HEAD COACH MATT MCCALLMatt McCall was named the 22nd head coach for University of Massachusetts men’s basketball on March 29, 2017. In his second season at UMass, McCall’s squad scored 70.7 points per game on the year to rank fifth among Atlantic 10 teams while ranking second in the league in field goal percentage from beyond the arc at 35-percent. Jonathan Laurent led the way in the A-10 with a 46.7-percent clip from deep with Carl Pierre posting the third-best percentage in the league. The Minutemen picked up a home win over rival Rhode Island behind Pierre’s 22 points and added a win over league-leader Davidson. UMass had early signature wins over Georgia and Providence during McCall’s first year at the helm, adding a pair of wins over A-10 foe Dayton to mark the first time in series history that UMass has earned two wins over the Flyers in the same season with the first set of consecutive wins for the Minutemen in over 10 seasons. Sophomore Luwane Pipkins was tabbed all-region and the A-10’s Most Improved Player after averaging more than 20 points per contest to join the likes of Julius Erving and Marcus Camby as players to average 20-plus in a single season. Spending the previous two seasons at Chattanooga, McCall held a head coaching record of 48-18 with marks of 25-11 in league action and 24-4 at home. Under his tutelage, Justin Tuoyo was a two-time Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Pacing the Mocs to a 19-12 record in 2016-17, Tuoyo led the conference in blocks while ranking sixth nationally at 2.9 per game.
In his first campaign at Chattanooga, McCall’s squad set a school record with 29 wins, captured the SoCon Regular Sea-son and Tournament Championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The 29 wins were the most in the nation by a first-year head coach in 2015-16. The total is tied for seventh-best since 1962.
The tourney crown and NCAA appearance were the first for UTC since 2009. The regular-season league title was the Mocs’ first since 1994. The previous wins record of 27 dated back to the 1982 season (27-4), matching the total the 1977 NCAA Division II National Champions posted (27-5).
In 2015-16, the Mocs generated momentum with victories at Georgia, Illinois and Dayton. The win over the Flyers snapped their 26-game home winning streak. McCall earned Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors as the squad featured All-SoCon performers in Tuoyo and Tre’ McLean.
McCall spent 11 seasons, over two stops, with Billy Donovan at Florida. After five seasons as a manager and graduate assistant, he was named Director of Basketball Operations (2006-08) before returning to Gainesville as assistant coach prior to the 2011-12 season.
In total, McCall was part of four SEC titles, four SEC Tournament titles, two NCAA Elite Eights, a Final Four and two NCAA titles. The 2013-14 Gators won 30-straight games, with an 18-0 SEC ledger, before a loss to eventual National Champion UConn in the Final Four. In four seasons with the Gators’ coaching staff, he helped land a top-five recruiting class in 2013, which included two McDonald’s All-Americans in Chris Walker and Kasey Hill. The Gators also had a top-10 group in 2014. McCall was instru-mental in adding All-SEC guard Michael Frazier and DeVon Walker in the 2012 class. Between stints in Gainesville, McCall was an assistant under Mike Jarvis at Florida Atlantic for three seasons. The Owls went just 6-26 in that first season (2008-09), accumulated 14 wins in 2009-10 and put together the school’s best Division I campaign with a 21-11 mark in 2010-11. FAU’s 2010-11 squad won the Sun Belt Regular Season title and earned just the second postseason berth in FAU history (2011 NIT). McCall’s recruiting efforts netted such notables as Greg Gantt, Dennis Mavin and Raymond Taylor. Gantt ranked among the league and national leaders in scoring and three-point shooting during his Owl career. McCall and his wife, Allison (Rios), are the parents of daughters Brooklyn and Kylie. He earned his undergraduate degree in exercise and sports science from Florida in 2004 and went on to earn a master’s degree in the same concentration in May 2006, also from Florida.

