Peyton Siva Promoted to Louisville Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach

Peyton Siva, a University of Louisville basketball legend and starting point guard on the 2013 NCAA Championship team, has been promoted to assistant coach under head coach Pat Kelsey. Previously serving as Director of Player Development and Basketball Alumni Relations, Siva will now take on expanded responsibilities with recruiting and on-court player development while maintaining his alumni relations and community engagement roles. His mentorship was pivotal in the development of point guard Chucky Hepburn, an All-ACC First Teamer and ACC Defensive Player of the Year, whose growth was a defining factor for Louisville’s successful 27-8 season and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024-25. Siva replaces Brian Kloman, who was promoted to Executive Director of Player Personnel and Strategic Initiatives. Praised for his expertise, infectious energy, and deep connection to Louisville, Siva is recognized as an invaluable asset bridging the program's storied past with its promising future. His move to assistant coach reflects both his impact on player development and his role in recruiting the next generation of Cardinals.
