Markus Black made the jump from the men's basketball program to the women's basketball program at Cal State San Bernardino in the summer of 2025, serving in the same role of assistant coach.
Markus was initially hired as the CSUSB men’s basketball assistant coach in July 2023. Black came to Cal State San Bernardino from the University of Arkansas, where he had been a graduate assistant under head coach Eric Musselman and coach Argenal.
“Markus is a rising star in college basketball. He combines SEC-level experience while at Arkansas with winning head coaching experience as a high school coach in Florida. We worked together for the last two seasons, and I was able to witness his dedication, hard work, and loyalty firsthand. He is an elite skill developer who has a great basketball mind in scouting and in-game situations. He is multidimensional as a coach, and his competitiveness will have an immediate impact on our program. We are lucky to have him aid in the development of our student- athletes.” – Head Coach Gus Argenal
