Former Montana State basketball standout Xavier Bishop has returned to the program, this time as an assistant coach. Bishop, who ended his playing career with an ankle injury in the NCAA Tournament, expressed confidence in the program’s future. After playing overseas and serving as a graduate assistant at Utah State, Bishop is now back with the Bobcats under head coach Matt Logie.
Logie reached out to Bishop after losing an assistant coach and recognized the impact Bishop had on the program during his playing days. Bishop, now 27, is still learning the ropes of coaching but is focused on being a trustworthy figure for the players. His experience as a player and recent coaching stints have prepared him for this role.
Bishop’s return has been welcomed by current players who value his guidance and support. His ability to connect with recruits and players, provide scouting reports, and lead player development drills has been praised by Logie. Despite the challenges of transitioning from player to coach, Bishop is determined to make a positive impact on the program and help players succeed both on and off the court. With a strong support network of mentors, Bishop is eager to continue learning and growing in his coaching career.
