After being with coach Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona staff since the start of the 2021-22 season, Rem Bakamus will now be joining coach Grant McCasland and the Texas Tech staff as an assistant coach.
Bakamus was with Gonzaga as a walk-on for five seasons from 2012-17 and was a part of the 2017 Final Four team, arguably the most talented group in school history. After his playing days were over, he decided to become a graduate assistant at Baylor under coach Scott Drew, where he assisted in the development of guards like Davion Mitchell, MaCio Teague, Jared Butler, Adam Flagler, and LJ Cryer. Bakamaus won a national championship with the Bears in 2021.
He then moved to Tucson as he was named the Director of Player Development for the Wildcats before being promoted to assistant coach this past season as one of Lloyd’s confidants. Bakamus helped develop a talented list of guards such as Caleb Love, Pelle Larsson, Bennedict Mathurin, and Dalen Terry, to name a few.
The trajectory of Bakamus’ career is on the right path as he impresses at every stop he has made on his basketball journey. Gonzaga’s coaching tree continues to reach all corners of the country and grow deeper with moves like this. Best of luck to Rem in Lubbock!
