Description
Todays guest is Skye Ettin, Assistant MBB Coach at UC Santa Barbara.
Skye grew up in Princeton, NJ, where we first met as opponents in high school! He then played collegiately at The College of New Jersey where he was a three-year captain.
After graduating he joined the staff at Princeton University as the Director of Basketball Operations but didn’t take long for him to be named an assistant coach, a role he has filled the previous 6 seasons!
He’s garnered many accolades over that time span, including being named an NABC 30 under 30 honoree and one of the 50 most impactful mid major assistants in the country by Silver Waves Media.
He capped off the Princeton chapter with an unbelievable run to the Sweet 16 in the 2023 NCAA tournament. Skye is now in his first season as an Assistant Coach at UC Santa Barbara.
