Bringing in more than 20 years of coaching experience, Bryan Camacho begins his first season as assistant coach of the Grand Canyon women's basketball team in 2024-25.
Camacho has coached all levels of basketball, from high school to the Division I level on both the men's and women's side. He recently was head coach of Central Arizona's women's basketball program in 2023-24. Prior to that, he spent six seasons on the sidelines at Long Beach State as an assistant, beginning in 2017-18. He helped guide the Beach to three Big West quarterfinal appearances and a semifinal showing in 2022-23 after a 23-10 season that included a trip to the WNIT.
At Long Beach State, he coached several All-Big West honorees, including Big West Player of the Year Tori Harris, All-Big West Defensive Player of the Year Maddi Utti and two-time Big West All-Defensive Team player Justina King. GCU forward Kristyna Jeskeova earned Defensive POTY honors in 2022-23 under Camacho and returns to the Lopes this year after redshirting last season.
Before his stint at Long Beach State, Camacho spent six seasons as the girls basketball head coach at Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California, where he compiled a 165-44 record that included six consecutive California Intersholastic Federation Tournament appearances and five Mission League titles. He reached the 2013 CIF Division III championship and reached the Southern Region championship game in CIF DI the following season.
His success in the CIF is noted among the state, as he is one of few coaches to lead two separate California High School girls basketball teams to state championship titles, doing so at Bellarmine-Jefferson High School and Bishop Alemany. He served as head coach of Bellarmine-Jefferson High School from 2008-10, compiling a 185-51 record and winning the Santa Cruz League title in three-peat fashion.
Â
Camacho's resume also includes stops at CSUN, where he was an assistant coach for the women's team in Northridge, California, and was responsible for team training, scouting recruiting, fundraising, budget maintenance, video exchange and conditioning and strength training.Â
Â
Camacho also has experience coaching on the men's side as he served as an assistant coach at University of Great Falls in Montana and Chaminade College Preparatory in Califronia.
Prior to coaching Camacho was a captain at College of the Canyons, leading the team to a Western State Conference title and was selected as an all-conference player.Â
Â
He earned an associate's degree from College of the Canyons and graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in history.
