UCLA Hires Former Guard Singleton as Assistant Coach

David Singleton, a former UCLA guard who played five seasons for the Bruins and set the school record for most games played with 164, has been hired as an assistant coach under head coach Mick Cronin. Singleton, who graduated in 2023 with a sociology degree, spent the past two seasons playing for the College Park Skyhawks, the NBA G League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks. During his playing career at UCLA, Singleton was instrumental in three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a remarkable run from the First Four to the Final Four in 2021 and a Pac-12 regular-season title in his final year. Cronin praised Singleton for his leadership, work ethic, and deep understanding of the program and coaching, highlighting his passion and potential to make a significant impact in his new role. Singleton expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return to his alma mater and contribute to the Bruins' legacy as an assistant coach. He replaces Brendyn Taylor, who left for a similar position at Loyola Chicago.
