One of the top young coaches in college basketball, Tyler Holloway (CoachTHolloway) returns in 2023-24 for his 15th season with Belmont Basketball, sixth as assistant coach and fifth as a member of Casey Alexander's staff.

With two-time all-conference guard Ben Sheppard selected No. 26 by the Indiana Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft, Belmont is among exclusive company with two or more first-round selections in the NBA Draft over the last five years.

Holloway served as a graduate assistant for the Bruins during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, while earning his master's degree in Sport Administration from Belmont. He was elevated to director of basketball operations thereafter.

During Holloway's time with the Bruins, Belmont has won 342 games – nearly 25 games per season – 15 conference championships (10 regular season, five tournament), earned six NCAA Tournament bids (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2020), garnered national Top 25 poll votes 12 out of 14 seasons, recorded 13 consecutive Top 100 rankings, and posted the nation's longest active home court and road win streaks.

"Tyler is a well-rounded coach that has earned the appreciation of everyone affiliated with the program," Alexander said. "He is a go-getter, has high credibility from his playing career, and is willing to take on - and excel at - any task."

The coaching veteran will continue to support the Bruin program in a number of capacities, including video analysis through Synergy Sports, player development, offensive play calling, scouting reports, recruiting, and other day-to-day activities.

With Holloway on staff, three Belmont players have received Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America and OVC Player of the Year honors (Ian Clark, J.J. Mann, Evan Bradds), with 10 others garnering first team all-conference recognition (Kerron Johnson, Craig Bradshaw, Austin Luke, Amanze Egekeze, Dylan Windler, Kevin McClain, Adam Kunkel, Grayson Murphy, Nick Muszynski, Ben Sheppard).

Holloway's individual skill development of Belmont backcourt players led to professional careers for the likes of NBA Champion Ian Clark, New York Knicks guard Dylan Windler, Indiana Pacers guard Ben Sheppard and fellow professionals Kerron Johnson, J.J. Mann, Craig Bradshaw, Austin Luke, Kevin McClain, Grayson Murphy.

Holloway was a four-year letterwinner at Murray State ('09), where he scored 1,083 career points and made 210 career 3-point field goals.

The Decatur, Alabama native is married to the former Jelena Jozic. The couple has one son, Luka.
