- Assistant Coach
Justin Scott joined the Oklahoma men's basketball staff as an assistant coach on April 30, 2025.
Scott arrived in Norman after spending six seasons at Saint Joseph's, where he was associate head coach the previous two years and helped the Hawks record back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time in 20 years. They improved their win total each of the last four seasons and went 22-13 with an NIT appearance in 2024-25.
In addition to serving as recruiting coordinator at Saint Joseph's, Scott presided over game and clock management, rules education and dead-ball situations. He also played a key role in player development and opponent scouting. He was instrumental in helping develop prominent Hawks players Cam Brown, Xzayvier Brown, Rasheer Fleming, Jordan Hall and Erik Reynolds.
Before his tenure with the Hawks, Scott spent nine seasons at NCAA Division III Arcadia University, just north of Philadelphia, starting as an assistant coach in 2010 and taking over as head coach in 2012. He compiled a 104-87 record in seven seasons as head coach and led the Knights to their first conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance and win in 2019. That same year, Arcadia recorded a school-record 23 victories against just six losses and Scott was recognized as the Sam Cozen Small College Basketball Coach of the Year by the Philadelphia Area Small College Coaches Association. He was named Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth Coach of the Year that season for the second time, first picking up the honor in 2013.
Scott also served as assistant athletics director at Arcadia starting in 2016 and later was named associate athletics director. He was also a member of the NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee.
Scott also boasts international experience, having served as head coach of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines senior men's national team. Under his leadership, the squad posted a 6-6 record and finished sixth at the 2015 FIBA Caribbean Basketball Championship, followed by a fifth-place showing in 2018.
A Philadelphia native, Scott played at East Stroudsburg (Pa.) University where he was a two-year letterwinner for the Warriors. He later returned to his alma mater and spent three seasons (2007-10) on the coaching staff before joining Arcadia University.
Scott earned a bachelor's degree in sport management in 2007 and a master's degree in management and leadership with a concentration in sport management in 2008, both from East Stroudsburg.
He and his wife Amber have four children: son Xzayvier Brown, a junior on the OU men's basketball team, and daughters Parker, Harper and Nyler.
