Jason Levy completed his fourth season coaching the Matadors alongside Head Coach Reggie Theus.Â
In 2016-17, the Matadors won 11 games and finished sixth in the Big West Conference, earning a trip to the conference tournament. With Levy on the sidelines, the Matadors earned a trip to the 2014 Big West Conference Tournament championship game after a 17-win season.Â
Levy came to CSUN after serving five seasons as an assistant at Loyola Marymount of the West Coast Conference.
While at LMU, he helped the Lions advance to the semifinals at the 2013 West Coast Conference Championships for the second time in three years. He also recruited 10 WCC All-Conference selections that included three 1,000-point scorers and helping lead the team to wins over nationally-ranked teams including Gonzaga, St. Mary’s, UCLA and St. Louis. In 2011-12, the Lions defense ranked 20th in three-point field goal defense (.302).  Â
Prior to his assistant coaching duties at Loyola Marymount, Levy spent eight seasons at Cal State Fullerton where he helped the Titans win the Big West regular season (the first conference regular title since 1976) and conference tournament titles during the 2007-08 season that earned Fullerton its first trip to the NCAA Tournament in 32 years. With Levy, the Titans boasted four straight winning seasons, including 20 wins or more in three of the last five years, and his recruiting efforts included some of the best players in Titans history including Bobby Brown, the Titans’ all-time leading scorer. Levy was also recognized in 2002 as one of the top 20 assistants at mid-major schools by Rivals100Hoops.com. Â
Levy also coached as an assistant at the University of Portland after spending two seasons at Long Beach State and one at UC Irvine.Â
After graduating from CSUN in 1993 with a degree in Leisure Studies & Recreation, Levy began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant to Rudy Washington at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He also coached at the Double Pump Camps at Cal State Dominguez Hills in 1992-93.  Â
Levy’s roots grew in New York where he played high school basketball at La Salle Academy in Manhattan before venturing west and playing two seasons at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo. Â
He has one son, Kyle.
