INDIANA, Pa. – Brandon Mayhan was named an assistant coach for the IUP men’s basketball program in August 2024 and begins his first season with the program in 2024-25.
Mayhan brings with him a wealth of experience from Southeastern University (NAIA) in Lakeland, Fla., where he was on staff for the last three years.

He coached four All-American selections and seven All-Sun Conference players, focusing on empowering student-athletes to unlock their full potential through basketball.
“Today marks a chapter of immense gratitude and excitement in my journey. I am beyond blessed to embrace the role of assistant coach at IUP. I am very thankful to Coach Lombardi for giving me the opportunity to be part of a great staff, a winning program, and a prestigious institution. I am ready to love, serve, and inspire through relationships, and achieve great success on and off the court.”
Mayhan was deeply involved in organizing and executing practices, recruiting talented student-athletes, fostering individual player development, and conducting thorough scouting and film analysis.
“We feel very fortunate to have added Brandon to our staff as a full-time assistant. I believe that the experience he has will serve our program well. He has made good connections with the players up to this point and I know he will do a great job with helping them develop individually” said head coach Joe Lombardi.
