Edward S. Conroy (born February 17, 1967) is an American college basketball coach who is currently serving his second stint as the head coach of The Citadel Bulldogs. He previously served as the associate head coach for the Vanderbilt Commodores and as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Conroy is a former head men's basketball coach at Tulane University, being hired in April 2010.[1] Conroy was officially relieved of his duties as Tulane head coach on March 14, 2016.[2]

Conroy announced his return to The Citadel on March 23, 2022. During his first stint as head coach there from 2006-2010, he led the Bulldogs to their first 20-win season in over 30 years during the 2008-2009 season, in which the Bulldogs made the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament-to date, the only postseason appearance in school history. He was selected as the SoCon Coach of the Year by the league's head coaches and media members. He was also named the NABC District 22 Coach of the Year, CollegeInsider.com Coach of the Year and the Skip Prosser Man of the Year.[3]
