Josten Crow wrapped up his first season as an assistant coach for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

This past season, Crow helped the Bulldogs finish with a 24-10 overall record while advancing to the Conference USA championship game after victories over Marshall, WKU and defending champion North Texas. He helped coach two All-Conference USA selections in Kenneth Lofton, Jr. (First Team) and Cobe Williams (Honorable Mention) as well as Kaleb Stewart who was voted to the C-USA All-Freshman Team.
 
Crow came north to Ruston having been in Lafayette since 2015 with the Ragin’ Cajuns, first as the Director of Student-Athlete Development for one year then as an assistant coach for the last five seasons.
 
Crow was part of five winning seasons at UL-Lafayette under head coach Bob Marlin.  He played a key role in the development of seven All-Sun Belt Conference players, including this past season’s honorees Cedric Russell and Theo Akwuba. 
 
In his second season as an assistant coach in 2016-17, Crow helped the Cajuns to a 27-7 overall record, including a Sun Belt Conference regular season title and a National Invitation Tournament appearance.
 
Crow also served as a graduate assistant at ULL in 2011-12 before playing professionally overseas for three years.  He played in the top two levels of professional basketball in Germany for the Crailsheim Merlins, spending two years in the ProA (second-level) league before competing in 2014-15 in the BBL (highest level).

During that time, he spent the summers as Head of Athletics for the Greatness Factory - an individual and team training center based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
 
Crow was a four-year letterwinner at Sam Houston State (2007-11), playing for Bob Marlin.  He helped lead the Bearkats to both the Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles as a junior in 2010, along with an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
