From NYU Athletics

Brandon Newsome has joined New York University as an assistant men's basketball coach to complete head coach Dave Klatsky's staff for the 2023-24 campaign.

Newsome comes to NYU with multiple years of Division III coaching experience, most recently serving as an assistant at Wheaton College (MA) from 2021-23. At Wheaton, Newsome oversaw film and scouting operations and last year helped guide the Lyons to their first home playoff game since 2009. Newsome also assisted in the development of three all-conference honorees and a pair of 1,000-point scorers at Wheaton.

"We are extremely excited to welcome Brandon Newsome to the NYU community," Klatsky said. "Brandon joins us with DIII assistant experience from Wheaton and before that SUNY Canton. He brings with him a history of helping make his teams better, the ability to outwork his peers and, most importantly, exhibiting that he can be a high quality individual day in and day out. Brandon will be a valuable addition as we continue to grow our players both on and off the court."

Prior to Wheaton, Newsome worked as an assistant coach at SUNY Canton from 2019-21. He helped lead the Kangaroos to their first conference championship and NCAA Tournament berth in program history while leading all of the program's out-of-region recruiting efforts. Newsome also helped develop four all-conference selections, a Defensive Player of the Year recipient and conference tournament MVP while at Canton.

A 2019 graduate of Johnson & Wales University (RI) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports, Entertainment and Event Management with a concentration in Sports Management, Newsome was a member of the Wildcats men's basketball team and won the Great Northeast Athletic Conference championship in 2018.
