    Assistant Coach
Brock Morris joined the staff as the director of player personnel and assistant coach on July 1, 2023, and transitioned to an assistant coach before the 2024-25 season. He arrived in Norman with 10+ years of coaching and recruiting experience.

The Sooners have won 61 games and made two postseason appearances in his three seasons on the OU sidelines.

Morris has aided in the development of seven All-Americans, 26 all-conference honorees, 18 all-tournament team selections, three conference players of the year, two conference tournament MVPs and one NBA Draft lottery pick, Elfrid Payton.

Morris joined the Sooners after one season as an assistant coach at Ole Miss where he helped the Rebels land the No. 12 ranked 2022 recruiting class via ESPN and was instrumental in building a top-25 2023 class.

Prior to his year in Oxford, he spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana (2019-22) where he was responsible for player development, scouting and recruiting. As the program’s acting head coach, he compiled a 4-0 record in two-game stints in 2020-21 and 2021-22.

As a recruiter for the Ragin’ Cajuns, Morris was instrumental in helping Louisiana sign its highest-ranked recruiting class in program history. During his time in Lafayette, UL signed two ESPN four-star prospects, one ESPN 100 recruit, three ESPN 100 transfers, a junior college All-American, three JUCO top-100 players and a McDonald’s All-American.

In 2021-22, the Ragin’ Cajuns played for the Sun Belt Tournament championship. With recruits from Morris’ time in Lafayette, the Cajuns won the 2023 Sun Belt Conference Championship, marking their second finals appearance in as many seasons.

During Morris’ tenure with the Cajuns, seven players earned either all-conference or all-tournament team honors. He aided in the development of Theo Akwuba, who was named 2023 Lou Henson National Player of the Year,  2021 Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year, a 2021 Lefty Driesell National Defensive Player of the Year nominee and a Lefty Driesell Defensive All-American, and the 2020 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year.

Morris was the head coach at Daytona State College in 2018-19, leading the Falcons to a 25-7 mark and a Mid-Florida Conference Tournament title. DSC spent 16 weeks in the JUCO top-25 rankings.

The Falcons averaged 87.0 points per outing and led Region 8 in 3-pointers made (317) and assists per contest (20.7). In addition to its offensive prowess, Daytona State dominated defensively, ranking first in the conference in field goal percentage defense, blocks, rebounding margin and turnovers forced.

Four Falcons earned Division I scholarships under his leadership, and Morris coached the 2019 Mid-Florida Conference Player of the Year.

Prior to his stint at DSC, Morris spent three seasons as an assistant coach at South Alabama and was primarily responsible for the defense. The Jaguars secured their top-ranked recruiting class in the Sun Belt in his second season on staff and ranked in the top 20 in points allowed per game.

South Alabama ranked sixth in the nation in 3-point field goal defense (.305) and 24th in field goal percentage defense (.407) in 2017-18. The Jaguars led the conference in turnovers forced per game (16.3), turnover margin (3.2) and steals per outing (7.5) during the 2016-17 season.

Morris spent two seasons as an assistant coach at College of Southern Idaho helping the Golden Eagles to a 58-8 record overall and a 27-5 mark in Scenic West Athletic Conference play.

In 2014-15, Southern Idaho won the conference regular season title and the Region 18 Tournament championship. CSI finished with a 31-3 overall mark and 13-2 in conference action.

In his first season on staff in 2013-14, CSI won the regular season title with a 13-4 conference mark and finished 27-5 overall. In his two seasons at Southern Idaho, 18 players signed Division I scholarships.

Prior to his time at CSI, Morris was the director of operations at Louisiana for three seasons (2010-13) and served two seasons as a graduate assistant at Alabama (2008-10).

Morris played collegiately at Snead State. He earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 2008 and master’s degree in human environmental sciences in 2010, both from Alabama.

Morris and his wife Amanda have two sons, Macksen and Graysen.
