A graduate of Ithaca College, he spent the previous season at Amherst as an assistant coach after working in Beijing, China, for three years with the basketball program at The Affiliated High School of Peking University.
While in China, Griffith served two seasons as an assistant and one year as the head coach and director of basketball through a partnership with Montverde Academy (Fla). During his tenure, the team garnered a 67-8 record and a no. 1 national ranking.
