Andy Newman enters his fifth year leading the CSUSB men's basketball program in 2022-23. He arrived in 2018 after a highly successful run at the University of Texas Permian Basin. In his time leading the Yotes, Newman has accumulated a 60-26 (.698) overall record with a 43-19 (.694) conference record. He has also led the Yotes to back-to-back CCAA regular season titles, three consective NCAA West Regional appearances, as well as four consecutive trips to the CCAA Tournament. Newman was named CCAA Coach of the Year in both 2021-22 and 2022-23.
 
At Division II UTPB, located in Odessa, Texas, Newman's teams have had five-straight winning seasons, racking up 101 wins. In that time, the Falcons made the postseason every year, and advanced to the NCAA Division II tournament his last two seasons.
 
He led a Coyote group that featured only one returner to the CCAA Tournament in 2018-19 with a 15-14 record including a win over No. 16 UC San Diego. Three of his players were selected All-CCAA.
 
Newman is no stranger to California or the California State University. Prior to coaching the Falcons, Newman was at Division I Cal State Fullerton for 10 years, nine as the associate head coach, and one year as the interim head coach where under his leadership, despite losing an unprecedented six core players to season-ending injuries, the team still had some noteworthy accomplishments. With an overall record of 14-18, the Titans led the conference in scoring, at 76.9 points per game, 17th in the nation; second in the conference in field goal percentage at 47 percent, 23rd in the nation; and first in the conference in 3–point field goals at 8.3, 15th in the nation.
 
Prior to Cal State Fullerton, Newman served as the basketball operations coordinator for a season at Division I Fresno State. Coaching for the 2002-03 Western Athletic Conference champions, he gave individual instruction to guard and post players, assisted in recruiting and scheduling, and broke down film.
 
Newman started his coaching career as an assistant at Vanguard University for one season before serving in the same capacity for two seasons at West Valley Community College in Saratoga, California, where he started his collegiate playing career.
 
A 1998 graduate of Azusa Pacific University with a degree in business finance, he helped the Cougars win 30-plus games with a trip to the NAIA Final Four in 1998. Prior to his one season at Azusa Pacific, he spent a year at Southern Utah University where he led the Thunderbirds in minutes and assists. He earned his master's in coaching and athletic administration degree from Concordia University.
 
Newman's wife, Kellie, also has roots in California. She grew up in Lancaster and played for the women's soccer team at Cal State Fullerton. The couple have two children, Luke and Kade who Newman described as "extraordinary T-ball players. We're keeping it in the family."
