四名来自美国和加拿大的新助理教练加入了正规博彩十大网站，与主教练一起工作 Dave Smart as he ushers in a new era of men’s basketball.

Smart, 被广泛认为是加拿大有史以来最成功的大学篮球教练, was named head coach in March. He has since announced the hires of Clay Wilson, Craig Beaucamp, Garrett Bridges and Myke Scholl as assistant coaches.

Clay Wilson

上个赛季，斯马特在德克萨斯理工大学担任助理教练，在那里他与威尔逊密切合作, who served as Director of Player Development. 两人的任务是专注于进攻，并帮助红色突袭者队以23胜11负的战绩进入NCAA锦标赛.

“斯玛特教练和我在德克萨斯理工大学的时候，我们花了很多时间在进攻原则上，并考察了其他球队，我们彼此非常了解,” Wilson said. “Our offices were next to each other, 我们花了很多时间在一起，我们开玩笑说要拆掉我们之间的墙.”

After Smart accepted the head coach position, Wilson was immediately drawn to Pacific, 不仅是为了有机会继续和斯玛特一起执教，也是为了获得常春藤盟校的感觉.

“The campus reminds me a lot of my alma mater Princeton. We have the same school colors with the orange and black, 与老虎队相同的吉祥物和校园本身有砖建筑和树荫,” Wilson said.

“There are similarities, and when my mom and brother came to visit here, they actually said the same thing. 甚至一些设施，比如垒球场，看起来和普林斯顿大学的几乎一模一样.”

Craig Beaucamp

Beaucamp, a fellow Canadian coach, also has a strong relationship with Smart, coaching with and against him. 在过去的21个赛季里，他一直担任维多利亚大学篮球项目的教练.

“In the 80 or so games I coached against him, we always kept a close professional relationship, 我们总是对彼此保持高度的尊重,” Beaucamp said. “多年来，我对他的家人很了解，他也很了解我的家人.

“当我们一起在加拿大国家队执教时，有几次我在他家待了好几个星期. 我们志趣相投，总是很享受在一起的时光.”

和威尔逊一样，当斯玛特加入老虎队时，博坎普立即看到了自己在太平洋的吸引力.

“在美国一起执教是我和斯玛特教练多年前讨论过的事情. We didn’t know if it would happen, 但我们一直想在最高水平的大学篮球比赛中当教练, and it doesn’t get any higher than NCAA Division I. It’s the best college basketball in the world,” Beaucamp said, adding that being on the west coast was also a big draw.

“I can hop on a 90-minute flight from Vancouver, 待在同一个时区，和我的家人待在一起, which is still in Victoria,” he said. “我不会去这个国家的任何地方执教, but Pacific felt like the perfect opportunity for me.”

Garrett Bridges

布里奇斯从北卡罗来纳来到太平洋，他在北卡罗来纳中央大学担任助理教练，在那里度过了过去的五个赛季. 在此之前，他曾担任休斯顿大学的研究生助理.

A mentor of Bridges from Houston (assistant coach K.C. Beard) helped connect with him Smart.

“Before this year’s Final Four, 我接到比尔德教练的电话，说他的一个好朋友得到了正规博彩十大网站的主教练职位，他至少可以帮我和他谈谈,” Bridges said. “我最终在四强赛中遇到了斯马特教练和威尔逊教练，并与他们进行了很好的交谈.”

在从比尔德和休斯顿大学主教练凯文·桑普森那里了解了更多关于斯玛特的情况后, Bridges said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

“The way they spoke about him, 我对导师的信任让我很容易就做出了这个决定,” Bridges said. “我很高兴能在正规博彩十大网站这个美丽的校园里工作，并在西海岸会议上担任教练. 这是一个进入NCAA锦标赛的多方竞标联盟，而且它只会越来越强大, 特别是随着华盛顿州和俄勒冈州的加入.”

Myke Scholl

和布里奇斯一样，斯科尔斯在四强赛中遇到了斯马特和威尔逊. Scholl, a Sacramento native, 在过去的16个赛季里，他在加州执教一级篮球联赛，最后10年在长滩州立大学，前6年在洛约拉玛丽蒙特大学.

“我一直对正规博彩十大网站很熟悉，我有很多高中朋友在这里上学. My close friend Willie Tatum played basketball here, 作为萨克拉门托州立大学的前学生运动员，我在大西部和西海岸会议上与太平洋相遇. 我在LMU的时候也执教过太平洋队。.

After the 2023-24 season, 肖尔收到了其他学校的邀请，有机会进入NBA，但他想留在加州. The chance to work with Smart was a key reason.

“当时斯玛特教练正在找人接替我的职位, 他在找一个加州人，他的熟人介绍他来找我,” Scholl said. “Everyone I talked with sang praises about Coach Smart, and after a month or two of working with him, I can see why. 他的创造力和对游戏的了解让他毫不犹豫地选择了这款游戏.”

肖尔说，篮球团队已经建立了牢固的纽带.

“This isn’t a ‘go your separate ways’ staff. We’re with each other all the time, 我们几乎每顿饭都是一起吃的，我们要待在一起，直到工作完成,” Scholl said. “我们来这里是为了赢得比赛，我们都对即将到来的赛季感到非常兴奋.”

The team will host the season opener at the Alex G. Spanos Center Monday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.
