Coach Asbell joined the Goldey-Beacom College coaching staff in the 2006-07 academic year. After spending two seasons as the assistant golf coach at Wilmington College, he accepted the head coaching position here at GBC. 

In four years, he has guided the Lightning golf program to continued success. Starting in 2006-07, he led GBC to a second-place team finish in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) and a fifth-place finish in the region. His team also featured a Northeast Regional qualifier and an All-CACC performer.

The 2007-08 season marked a third-place CACC finish and two All-CACC golfers to add to Asbell's growing resume.

Then in 2008-09, he led the Lightning to a tie for second in the CACC and a 15th-place finish in the region. Among his players, he had two All-CACC performers and the rookie of the year. For his efforts, he was named the conference coach of the year.

The 2009-10 season saw Asbell's up-and-coming squad place third at the conference meet and 19th at the Atlantic/East Regional. Two players earned All-CACC distinctions.