Tony Bergeron joined Matt McCall’s staff prior to the 2019-20 campaign. Bergeron joined the Minuteman program after winning over 400 games coaching prep and high school basketball, most recently at Woodstock Academy (Conn.).
“We have been very fortunate to add people like Tony Bergeron and Tyson Wheeler to our staff,” said McCall. “They have tremendous basketball backgrounds and have been successful at every point in their careers. Both bring a passion for UMass that will help build and develop a new culture for our program.”
At Woodstock, Bergeron coached the Centaurs to a 38-2 record during his final season in 2018-19 as the team jumped to a No. 2 national ranking after posting a 35-5 record during 2017-18. He was also the program director of the Prep Gold and Blue teams at Woodstock.
Bergeron made stops at Commonwealth Academy from 2012-17 after guiding East Longmeadow to its only Western Massachusetts Championship in 2010. Prior to that, he led American Christian Academy (Pa.) and Wings Academy (N.Y.) to USA Today Top-25 rankings and helped The MacDuffie School to a NEPSAC Class E title. For nearly 15 years, Bergeron worked as a program director for the Five-Star Basketball Camp, a camp that has helped produce over 500 NBA and over 10,000 Division I players.
Bergeron graduated from The King’s College in 1994 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education.

Lucious Jordan was promoted to an assistant coaching role leading into the 2019-20 campaign after joining Matt McCall’s staff prior to the 2017-18 season as the team’s director of operations. Jordan arrived at UMass after one year as the direc-tor of operations at his alma mater, Albany, in 2016-17. Prior to his time with the Great Danes, Jordan spent three seasons as an assistant coach nearby at Siena College, where he helped the Saints to a pair of CBI berths.
“Lucious knows basketball and has a great ability to relate to and develop players,” said McCall. “As a standout guard in his playing days, he can provide a wealth of knowledge throughout the course of their careers while also being a recruiter who understands all aspects of the process.” Before helping guide the Saints for three years, Jordan was the director of operations at James Madison University during the 2012-13 campaign. While working with the Dukes, Jordan oversaw team operations as James Madison won the CAA Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Second Round. “I am honored and excited for the opportunity to join Coach McCall at the University of Massachusetts,” Jordan said. “Growing up in a basketball-centric household not too far from here, I have always been familiar with UMass and have always held the institution in the highest regard. The university is not only rich in distinguished basketball tradition, but is academically esteemed as well.” Jordan was formerly the coach of the Albany City Rocks AAU Team in 2010 and 2012 while he also guided the Green Tech Charter High School freshman team. “Coach McCall is a ‘winner’ in the true sense of the word, and understands what it takes to build a renowned program and to sustain its excellence. His dedication to serve these young men and this community aligns seamlessly with my moral and personal beliefs. I am eager to hit the ground running with the UMass coaching staff and am fully committed to moving the UMass basketball program back to its championship glory.” Jordan was a two-time co-captain of the Great Danes and key cog in the 2005-06 team’s success as Albany won the program’s first-ever America East Tournament. The America East All-Conference selection finished his career that also spanned two seasons at Loyola (Md.) with 1,418 points. After graduating with a degree in communication and sociology, Jordan traveled overseas and competed in the Netherlands for the Emmen Eagles while he also laced up for the Albany Patroons of the Continental Basketball Association from 2006-09. The Capital Region standout played scholastically at Colonie Central and was inducted into the Capital Region Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.

Tyson Wheeler was hired as an assistant coach on Matt McCall’s staff prior to the 2019-20 season after completing his 10th season on the staff at Fairfield, including eight years as an assistant coach.
“We have been very fortunate to add people like Tony Bergeron and Tyson Wheeler to our staff,” said McCall. “They have tremendous basketball backgrounds and have been successful at every point in their careers. Both bring a passion for UMass that will help build and develop a new culture for our program.”
Wheeler spent two of his 10 years at Fairfield as the Director of Basketball Operations after a standout career at the University of Rhode Island, where he was a two-time Atlantic 10 First-Team selection as a junior and senior. He helped lead the Rams to an Elite Eight appearance during the 1998 NCAA Tournament and was named to the Rams’ All-Century team in 2005.
