McClintock is in his first season as Director of Athletics at Ottawa University

A 2009 graduate of Ottawa University and member of the Braves Athletic Hall of Fame, McClintock returns to his alma mater after a successful collegiate coaching and leadership career, most recently serving as head men’s basketball coach at Friends University.

 McClintock also carries forward the legacy of his former Ottawa University coach, the late Andy Carrier. Carrier, one of the most respected figures in Braves Athletics history, served Ottawa University for more than three decades as a coach, mentor, and athletic administrator. His leadership helped shape generations of student-athletes and coaches while establishing a culture of excellence, integrity, and service that continues to define Braves Athletics today. McClintock has credited Carrier’s mentorship and leadership philosophy as instrumental in his own development as a coach and administrator.
 
As a student-athlete at Ottawa University, McClintock earned NAIA Honorable Mention All-America honors twice and was a two-time First Team All-KCAC selection. He helped lead the Braves to a regular season conference championship, conference tournament championship and two NAIA Division II Sweet 16 appearances and remains one of the most accomplished players in program history.
 
McClintock also spent eight years on the Braves men’s basketball coaching staff while also leading the University’s golf programs for four of those years. In 2020, he helped guide the men's basketball team to a school-record 28-win season, a KCAC championship, and an NAIA Division II National Tournament Sweet 16 appearance.
 
During his tenure at Friends University, McClintock led the men’s basketball program to significant growth and competitiveness within the Kansas Collegiate Athletic ConferenceKnown for his emphasis on culture, accountability, and student-athlete development, he helped elevate the program both on the court and in the classroom while building strong recruiting pipelines throughout the region. McClintock led the Falcons to back-to-back National Tournament appearances, and his 2025-26 student-athletes ended the year with a 3.3 GPA. In 2025, he was named the KCAC Coach of the Year and the KBCA 4-year Coach of the Year in 2026.
