A Strategic Refresh for the Panthers
Milwaukee's men's basketball program announced a series of promotions that will reshape its leadership structure for the upcoming 2026‑27 season, signaling a renewed focus on data‑driven strategy and operational efficiency.
Will Glisky, who has served the Panthers for three years including a stint as video coordinator, now steps into the role of Director of Scouting and Analytics, a position that will place him at the helm of data‑driven opponent breakdowns and film study.
Cooper Janicki, a former Milwaukee student manager who climbed the ranks to graduate assistant and assistant operations director, will assume the title of Director of Basketball Operations, overseeing travel logistics, day‑to‑day coordination and the program’s operational workflow.
Leadership Built on Experience
Bart Lundy, the team’s head coach, praised the two executives, highlighting their work ethic, professionalism and the tangible contributions they have already made to the program.
Glisky’s career path blends on‑court coaching experience at Minnesota State University Moorhead with a tenure at South Dakota State University, giving him a unique perspective that merges analytical rigor with practical game‑day insight.
Janicki’s four‑year stint as a student manager provided him with an intimate understanding of the program’s culture, a foundation that now informs his approach to streamlining travel and daily logistics for the team.
The promotions aim to position both men for expanded responsibilities as the Panthers gear up for a competitive 2026‑27 campaign, reinforcing the program’s commitment to blending analytics with operational excellence.
