Sacramento State hires alum Brian Katz as Head Coach
Sacramento, CA -- June 01, 2007:

Sacramento State has announced it's next head men's basketball coach as former player and 1980 alumnus Brian Katz.

Katz replaces coach Jerome Jenkins, who led the Hornets to a 80-147 record over his last 8 years at the helm of the team.

Prior to Sacramento State, Katz spent 19 years as a junior college head coach, compiling a 435-185 record (.702 winning percentage) while leading his teams to the playoffs 18 times, including three Sweet 16 appearances, three Elite 8 appearances and one trip to the Final Four. Also during that 19-year span, his teams combined for seven conference championships and he received conference coach of the year accolades seven times.

He spent 15 seasons (1993-08) as head coach at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, where he posted a 348-138 record (.716 winning percentage) and led the team to 14 playoff appearances, six conference championships, two Elite Eight appearances and one Final Four.

A six-time conference coach of the year at Delta College, Katz guided the team to three league championships and a 130-32 combined record during his final five years with the program.

Katz had just one losing season during his tenure at Delta, and that came in his first season (1993-94) when the team posted a 10-19 overall record. However, the very next year (1994-95), the Mustangs more than doubled their win total and finished with a 21-11 mark. From that point on, Delta became one of the top junior college programs in the state, winning at least 22 games 11 times during Katz’s final 13 seasons at the helm. The high point came in 2004-05, when the team finished the year 30-2 overall, 14-0 in league and reached the Final Four before falling to San Bernardino Valley College, 85-84, in double overtime.

Prior to his tenure at Delta College, Katz spent four years (1989-93) at Lassen College in Susanville, Calif., where he led the team to an 87-47 record, four playoff appearances and a league championship. One of those playoff appearances came in 1992 when he guided the team to the Elite Eight despite the school having just 800 students.

Katz will hope to establish a winning culture at his alma mater that has struggled to find it's footing in the Big Sky conference since their transition to DI from DII in 1992. The Hornets have yet to win any conference regular season titles or conference tournaments, meaning they've yet to make a NCAA tournament appearance as well.

Here for this, good luck at Sac St

Here for this, good luck at Sac St

over the last few months there's been a niche pocket of Choops youtubers popping up so that combined with march madness and seeing what Soapy is doing over in his legacy I had to try another long-term save.

This Sac State team has been one of my favorite to start with on the game. I wanted to start the chise with a coach that took their first D1 job in 2007-2008. Saw that Katz started his like 15 year stint with the Sac State and knew that's the coach I had to roll with. If/when we get that far, definitely don't see us sticking around at Sac State if the type of offer that I'm planning on taking comes.
