Justin Bradley, recognized as one of the nation’s top young basketball coaches, has made a strong imprint in his five years at Dartmouth. After serving as an assistant coach for three seasons, Bradley was elevated to associate head coach prior to the start of the 2020-2021 season.

Regarded as a top-notch teacher and a global recruiter, Bradley has helped mentor several all-conference players; Chris Knight (second team twice), Brendan Barry (second Team) and Aaryn Rai (honorable mention) all made All-Ivy League teams.

After his first year (2015-16) in Hanover, Bradley spent two successful seasons at Williams College, helping the Ephs advance to the NCAA Division III Final Four in 2017 and finish both campaigns ranked fifth in the country. He was involved in all aspects of the recruiting process, assisting in game preparation and strategy while overseeing the player development for perimeter players. Three players earned All-NESCAC honors during his time at Williams, including 2018 Player of the Year and second-team All-American James Heskett.

Leading all recruiting efforts for the Big Green program, Bradley was instrumental in landing some of the best consecutive recruiting classes in Dartmouth history. His niche as a global recruiter allowed for roster diversity from 13 different states and four foreign countries.

Regarded as one of the game’s rising young coaches, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) named Bradley to its prestigious 30-under-30 Team in 2018.

A 2013 graduate of Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a degree in political science, Bradley was a player and student coach of the Quaker basketball team that went 81-31 during his four years there, advancing to the Division III Final Four during his rookie season. After graduating, he spent two seasons working with the team at North Carolina Central as the director of basketball operations in his first year, then as the graduate manager the following season. The Eagles posted a combined record of 53-14 and 31-1 in MEAC play during his tenure, advancing to the NCAA Tournament in 2014. Bradley completed his master’s degree in athletic administration at NCCU in July of 2016.
