Chris Burgess, joined Utah Valley’s coaching staff as an assistant coach in April of 2015. In just a short time as a collegiate assistant coach, Burgess has made a name for himself on the recruiting trail, nationally. On the court, the 6’ 11” coach primarily works with the development of the Wolverine big men, and developing defensive in-game strategies for the Wolverines.

Burgess served as an undergraduate assistant coach at the University of Utah while finishing his degree in speech communications. He also served as an assistant coach at Salt Lake Community College before becoming an assistant at Indian Hills. 

“Chris is a key part to my staff,” said Pope. “Not only has he excelled as a player, but has also proven his skill, acumen, and dedication as a coach. He is an energetic teacher and a smart basketball tactician. He has proven his ability to build strong and lasting relationships with players, recruits, and colleagues. Chris is incredible asset to Utah Valley and is destined to be a star in this business.”
