Evan Elberg

Evan Elberg enters his fourth campaign as an assistant coach with the men’s basketball program in 2022-23. Elberg saw the Bullets post a six-game improvement in the win column in his first season on the bench. The team battled throughout the 2019-20 campaign, staying in the hunt well into the final seconds against national contenders like Swarthmore College and Johns Hopkins University. Gettysburg averaged over 72 points per game for the first time in 12 years and the squad set a new program standard with 200 made three-pointers on the year. Last season, he helped guide the Bullets into an appearance in the conference semifinals and 15-10 overall record. Off the court, Elberg serves as a Student-Athlete Impact Leader (SAIL) Staff Advisor and helps with Campus Rec.

Elberg arrived in Gettysburg following four seasons on the bench as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator for the Lions. Primarily working with the guards and overall team defense, he helped guide TCNJ to the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) playoffs in each of his first four seasons. In 2016, the Lions made their first appearance in the NJAC tournament championship game since 1998. The coaching staff was then honored during the 2017-18 campaign with the New Jersey Athletic Conference Coaching Staff of the Year award after finishing the regular season runner-up with a 14-4 mark in league play.

During his four years at TCNJ, Elberg accumulated a 66-40 overall record and 46-26 conference record. In 2015-16 and 2017-18, the team led the NJAC in three-point shooting, averaging 9.6 and 10.7 three-pointers made per game, respectively.

Elberg came to TCNJ from Washington College (Md.) after serving as the assistant there for the 2014-15 season. Before joining the Washington (Md.) staff, he was an assistant at his Alma Mater, Drew University, where he had a successful four-year career. In the summer of 2015, Elberg helped guide the 15U NJ Roadrunners to an N.J. State Title. Currently, Elberg is coaching the U17 Jersey Force Select team.

As a player, Elberg played under former Gettysburg assistant coach Darryl Keckler at Drew. The native of North Caldwell, N.J., appeared in a total of 65 games and posted 113 points and 48 assists. He graduated from Drew in 2013 with a degree in business studies.
