Jason Glover returned to his alma mater in 2023 and will begin his second season as Associate Head Coach of the Grand Canyon women's basketball team for the 2024-25 season.
Taking a part in the offensive sets for the Lopes in 2023-24, GCU ranked first in the WAC and 40th in the nation in field goal percentage (44.6) while also ranking second in the conference in three point percentage (32.4) and fourth in assists per game (15.0). The Lopes scored 69.5 points per game while limiting opponents to 56.2, totaling 425 more points on the offensive end then their opposition.Â
GCU had two players in double figures and five players average nine or more points in 2023-24, led by Trinity San Antonio (11.5) and Tiarra Brown (10.3). The Lopes' production was seen by many on any given night, with three players totaling 80+ assists on the season with the team having a +143 assist ratio against its opponents. GCU's three point shooting significantly increased in 2023-24, with five players shooting 33% or higher, led by Sydney Erikstrup with a 40% mark from beyond the arc.
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. He most recently worked in Berkeley at California, where he coached with the Golden Bears during summer training.
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.
