Michael Swann
Varsity Head Coach
In 2023-24, Coach Swann begins his 2nd season leading Irondale High School Girls Basketball Program. He has been coaching basketball for 21 years. Sixteen of those years were as the Boys Varsity Assistant at Benilde-St. Margaret’s and four years were with Varsity Girls Basketball at BSM as well. While at BSM he was also a football coach for the past 21 years. He has brought multiple teams to state tournaments during his coaching career and was offered scholarships in football and basketball in high school. He ultimately decided to play basketball in college at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota. After that, he played 2 pro years in the CBA for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. "I’m excited about returning for my 2nd season at Irondale. I look forward to the growth and development of these girls on and off the court." When not coaching, he enjoys spending time with his wife Kym, my daughters Makenzie and Morganie and my grandkids Liam and Owen & Mahzy.
Jason Ruis
Varsity Assistant Coach
Coach Ruis begins his 2nd season at Irondale. Sports, especially basketball, have been a primary focal point in my life since elementary school. Because of this, I learned at a very young age that hard work, dedication and patience were the keys to success in sports and in life. I played 4 years of varsity high school basketball, 2 years of junior college basketball, and was the captain of both of those teams. For 5 years, I was an assistant coach for boys Varsity at Legacy Christian Academy. I spent another 3 years as the girls JV coach and Assistant Varsity coach at Benilde St. Margaret’s High School. I’ve also coached 3 years of AAU Basketball with 43 Hoops. For the last 2 years, I’ve been assisting with Timberwolves Camps and PGC Camps. For the last 10 years, I have been working as a One-on-One Player Development Coach for basketball players of various ages and skill levels. I’m looking forward to being a part of the Irondale basketball family.
