Edney, a 1995 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion, joined the staff as an assistant coach ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Most notably, Edney went the length of the court with 4.8 seconds remaining for a buzzer beater against Missouri in the NCAA tournament, giving the Bruins a 75-74 win in the second round. Led by Edney, UCLA went on to win the National Championship with a 32-1 season record.

Coach Lavin was an assistant coach for all four years of Edney’s UCLA career, and the duo helped the Bruins to a 102-25 record in that span.

Edney was later selected by the Sacramento Kings in the second round of the 1995 NBA draft with the 47th overall pick, and played professionally until 2010.

He returned to his alma mater as Director of Operations in 2010, and spent 2017-19 as an assistant coach. Most recently, Edney served as Director of Engagement.
