Jamey Givens Promoted To Belmont Women’s Basketball Associate Head Coach

Belmont women’s basketball coach Jamey Givens has been promoted to Associate Head Coach after five seasons with the Bruins.

“Jamey has been an instrumental part of our program’s success for the past five seasons,” says Head Coach Bart Brooks. “He has been remarkably consistent and dependable as a member of our coaching staff. Jamey sets a great example for our players of balancing life as a successful professional while also being a great husband, father and coworker. He has helped us elevate our program to new heights on the court and in our community, and has earned the title of associate head coach.”

During his time as assistant coach, Givens has helped the Bruins go to four Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championships, four NCAA Tournament appearances, and the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win against No. 5 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs this past March to advance to the Round of 32.
