A New Chapter at Princeton
Princeton announced that Justin Bradley will serve as an assistant coach for its men's basketball program, a move that underscores the university's intent to bolster a staff already noted for strategic acumen and player connection.
Bradley's arrival follows a celebrated stint at Loyola‑Chicago, where he contributed to a 2024 Atlantic 10 regular‑season championship and helped the team secure consecutive 20‑win seasons while guiding the program to multiple NIT appearances. His work earned him a spot on Silver Waves Media's Most Impactful Mid‑Major Division I Assistant Coaches list for three straight years.
Prior to Loyola‑Chicago, Bradley honed his craft at several institutions. At Seattle University he helped achieve the program's highest NET ranking in history, while at Dartmouth he coached a group of All‑Ivy talents including Chris Knight, Dame Adelekun, Brendan Barry and Aaryn Rai. His time at Williams College culminated in an NCAA Division III Final Four run and two seasons ranked No. 5 nationally.
Bradley's academic background reflects a blend of political insight and athletic administration, holding a B.S. in Political Science from Guilford College (2013) and a master's degree in athletic administration from North Carolina Central University (2016).
Recognized as one of the nation's top young coaches, he was selected for the 2023 Jay Bilas Coaches Leadership program and earned a place on the National Association of Basketball Coaches' 30‑under‑30 list in 2018, accolades that highlight his growing influence in collegiate basketball.
