A veteran on the UT Arlington men’s basketball sidelines for more than a decade, Greg Young was named the ninth head coach in program history on Apr. 5, 2021.
A 35-year coaching veteran with deep Lone Star State roots, Young will be entering his 14th season with UTA in 2022-23 after serving as an assistant (2009-13), associate (2013-21) or head (2021-22) coach for the program.
In Young’s 13 seasons with the Mavericks, UTA has gone 230-183 (.557) and advanced to the postseason four times: 2012 NIT, 2013 CIT, 2016 CIT and 2017 NIT. The Mavs were Southland Conference regular-season champions in 2011-12, reached the Western Athletic Conference Tournament championship game in 2013 and earned the Sun Belt Conference regular season title in 2017. Additionally, UTA went to back-to-back Sun Belt Tournament championship games in 2018 and 2019.

A native of Cleburne, Texas, Young was a three-sport athlete at Cleburne High, lettering in football, basketball and baseball.
