After an extensive nationwide search, Utah Valley University Director of Athletics, Dr. Jared Sumsion, announced today the hiring of Todd Phillips as the fourth head coach in UVU men's basketball's NCAA Division I history. 

Phillips has spent the last four seasons on the Utah Valley staff under Mark Madsen where he served two years as an assistant coach (2019-21) before being promoted to associate head coach in 2021. During his time at UVU, Phillips has helped the team to two Western Athletic Conference regular season championships (2020-21, 2022-23) and an impressive 70-51 record, including 48 wins over the last two seasons.

"This position garnered unprecedented national attention and I believe it is one of the best mid-major jobs in college basketball," said Sumsion. "Todd Phillips was the evident choice to lead our program with the upward trajectory he has helped build." 

Phillips will be introduced as head coach at a news conference on Wednesday, April 12 at 2pm in the NUVI Basketball Center.
