Adam Kahan joined the Sacramento State men’s basketball staff as the Assistant Director of Operations for the 2019-20 season.
In 2019-20, Kahan helped the team to 16-14 overall and 8-12 records in the Big Sky. The Hornets won their first round tournament game over Weber State, before their quarterfinal game against Eastern Washington (and the rest of the tournament) was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 16 wins were the second most in the program’s Div. I era (1991-pres.), and the team finished with an overall record above the .500 mark for just the second time in the Div. I era. In addition, the Hornets’ defense ranked fifth in the nation (among 350 Div. I playing schools) and first in the Big Sky, allowing just 59.7 points per game. That was the best mark for the program since the 1962-63 season. Also, the program’s +3.8 rebounding margin per game was the best mark since the 1975-76 season.
Kahan has over four years of experience in the men’s basketball collegiate game as he was the student manager at Washington State from 2016-19. Some of his numerous duties at Washington State included filming practices and games, breaking down the film for coaches and players, practice and gameday operations, and digital media.
Before moving to Washington, Kahan attended Granite Bay High School where he played volleyball all four years of his prep career, and was an all-conference selection.
Kahan will earn his degree in Sport Management from Washington State in the spring of 2020.
