Ryan Reynolds spent one season on the Wake Forest basketball staff as the Assistant Coordinator of Operations in 2008-09.

Reynolds was responsible for assisting with team travel, meals, scheduling and other logistics within the basketball office. He also managed the day-to-day operation of the recruiting databases and coordinated the recruiting mail-outs to prospective student-athletes and coaches.

Reynolds joined the Wake Forest staff in July of 2008. He came to Winston-Salem after spending the previous five years at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Reynolds spent five seasons with the Musketeers men's basketball program, four as an undergraduate student manager and one as the Graduate Program Assistant.

As the Graduate Program Assistant, his duties included preparing scouting videos, film exchange, equipment, assisting with recruiting administrative tasks, organizing the logistics of the managers and assisting with team travel.

As an undergraduate, Reynolds served as the head manager for two seasons. He was responsible for the on-floor coordination of practice responsibilities, laundry and other logistical duties.

Reynolds was a part of four NCAA tournament teams in five years at Xavier, including the 2004 and 2008 teams that advanced to the Elite Eight. Xavier teams won the Atlantic 10 Tournament or regular season championship in four of the five years he was there. Reynolds worked under coach Thad Matta for one season in 2003-04 and Sean Miller for four seasons from 2005-08.

"We are very fortunate to have Ryan join our staff," said Wake Forest head coach Dino Gaudio upon Reynolds' hiring in 2008. "He comes from a great basketball family in Cincinnati, and he also gained a wealth of experience in his five years at Xavier. With his background, Ryan will be a tremendous addition to our staff."

Reynolds is a 2007 graduate of Xavier, earning a bachelor's degree in sports management with a minor in business. He completed his master's degree in Sport Administration from Xavier in December of 2008.

A native of Cincinnati, Reynolds attended Madeira High School playing basketball and football.
