Brock McGinnis enters his fifth season on Coach Brandon Schneider’s staff at Kansas in 2023-24. He is in his first season as an Assistant Coach for the Jayhawks after serving for four years as the Director of Player Development.

McGinnis has been on staff as Kansas reached the postseason in each of the past two seasons, including winning the 2023 WNIT Championship. The Jayhawks finished 25-11 in 2022-23, marking the sixth time in program history that KU won at least 25 games in a season, and first time since 1996-97. KU has won at least 20 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2012 and 2013.

During the 2021-22 season, McGinnis assisted Schneider – the Big 12 Coach of the Year – as the Jayhawks experienced a breakthrough campaign. Kansas finished the season with a record of 21-10, marking the program’s first 20-win season since 2010-11, and the Jayhawks had 20 wins during the regular season for the first time since 1999-2000. KU capped off the season with a berth in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, earning the No. 8 seed in the Spokane Regional and defeating Georgia Tech, 77-58, in the opening round before falling to eventual regional champion Stanford in the second round.

Before coming to Kansas, McGinnis previously worked for two years as the women’s basketball Video Coordinator at Oklahoma State. He has also worked as an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Allen Community College from 2016-2017, Assistant Video Coordinator for the Toronto Raptors from 2015-2016, and Graduate Assistant for Oklahoma State Cowboy Basketball from 2013-2015.
