Wake Forest University announced a series of leadership changes within its men's basketball program, naming Jalen Bean as the new video coordinator and promoting Frank Davis to chief of staff.
A Strategic Boost for the Demon Deacons
Bean will oversee scouting operations, conduct film analysis, and produce social‑media content for the Demon Deacons, building on a trajectory that already includes a stint at Ole Miss where he contributed to a Sweet Sixteen run.
At Ole Miss, Bean supervised the recording of practice sessions, edited game footage, and supported the coaching staff with scouting and recruiting, while also managing in‑game challenges and appeals.
His contributions helped the Rebels advance deep into the 2024‑25 season, a performance that underscored his analytical acumen and attention to detail.
Prior to his collegiate work, Bean served as a student assistant coach at Southwest Mississippi State Community College, where he completed studies in multidisciplinary studies and earned a master's degree in sports administration from Ole Miss.
Looking Forward
The university hopes the new appointments will translate into stronger on‑court performance and a more connected community, leveraging modern media to broaden the program’s reach.
