Bio

Bryan Doze enters his third year as an assistant coach at Florida College. A native of St.Louis, Mo., Doze previously spent two years as a graduate assistant for Florida State University's Men’s Basketball team under head coach Leonard Hamilton. He graduated from FSU with his Master’s degree from the number one rated Sports Management program in the country.

In his first season in Tampa, Doze helped improve the Falcon's win percentage from .433 the year prior, to .538. The Falcons ranked 5th in the country in assists per game (minimum 12 games played) and 3rd in three-pointers made per game.

In his second season at FC, Doze helped the Falcons achieve a record-breaking season. The Falcons were Continental Athletic Conference Champions, finished with a 31-4 record, and reached the second round of the NAIA National Tournament. The Falcons were 14-0 at home.

During his first year as a graduate assistant, Doze was part of FSU’s school-record 29 wins. 13 of the 29 wins were ACC wins, which was a program record. He also was part of FSU’s March Madness run, helping them reach the sweet 16 for the second consecutive season. His responsibilities included handling film during games, practices, and scouting other teams. He also assisted with on-court workouts.

During his second season, Doze helped FSU win their first regular-season ACC title. His last season with FSU was cut short during the ACC tournament because of COVID-19, but since FSU was the number one seed, they won the ACC tournament by decision. His responsibilities included assisting with travel preparation for away games (itineraries, meal orders, hotel bookings, flight schedules), helping with on-court workouts, handling film during games, and scouting opponents.

Doze's responsibilities at FC include recruiting, scouting, player development, on-the-court instruction, monitoring academic progress, etc.

Prior to attending Florida State University, Doze attended Southeast Missouri State University where he obtained his undergraduate degree in sports management and minor in business while being a manager for the woman’s basketball team under coach Rekha Patterson.

Doze graduated from Hazelwood West High School in St. Louis, Mo.
