Anthony Santos is in his second season at Long Beach State after 12 seasons with Big West rival Cal State Fullerton, where he helped guide the Titans to two of their four all-time NCAA Tournament appearances. With Long Beach State, Santos will work as the program’s defensive coordinator while assisting with game preparation and recruiting.
With Cal State Fullerton, Santos spent two seasons as the team’s Associate Head Coach under Dedrique Taylor, climbing the ranks with the Titans throughout his career in Orange County. In his first season as the Associate Head Coach, Santos helped guide the Titans to a second-straight Big West Championship game appearances, winning six straight games prior to the title game defeat.
That came following a title game appearance in 2021-22, when Cal State Fullerton outlasted Long Beach State in the Big West Championship title game, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in his tenure. The first time came during the 2017-18 season, as the Titans went 20-12 led by star Kyle Allman, Jr., who was a First Team All-Big West selection in addition to an NABC All-District selection and the Big West Championship Most Outstanding Player.
Over his time in Orange Country, Santos led the Titans to four conference championship games, three 20-win seasons and saw over 30 players earn All-Big West honors.
Santos earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Cal State Fullerton, and served as the team’s Director of Basketball Operations following his first degree before moving into the coaching staff in 2017.
