SAN JOSE, Calif. - Jeff Strohm has been named San José State assistant men's basketball coach, announced by head coach Tim Miles on Tuesday. Strohm has almost 30 years of successful coaching experience at multiple universities and colleges and prior to SJSU, Strohm was an assistant coach and Director of Basketball Operations at Loyola Marymount from 2016-20.
"I'm very pleased to add Jeff to our coaching staff," Miles said. "He's got tremendous experience and wide ranging abilities in many areas that will help our program. He's worked for some of the best coaches in college basketball in Rick Majerus, Tom Crean and Mike Dunlap. He understands what it will take to move San José State forward in the Mountain West Conference. I had good fortune to work with Jeff for one season when I was at Colorado State and he was immensely helpful to our program. I know his contributions will even be much larger here at San José State."
"I am so appreciative, excited and honored to join Coach Miles and the entire SJSU basketball program," Strohm said. "I have enjoyed watching Coach Miles year after year build successful teams and am looking forward with great enthusiasm to fulfilling my role daily in the program and impacting the lives of our student-athletes."
Throughout his coaching tenure, he coached in one NCAA National Championship game in 1998 with Utah, two Final Four appearances (Utah, Marquette) and has nine 20 win seasons. Strohm also recruited and coached No. 1 NBA draft pick Andrew Bogut (Milwaukee Bucks). He also has seven conference championships and has coached 15 NBA players with five being All-Americans. Some of those coached by Strohm have been Olympians, All-NBA Team players, All-Rookie team players and NBA champions, plus he's coached eight conference of the year players. Strohm is also very proud of coaching four Academic All-Americans.
