NORTHRIDGE, Calif -- CSUN head women's basketball coach Angie Ned has announced the hiring of Brittany Klaman as an assistant on the Matadors' 2025-26 coaching staff.
"I am thrilled to have Brittany join the staff," Ned said. "Her pay-it forward mentality directly aligns with the culture and foundation of the CSUN Women's Basketball program. Brittany is an incredible mentor and coach with great passion. Her work ethic and experience will directly provide a positive impact on the team and CSUN community!"
Klaman comes to CSUN after spending the last two seasons as the Director of Operations for the women's program at Long Beach State. In her time at LBSU, she helped the Beach to 31 wins, including a 12-8 Big West record in 2024-25. Long Beach earned a key win over first place Hawai'i in Manoa on December 7.Â
Prior to her time at Long Beach State, Klaman had a successful Division I playing career as a student-athlete at both Eastern Washington and California Baptist. She played three years (2021-23) under Coach Ned at CBU, averaging 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, while totaling 61 steals and 24 blocks. The Melbourne, Australia native helped the Lancers capture the 2021 WAC Championship in her first season.Â
In her final season at CBU, Klaman hit the game-winner versus Georgia Southern to help the Lancers advance to the WBI Championship game. She finished her collegiate career having played in 160 games to rank in the Top 5 in NCAA Division I games played.
"Accepting this position truly feels like a full-circle moment for me." Klaman said. "I had the privilege of playing under Coach Angie during my college years, and now having the opportunity to work alongside her is incredibly special."
Also honored for her performance in the classroom, Klaman was a three-time WAC All-Academic Team selection with the Lancers.
