Nate Georgeton enters his third season as an assistant coach with the UCLA men’s basketball program in 2025-26, marking his seventh year on the Bruins’ staff. Georgeton joined UCLA’s program in the summer of 2019 and was elevated to the role of assistant coach in the summer of 2023.
Georgeton, who graduated from the University of Cincinnati, served as the Bruins’ video coordinator and the Director of Student-Athlete Development during his first four seasons at UCLA. Through the past six seasons at UCLA, he has assisted the Bruins’ coaching staff with an array of responsibilities, especially with video analysis. Georgeton has overseen UCLA’s postgame video edits, practice film and scouting assessments. He has played a central role in overseeing recruiting efforts while routinely managing recruiting databases, schedules and visits. Georgeton was initially hired the team’s video coordinator in the summer of 2019.
Over the past two seasons, Georgeton has helped lead UCLA to a 39-28 overall record. The Bruins finished in fourth place out of 18 teams in the Big Ten Conference in 2024-25, advancing to a second-round contest in the NCAA Tournament after defeating Utah State, 72-47, in a first-round matchup. In each of the past two seasons, UCLA has led its conference in scoring defense (Pac-12 in 2023-24, Big Ten in 2024-25). Most recently, the Bruins held the opposition to an average of 65.2 points per game in 2024-25.
Through his sixth seasons on UCLA’s staff, Georgeton has helped the Bruins to a combined record of 138-64, including an 81-36 mark in conference games (the first five of those six seasons took place in the Pac-12 Conference). UCLA went 31-6 in 2022-23 and secured the Pac-12 regular-season title for the first time since 2013. That year, the Bruins advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season and made their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16.
Other highlights during Georgeton’s time at UCLA have included the memorable run to the 2021 NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis, after the Bruins opened with a “First Four” overtime win over Michigan State. Over the previous six years, UCLA has gone 38-23 in games that were decided by five points or fewer, including all games that extended into overtime.
UCLA’s program produced five NBA Draft selections in three consecutive summers (2022-24), including a pair of first-round picks with Peyton Watson in 2022 (Denver) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. in 2023 (Miami). Amari Bailey and Jaylen Clark were both selected in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, while Adem Bona was chosen in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Bruins’ 2022-23 team went 31-6 and won the Pac-12 regular-season crown, going 18-2 in league play. In addition, the Bruins led the Pac-12 in scoring defense (60.7 ppg). For the second straight year, UCLA ranked second in the Pac-12 in scoring offense (74.1 ppg in 2022-23, and 75.4 ppg in 2021-22).
The 2021-22 squad went 27-8 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. UCLA led the Pac-12 in scoring defense (64.5 ppg allowed) for the first time since 1973-74. In addition, the Bruins were ranked No. 2 in the conference in scoring offense (75.4 ppg).
UCLA went 22-10 in 2020-21, logging a 13-6 record in Pac-12 action. The Bruins opened the season with 13 wins in 16 games and recorded their best conference start (with an 8-0 record) since beginning the 1982-83 season with a 9-0 Pac-10 record. UCLA was one of five Pac-12 programs to advance to the NCAA Tournament and one of four to reach the Sweet 16, along with Oregon, USC and Oregon State.
The Bruins engineered a strong turnaround midway through the 2019-20 season, finishing with a 19-12 record and a second-place finish in the Pac-12 before the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly ended the college basketball season.
In 2018-19, Georgeton served as student manager on Mick Cronin’s staff at Cincinnati while he was pursuing his undergraduate studies. He served as the team’s primary video coordinator that season, as the Bearcats went 28-7 and won the American Athletic Conference Tournament before advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the ninth straight season.
Georgeton graduated from the University of Cincinnati with his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies with a focus in sports administration and business. He spent his first two years of college at Northwood University (Division II), competing for the men’s basketball team in Midland, Mich. As a sophomore at Northwood (2017-18), he averaged 5.7 points and 2.4 assists per game, starting in 23 of 27 games. He did not play as a freshman in 2016-17, as he recovered from a knee injury (torn anterior cruciate ligament).
Georgeton, 28, was a three-year varsity basketball letterwinner at Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.
