One of Long Beach State’s all-time greats as a player, Larry Anderson joined the staff in 2023 as an assistant coach, where he will focus on player development.
Anderson was a part of the “Fab Four” at Long Beach State, a quartet of four freshman who started immediately in the 2008-09 season and would ultimately win back-to-back Big West Titles, reach the Big West Tournament championship game in three straight seasons and advance to the NCAA Tournament in 2011-12.
A First-Team All-Big West selection in three of his four seasons at Long Beach State, Anderson piled up outstanding individual numbers in addition to the tremendous team success over that period. Anderson set the school record with 206 steals over his time at the Beach, and he ranks in the school’s Top 10 in scoring, assists and rebounding as well.
Over his time with Long Beach State, Anderson piled up 1,538 points, the seventh-most in school history and ranked eighth in assists with 362 and ninth with 591 rebounds. Anderson joined Ed Ratleff as the only players in Long Beach State history to score 1500 points, grab 500 rebounds and make 300 assists in their careers.
Moving on to a professional career, Anderson played in the NBA G League as well as in Europe across Belgium, Finland and Israel. Transitioning to coaching following his retirement from his playing career, Anderson spent last season in the local area as an Assistant Coach at Cerritos College.
