Tom

SLYDER

Head Coach

70-131 OVERALL RECORD

9th Season as Head Coach

30-90 CCIW RECORD

2017 CCIW Co-Coach of the Year

The 2020-21 season will be the ninth for head men¡¯s basketball coach Tom Slyder. Slyder

began his leadership of the program in 2012.

At the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, Coach Slyder earned CCIW Co-Coach of the Year

honors after finishing with an overall record of 18-8 and a CCIW record of 11-5. Additionally,

Slyder saw three of his student-athletes honored as All-CCIW selections, including unanimous

first-team selections in Jordan Robinson and Juwan Henry.

Prior to North Park, Slyder served as the head coach at Anderson University in Anderson,

Indiana from 2005-2012, where he led the team to a 102-84 record, and were the regular

season conference champions in the 2009-10 season. This earned the Ravens an at-large bid

to the NCAA Division III National tournament where they defeated No.6-seeded St. Thomas

University in the first round. In addition, the 2009-10 squad¡¯s record of 23-6 earned Slyder

HCAC and Mideast Region Coach of the Year, and it was the Ravens first conference title

since the 1981-82 season.

In addition to being a successful head coach and assistant coach at Anderson for 19 years,

Slyder was also an accomplished athlete at Anderson as a four-year letter winner for the

men¡¯s basketball team from 1984-88. He earned team MVP honors as a senior and shot a

blistering 60 percent from the three-point line. He holds the single-season record in steals

with 68 and ranks second all-time at Anderson in that category. Slyder finished his career as

a Raven with 929 points and 380 assists, a mark which ranks eighth all-time at AU.

Slyder resides in Woodridge. He has three children: Taylor, Mallory and Allie.

Marlon

LONDON

Associate Head Coach

Marlon London enters his third year as

associate head coach for the North Park

University men¡¯s basketball program during

the 2020-21 season.

During his two year stint as a coach, London guided the 2016-2017 Flyers team that played

in the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship game. London also played at Kansas

University from 1998-2000 where he was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team.

London spent five years as an assistant boys basketball coach for St. Joseph¡¯s High School

in Westchester, Ill. While coaching, London played a key role in helping the Chargers to the

2015 IHSA Class 3A State Championship and saw seven of his student-athletes receive NCAA

Division I scholarships.

With both his playing and coaching background, London has deep ties to both the Chicago

and regional recruiting scene. His player development skills are evident in the studentathletes that have grown from London¡¯s tutelage.

One of those student-athletes was Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner, who was

drafted No. 2 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.
