SAN DIEGO – Head women's basketball coach Stacie Terry-Hutson has announced the hiring of Jason Glover as an assistant coach.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jason Glover into our Aztec program," Terry-Hutson said. "He is a proven winner in both the collegiate and professional ranks, and his focus on positively impacting the lives of student-athletes is infectious. He is well-liked and very respected in the basketball community and comes to us with tons of experience. The more and more I talked to him, I noticed how much our values aligned and am excited to add another valuable perspective to our staff."
Glover was most recently the Associate Head Coach at USC (2017-21) and brings over 30 years of coaching experience to SDSU including 15+ years at the DI level. Glover, who has spent time in the NBA, WNBA, NBA G-League and junior college, is known for being an X's and O's tactician and has an impressive track record in player development.
"I am beyond excited for the opportunity to join the Aztec family and especially Coach Terry-Hutson's staff," Glover explained. "I spent a lot of time as a student-athlete here at San Diego State, and now to come back years later as a coach is very special. I love Coach Terry-Hutson's vision for the future of the Aztec program and hope my past experiences will help contribute to Aztecs wins on and off the court."
Glover, who attended SDSU for two years, has spent the past eight seasons as an associate head coach at the DI level. He was at USC for the last four years coaching under Mark Trakh, who he also coached with at New Mexico State for the 2016-17 season. That year the Aggies went 24-7 and 14-0 in the WAC and reached the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to that, Glover spent three years at Utah Valley, where the Wolverines doubled their win count from Glover's first year to his third.
Glover worked in professional basketball from 2008-13. In 2012-13, he was the associate head coach of the Reno Bighorns of the NBA's G-League in the winter and the associate head coach of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock in the summer. He finished off the 2013 season as the Bighorns' interim head coach.
While with the Shock, he coached WNBA All-Stars Liz Cambage, Skyler Diggins, Glory Johnson, Courtney Paris and Candice Wiggins, in addition to SDSU hall of famer Jené Morris.
During the 2010-11 season, he served as the Minnesota Timberwolves' player development and assistant coach where he worked with Kurt Rambis, Reggie Theus and Bill Laimbeer and helped develop young stars such as Michael Beasley and Kevin Love.
Glover moved into the professional coaching ranks in 2008 when he spent two seasons with the Bighorns, serving as the team's director of operations and as an assistant coach.
Glover began his DI coaching career on the men's side. He started off at Dixie State in 1990, spending three years with the Rebels. There he coached under Dave Rose, who would later go on to lead BYU to 11-straight 20-win seasons. Dixie State was ranked in the top-10 of the NJCAA twice during his tenure.
From Dixie State, he went to Nevada where he coached the Wolfpack's men's squad for seven seasons (1993-2000) as Pat Foster's top assistant.
Glover was the executive director of the Nevada Basketball Academy in Reno from 2000-13, a non-profit organization where he helped over 30 student athletes get college scholarships over his 13 years.
Glover was a pitcher on the Aztec baseball team from 1981-83 before transferring to Grand Canyon. Playing for Aztec hall of fame coach Jim Dietz, he had a career record of 11-0 and was part of two nationally ranked teams that made the postseason. During his two years at SDSU, the Aztecs went 120-45-3, including a 21-3 in the WAC in 1983.
Glover received his bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University in physical education with a minor in biology. He has two sons (Jace & Jordan) and two grandkids.
