching staff, recruiting a diverse set of experiences and points of view was crucial to me.
Jared was the 45th pick in the NBA draft, and enjoyed a terrific career in Europe. He knows modern basketball, and his deep understanding of the international game will help us align our player development efforts with our style of play."
Berry arrives after four seasons at UConn as a player development assistant under Dan Hurley, a stretch that included contributions to two national championship runs. Before coaching, he played at Rhode Island from 2015-18, helping the Rams reach the NCAA Tournament twice while winning the 2017 Atlantic 10 championship and the 2018 A-10 regular-season title. He also spent four years overseas across Spain, Finland and Ireland.
Biruta comes in with a path that has taken him through the G League and overseas. He spent one year with the Windy City Bulls as a video coordinator and player development coach, then worked the 2024-25 season as an assistant coach for the Grand Rapids Gold.
As a player, he scored 1,200 points across his college stops at URI and Rutgers, then joined the Nuggets Summer League team in 2015. The Lithuanian spent the next eight years playing for 10 international franchises before 2023, and also represented his country at the 2007 FIBA Europe U-16 and 2008 FIBA Europe U-18 Championships.
Mastrangelo also comes to BC from the Hurley coaching tree. He spent one year at St. Peter’s as director of basketball operations after seven seasons at UConn, where he worked as a student manager from 2018-21, a graduate assistant from 2021-23 and assistant director of basketball operations from 2023-25.
“Chris is a worker,” Murray said. “During his time at Connecticut, Chris proved himself to be a true team guy, and someone who exhibits great commitment and loyalty. We're really pleased to welcome him to BC."
Weisberg is the youngest addition to the group and is starting his coaching career with the Eagles. He played at Skidmore College from 2024-26 and at Loyola Maryland during the 2021-22 and 2023-24 seasons. Murray said Weisberg came recommended by former Loyola, Rutgers and UConn guard Cam Spencer, now with the Memphis Grizzlies.
“I've coached no greater competitor than Cam, and his word means a great deal to me,” Murray said.

Javarius Green Embraces A Boston College Number That Carries Real Pressure
Javarius Green is stepping into Boston College with a little more weight on his jersey than most incoming wideouts. The North Carolina transfer has taken No. 4, a number that already means something around Chestnut Hill after being worn by Zay Flowers and later Lewis Bond, and Green has made it clear he views it as an honor rather than a burden.
Green said the opportunity to wear that number was part of what drew him to Boston College, along with his conversations with Lewis Bond and coach Bill O'Brien. For a receiver trying to carve out his own place, it is a straightforward challenge: follow a familiar path, embrace the expectations and try to build a career worthy of a number that has already carried real significance for the Eagles.
