Former SDSU assistant brings over 35 years of experience in collegiate, pro ranks
Head coach Molly Miller and the Grand Canyon women's basketball program announced the hiring of Jason Glover as associate head coach Wednesday. The hiring is a homecoming for Glover, who was a baseball student-athlete and is a GCU graduate.
"Jason is a home run hire for our women's basketball program," said Miller. "The experience he brings from all levels will be a huge asset to our team. Â I think he is a great compliment to our staff, and I know he will invest in our student-athletes as basketball players and as people. The fact that he is a GCU alum makes this a fun full-circle moment, and I can't wait to get him back on campus to help our program reach our championship goals."
Glover comes to Phoenix via San Diego State, where he spent the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons as assistant coach. There, the Aztecs won their most games in a regular season since 2012-13 and set the school record for fewest turnovers in his first year on the sidelines.
Glover worked most recently in Berkeley at California, where he coached with the Golden Bears during summer training.
"I am beyond excited to come back to my alma mater as associate head coach at Grand Canyon University," Glover said. "It is a privilege once again to be a Lope. I want to thank head coach Molly Miller for this unique opportunity, and I look forward to assisting her and her staff in any way I can."
Glover's previous stops also include USC, where he was associate head coach from 2017-21, and he held the same title at New Mexico State during the 2016-17 season. During his time in Las Cruces, the Aggies went 24-7 with a 14-0 WAC record en route to the NCAA tournament.
Glover also had stints at the professional level, serving in 2012-13 as the associate head coach of the NBA G League's Reno Big Horns in the winter and the WNBA's Tulsa Shock that summer. During his time with the Shock, he coached WNBA All-Stars Liz Cambage, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Glory Johnson, Courtney Paris and Candice Wiggins.
He also worked with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2010-11 season as a player development and assistant coach, working with head coach Kurt Rambis and assistant coaches Reggie Theus and Bill Laimbeer while helping to develop young stars such as Michael Beasley and Kevin Love.
Glover's college coaching career started at Dixie State (now Utah Tech) as an assistant coach with the men's program from 1990-93 before taking the top assistant job with the Nevada men's program from 1993-2000. In addition to his coaching experience, Glover served 13 years (2000-13) as the executive director of the Nevada Basketball Academy, a Reno nonprofit that helped 30 student-athletes obtain college scholarships during his tenure.
Glover played baseball for the Lopes as a pitcher in 1985 and graduated with a bachelor's in physical education with a minor in biology.
