A Strategic Shift for Milwaukee Basketball
Milwaukee’s men’s basketball program received a clear signal of confidence as head coach Bart Lundy unveiled two key promotions ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.
Will Glisky, who has served the Panthers since the 2025‑26 season, now steps into the role of Director of Scouting and Analytics, a position that will place analytics, film study and opponent scouting at the forefront of the staff’s preparation.
Cooper Janicki, previously a graduate assistant and assistant operations director for three seasons, ascends to Director of Basketball Operations, where he will oversee travel coordination, logistics and the day‑to‑day management of the program.
Building on Experience
Glisky’s ascent follows a trajectory that began with his stint as a student manager at South Dakota State University and a coaching apprenticeship at Minnesota State University Moorhead, experiences that have honed his analytical acumen and film‑breakdown expertise.
Janicki’s three‑year run as a graduate assistant and his subsequent role as operations director have already familiarized him with the logistical demands of collegiate basketball, positioning him to streamline travel and daily operations for the Panthers.
Leadership’s Praise
In announcing the moves, Lundy praised the duo’s work ethic, noting that they consistently go above and beyond, and he expressed optimism that their expanded responsibilities will sharpen the team’s competitive edge.
The promotions reflect a broader strategy to integrate advanced analytics and efficient operational frameworks, signaling that the Panthers are positioning themselves for sustained growth in the highly competitive landscape of college basketball.
A New Era of Preparation
With Glisky’s analytical lens and Janicki’s logistical mastery, the Panthers aim to translate data‑driven insights and seamless operations into on‑court success, setting the stage for an ambitious 2026‑27 season.
