An 18-year veteran of the coaching profession encompassing various roles within the collegiate, high school, and AAU levels, Devlin joined USD ahead of the 2022-23 season after spending three seasons at George Washington as an assistant coach under Jamion Christian, who is the current head coach of Pallacanestro Trieste.
 
During his time as a coach, Devlin has worked with numerous NBA players: the likes of Jamison Battle, Jalen Pickett, Andre Jackson, Isaiah Stewart, Tim Frazier, Josh Reaves, Lamar Stevens, Tony Carr, Jaysean Paige, Carrick Felix, Pierre Jackson, Terrence Ross and Justin Anderson.
 
While at George Washington, Devlin recruited All-A10 Guard James Bishop, who finished third all-time in scoring at GW and lead the A10 in scoring for the 2022-2023 season. He assisted in the development of Brendan Adams, who was named the Most Improved Player in the A10 for the 2022-2023 season.
 
Prior to George Washington, Devlin helped Siena to a 17-16 overall record and tied-for-second-place finish in conference play in 2021, increasing their win total by nine from the season prior. Under Devlin’s tutelage, senior forward Evan Fisher led the Saints in scoring (15.9) and rebounding (6.0) and was one of the most improved players in the nation. In the season prior to Devlin’s arrival, Fisher averaged 7.8 points and 4.9 rebounds. Devlin also helped bring in consecutive future MAAC Players of the Year in Jalen Pickett (2020) and Manny Camper (2021).
 
Before joining Siena, Devlin spent the previous year with the Albany City Rocks AAU program, where he served as a coach for both the U16 and U17 squads.
 
Devlin first entered the Division I ranks at Penn State, where he spent four seasons as the director of player development under head coach Patrick Chambers from 2013-17 and assisted in the development of 2018 NBA second round draft pick Tony Carr. He also worked with Tim Frazier, who went on to become the G League MVP and Rookie of the Year in 2015. Under Devlin's guidance, two players – DJ Newbill and Carr – led the Big Ten in scoring.
 
Devlin was an assistant coach at the College of Southern Idaho from 2009-13, which he helped guide to the 2011 NJCAA National Championship. The Golden Eagles posted a 105-32 (.766) overall record and also won the 2011 and 2012 Region 18 regular season and tournament championships during his tenure. Devlin aided in the development of nearly 20 student-athletes who went on to compete at the Division I level, highlighted by 2011 NJCAA National Player of the Year and former Dallas Mavericks guard Pierre Jackson. Additionally, Devlin developed Jaysean Paige, who ultimately transferred to West Virginia and was the Big 12's Sixth Man of the Year in 2016.


During the 2008-09 season, working under Hall of Famer and two-time National High School Coach of the Year Stu Vetter at perennial national powerhouse Montrose Christian School in Maryland, Devlin helped guide the team to a 21-3 record and peak national ranking of No. 1 by the Washington Post. He played an integral role in recruiting future NBA first round picks Terrence Ross and Justin Anderson, along with former Villanova standout Mouphtaou Yarou, to the school.

 
Devlin first entered the coaching ranks with a two-year stint as an assistant at Bowling Brook Preparatory School in Maryland from 2005-07, before spending the 2007-08 season as both an assistant and later the interim head coach at Hagerstown Community College in Maryland.
 
Devlin and his wife, Erin, have two children, Royce and Sadie.
