University of Maine head men’s basketball head coach Chris Markwood has announced the hiring of assistant coach Jordon Bronner.
“We are excited to have Jordon joining our program,” Markwood states. “Jordon is a bright, young coach, who knows the America East inside and out. He was a captain and a very good player in this league at UNH. He has evolved as a coach over the years at his alma mater under the tutelage of Coach Herrion, who has the most wins for a America East coach in the conference’s history, and someone I have a ton of respect for. Jordon will be a great resource for our staff and our players as we work to build a consistent winner in this league.”
Bronner joins the Black Bears after having served as the assistant coach/recruiter for the University of New Hampshire from 2018-22. Along with recruiting, Bronner assisted in scouting of opposing teams, extensive film work within his own team, working with academic support to help monitor the student athletes and served as a coordinator for the Elite and Day Camps at New Hampshire.
“I’m excited for the new opportunity under coach Markwood,” Bronner states. ” My two best friends from high school played under coach Markwood at UVM and a high school coach of mine has a good relationship with Markwood so it all made sense to me when deciding to come to UMaine. This is a fresh start for all of us, so our job is to build this program up and give everyone in the community and athletic department something to rally behind and support.”
Prior to being named as the assistant coach at New Hampshire, Bronner spent the 2017-18 season as the director of operations for the Wildcats, where he ran the day-to-day operations of the program. He assisted in practice/game preparation and planning, organizing of recruit reports and coordinated film exchange with opposing programs.
Bronner served as the graduate student manager during the 2016-17 season, where he worked closely with the coaching staff at New Hampshire in all aspects of recruiting, player development and individual workouts.
Bronner enjoyed a successful collegiate basketball career as a member of the New Hampshire Wildcats from 2011-14. He was named to the America East All-Rookie team in 2011, the America East Honor Roll in 2013-14 and served as the team captain in his senior season of 2013-14 before graduating in May of 2014 with his bachelors in communications.
