Austin Sleight joins the Spartans after spending four seasons with Miles at the University of Nebraska where he was the Cornhuskers’ head manager. In the role, he directed a staff of up to 15 managers while performing various duties to help the coaching staff with day-to-day and game day activities.
“Austin worked with us at Nebraska and will excel in the video role,” Miles said. “He knows how our operation works and is valuable for us in every capacity, from basketball to recruiting.”
Sleight spent the 2020-21 season as a graduate assistant and video coordinator for Stephen F. Austin, where he was in control of all video for basketball related activities, including breaking down opponent scouting materials, providing video analysis for opponents and self-scouting for games and practices, among many other duties. He will hold a similar role for San Jose State as the program’s new video coordinator.
“I would like to thank Coach Miles for the opportunity to be a part of such a great program,” Sleight said. “It’s been great getting to know all the assistant coaches we have in place – David Miller, Ben Johnson, Damany Hendrix and our director of operations, Trent Miyagishima. San Jose, as a city and program, has been great since the first day I got here. I’m looking forward to this upcoming season and think that we will be extremely successful for years to come.”
