UC San Diego

Daniel Eberhardt joins the UC San Diego men's basketball coaching staff in 2025-26. Eberhardt has experience in college basketball at multiple levels in a variety of roles.
 
In 2024-25, Eberhardt was a member of the staff at Loyola Marymount, helping to lead LMU to two separate win streaks of five games apiece. The Lions closed out non-conference play with five wins in a row and then, for the first time since 1991, won five consecutive games in conference play. Before joining the Lions, Eberhardt served as an assistant coach in 2023-24 at Pepperdine. Prior to his season with the Waves, Eberhardt was an assistant coach with the Cal Poly women’s basketball program.
 
With head coaching experience at Division II Holy Names in Oakland, Calif., from 2020-22, Eberhardt is the second former head coach that Allard has hired this offseason, joining fellow new assistant coach Rich Shayewitz.
 
Prior to leading the Hawks, Eberhardt spent six years as an assistant at Cal State East Bay (2014-20) and two at his alma mater, Cal Maritime (2012-14).

At Cal State East Bay, Eberhardt helped lead the men's program to its first-ever NCAA Division II ranking, and the team set two school records for wins in a season. His recruiting efforts at East Bay led to 10 All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) selections, two NCAA DII All-West region members, and a CCAA Newcomer of the Year honoree. 

Eberhardt graduated from Maritime in 2012 and then stayed local, guiding the Keelhaulers to two conference championships and helping the team achieve its highest NAIA national ranking in school history. 
 
While playing at Cal Maritime, the 6-1 guard was named a team captain and earned All-Conference honors as well as the NAIA Dr. LeRoy Walker Champion of Character award and president of the Keelhaulers' chapter of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee.
