While this isn’t a direct replacement for now-North Carolina Tar Heels assistant coach Jorge Sanza, this addition to the Gonzaga Bulldogs staff with Seattle U Redhawks assistant coach Bryce Douglas is an exciting one that can pay off through his ability to scout talent, develop players, and evaluate opponents.
Douglas was with the Seattle U program for three seasons from 2023-26. He has had a myriad of stops in his career in both the college basketball and professional scene.
- San Diego Toreros graduate assistant/video coordinator (2009-2011)
- NCAA Division III’s Whitman College assistant coach (2011-13)
- Duke Blue Devils assistant video coordinator (2014-15; won the national championship)
- Phoenix Suns scout/analyst (2015-17)
- Florida Gators special assistant coach (2018-2022)
- Georgia Bulldogs special assistant coach (2022-23)
A native of Tacoma, Washington, Douglas was a guard with the NCAA Division III’s Puget Sound Loggers from 2005-09.
Led by head coach Mark Few, the 2026-27 staff currently includes his eventual replacement and assistant coach Brian Michaelson, assistant coach R-Jay Barsh, assistant coach Stephen Gentry, assistant coach Zach Norvell Jr., and general manager Kurt Bambauer.
