Andrew "Andy" Newman (born April 14, 1975) is an American basketball coach who is currently the head coach of the Cal State Northridge Matadors men's basketball team.[1] He is the younger brother of Eric Newman.

Playing career

Newman played college basketball at three institutions. He started at West Valley College before transferring to Southern Utah where he appeared in 26 games.[2] He'd complete his college playing career at Azusa Pacific where he was part of the Cougars' NAIA Final Four team.[1]

Coaching career

Newman's coaching career began with assistant coaching stops at Vanguard University, West Valley, and an administrative role at Fresno State before he joined Bob Burton's staff at Cal State Fullerton. After Burton was fired in 2012, Newman was named the interim coach for the 2012–13 season.[3][4] In his lone season with the Titans, Newman compiled a 14–18 overall record.[5]

In 2013, Newman would become the head coach at NCAA Division II institution UT Permian Basin where in five seasons he put together a 101–50 overall record including a Lone Star Conference regular season and tournament title, as well as two NCAA tournament appearances, culminating in a Sweet 16 bid in 2018.[6][1]

Newman returned to California in 2018 when he accepted the head coaching position at Cal State San Bernardino.[7] While with the Coyotes, Newman totaled a 91–30 overall record, including two California Collegiate Athletic Association conference tournament titles along with a regular season title, and guided the team to a Division II Final Four appearance in 2023.[8][9]

On April 15, 2023, Newman was named the head coach at Cal State Northridge, replacing Trent Johnson.[10][11]
