Former Arizona guard and graduate assistant Justin Coleman has been named Tennessee Tech's new director of basketball operations.
The "DBO" positions are typically next in line for a coaching role on the floor, putting Coleman on a track to become a fulltime college coach, something he expressed interest in as an Arizona player.
After playing for Alabama and Samford as an undergraduate, Coleman committed to Arizona and played the 2018-19 season as UA's starting point guard and fourth-leading scorer.
Coleman then stayed on Sean Miller's staff as a graduate assistant in 2019-20 and 2020-21. He finished his master's degree in education in 2019 and has been working on a dissertation over the past two academic years.
