A new face on the Bearcats' bench
Andrew Bittle has been named the video coordinator for the University of Cincinnati men's basketball program, a role that places him at the heart of the team's analytical and visual operations.
Bittle arrives after a four‑year tenure at the University of Illinois, where he served as a graduate assistant and head student manager during the latter two years. His contributions helped the Illini secure a spot in the 2024 Final Four.
During his time in Champaign, Bittle oversaw scouting reports and post‑game analytic documentation, coordinated bench video feeds on game days, and produced edits that highlighted opponent offensive patterns and personnel usage.
He also managed technological operations for the team, ensuring that video equipment functioned smoothly and that data could be accessed quickly by coaches and players.
A 2025 graduate of Illinois, Bittle brings a blend of academic insight and hands‑on experience, having worked as a student manager for four seasons before stepping into a leadership role.
His appointment signals a continued evolution of the Bearcats' approach to video preparation as the program gears up for its November debut at Fifth Third Arena.
The new era of Cincinnati men’s basketball is set to begin in November, with Bittle’s expertise expected to enhance the team's strategic preparation and in‑game adjustments.
