UC Davis has promoted Justin Clareman to Director of Basketball Operations following a one-year stint as the Aggies’ Video Coordinator in 2021-22.
Clareman joined the Aggie staff last season and was responsible for film operations as well as operational duties.
He created scouting, recruiting, and and practice edits utilized by the coaching staff, as well as in-house analytics and statistical work. Clareman utilized Sportscode to output reports and formulas that in turn provided UC Davis coaches and players with comprehensive post-game information, as well as Clareman’s own analytics used to measure offensive set points per possession, individual defensive player efficiency, and lineup plus/minus.
Clareman played a major role in the skill development of the Aggies last season, including All-Big West First Teamer Ezra Manjon and All-Big West Second Team selection Elijah Pepper.
In addition to his video and on-court work, Clareman aided outgoing Director of Basketball Operations Ryan Oliver and Associate Head Coach Kevin Nosek on a daily basis, including travel and budgetary items, and helped oversee a team of undergraduate managers.
UC Davis has enjoyed prolonged stability under Head Coach Jim Les with Les, Nosek, and assistant coaches Jonathan Metzger-Jones and Kyle Vogt entering their seventh season together. Les, Nosek and Vogt have been together since the 2012-13 season.
The Aggies are coming off a winning season in 2021-22 at 13-11 and return Pepper and big man Christian Anigwe among a host of returnees and newcomers with Division I experience.
