Tray Woodall completed his third season at Fordham, second as the program’s associate head coach, in 2023-24.
 
This past season, Fordham continued to lay the foundation for future success.  The program picked up a number of notable wins, including a victory over reigning NIT Champion North Texas at Barclays Center, the program’s first-ever road win at Saint Louis, a triumph over eventual Atlantic 10 Champion Duquesne at a sold-out Rose Hill Gym and the team’s third Atlantic 10 Tournament win in as many years.  Kyle Rose earned his second straight to the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team, becoming the first player in program history to earn a spot on the team more than once.
 
With Woodall assuming an elevated role on the staff in 2022-23, Fordham enjoyed its best season in more than 30 years.  The Rams finished with their second highest win total in program history, going 25-8 overall.  Fordham’s 12-6 Atlantic 10 record marked both its highest win total and best winning percentage in the school’s three decades of Atlantic 10 membership.  The Rams finished tied for second in the final regular season standings, earned the no. 3 seed in the Atlantic 10 Championship and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament for just the second time.  

In addition to Keith Urgo being named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, three Rams garnered end-of-season individual honors from the A-10.  Darius Quisenberry was named to the All-Conference Second Team, Khalid Moore earned a place on the All-Conference Third Team and Kyle Rose grabbed a spot on the All-Defensive Team. 

In his first year at Fordham in 2021-22, Woodall helped the Rams to an amazing turnaround as Fordham logged a 16-16 overall record, a 14-win improvement from 2020-2021. The Rams won a second round Atlantic 10 Tournament game, reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 2007 and opened Atlantic 10 regular season play 2-0 for the first time since joining the conference in 1995. The Rams finished the season ranked 41st nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency according to KenPom, the highest rating in program history.
 
Woodall came to Fordham from St. Bonaventure, where he joined the men's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach in the summer of 2019 and helped the Bonnies to 35 victories and an Atlantic 10 championship in his two seasons with the program.
 
During his time with the Bonnies, he was instrumental in the development of guards Kyle Lofton and Jaren Holmes, each of whom were named Atlantic 10 All-Conference following the 2020-21 season. He also recruited Jalen Adaway, who was a key part of St. Bonaventure’s 2021 Atlantic 10 Championship squad and earned A-10 All-Tournament Team honors during his first season with the team.
 
A star player during his collegiate days at Pitt, Woodall joined the Bonnies after spending two years on the coaching staff at Robert Morris. Woodall earned a promotion to assistant coach for the 2018-19 season after spending the previous year as director of basketball operations. In his final year at Robert Morris, Woodall helped the Colonials finish with an 18-17 overall record including an 11-7 mark in the Northeast Conference and a first-round victory in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
 
A native of Paterson, N.J., by way of the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, N.Y., Woodall previously spent the 2016-17 campaign as an assistant coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In his first year coaching, Woodall helped guide the Crimson Hawks to an overall record of 28-4 (.875), including a mark of 21-1 (.955) in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference while IUP advanced to the second round of the 2017 NCAA Division II Tournament after winning the PSAC West regular season title.
 
A 2013 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a minor in communications, Woodall went on to a professional career that saw him play in Turkey, Greece and Kosovo, and Mexico. He earned a Turkish Cup championship during his professional career as well. 

While at Pitt, Woodall appeared in 139 career games including 75 starts as the Panthers' point guard. He produced averages of 8.0 points, 4.2 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.6 percent from the field. Woodall concluded his career with totals of 1,108 points, 580 assists and 116 steals. He is one of seven players in program history to eclipse career totals of 1,000 points and 500 assists. During his Pitt playing career he helped the Panthers to three NCAA Tournaments, including a No. 1 seed in 2011 and No. 3 seed in 2010, as well as a CBI championship in 2012. The Panthers also won the 2011 Big East regular season championship during a season that saw the conference send a tournament record 11 teams to March Madness. 
 
A 2008 graduate of St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, where he lettered four seasons for head coach Bob Hurley, Woodall guided St. Anthony to a perfect 32-0 record, No. 1 national ranking and national championship by USA Today. In three seasons, his St. Anthony teams lost just three games.
