Mike Bibby Officially Named Sacramento State Men's Basketball Head Coach

The former NBA star and Sacramento Kings standout aims to revitalize the struggling program, which has yet to make an NCAA Tournament appearance since moving to Division I in 1991.

Sacramento State announced on March 25, 2025, that Mike Bibby will take over as head coach of the men's basketball team.
Bibby, who played seven seasons with the Sacramento Kings, brings a strong connection to the city and a successful high school coaching record, though he has no collegiate coaching experience.
The Hornets are coming off a difficult 7-25 season under interim coach Michael Czepil, finishing last in the Big Sky Conference.
This hiring is part of Sacramento State's broader efforts to elevate its athletics profile, including a new basketball facility set to open next fall and aspirations to move its football program from FCS to FBS.
University officials, including President Luke Wood and Athletic Director Mark Orr, expressed confidence in Bibby's leadership to develop the program and inspire community support.
