Queens University of Charlotte Head Men’s Basketball Coach Bart Lundy announces the addition of Brian Steele to the men’s basketball staff as an assistant coach for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.

“We are excited to add Brian to our staff,” said Lundy. “Brian has worked for everything he has gotten as a player and now as a young coach. He has been a part of a championship culture at South Carolina and he will help to keep us on the cutting edge of college basketball. He has a great ability to relate to the players and I love his toughness.”

Prior to joining Queens, Steele spent the previous three seasons on the staff at his alma mater, the University of South Carolina, serving as a student assistant during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 seasons, and as a graduate assistant coach during the 2017-2018 season. With Steele on staff, the Gamecocks set a school record for wins in each of the last two years and reached the 2017 Final Four.

“I am honored to join Coach Lundy’s staff at Queens,” said Steele. “Coach Lundy has built one of the most successful programs in college basketball and I am excited to be a part of it.”

As a student-athlete at South Carolina, Steele was a three-time letter winner who made 50 career appearances while starting four times. Steele served as a team captain during his junior season, was a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member and was named to the NABC Honors Court.

A native of Greenville, South Carolina, Steele was a prep school all-state, all-region and all-county selection helping lead Wade Hampton School to a state championship during his junior season.
