Mykel Morse enters his second season as director of basketball operations to the CSUN Men's Basketball team in 2025-26.

Morse's first season at CSUN would be an historic one in Matador history with the team tying a school record with 22 victories. CSUN also set a new program record with 14 conference wins, finishing third in the Big West while the team also played in the National Invitation Tournament for the first time in team history.

Morse joined the Matadors after completing three outstanding seasons at West Valley College as a member of the program's men's basketball coaching staff. After beginning his tenure as an assistant coach, Morse was elevated to associate head coach where he helped the Vikings post a perfect 33-0 record and win the 3C2A championship in 2023-24. With Morse on the sidelines, WVC earned three consecutive 3C2A championship tournament berths as well as two championship game appearances. The Vikings would post an exceptional 87-9 record in his three seasons with the program.

While at WVC, Morse also served as the team's director of scouting and defensive coordinator. He helped the Vikings finish No. 1 in the state in fewest points per game allowed (60.5) in 2023-24.

Prior to West Valley, Morse spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, N.M. He would serve as the head coach of the development team and an assistant coach for the university's varsity. While at USW, Morse helped the team earn their highest conference seed in program history with a No. 3 seed in the 2019-20 season.

Originally from Parker, Colo., Morse played collegiate football at Scottsdale Community College before transferring to play at the University of Northern Colorado in the Big Sky Conference. Morse played two seasons at defensive back for UNC, recording 84 tackles total including 49 as a senior. In high school, Morse was a standout basketball and football player at Chaparral High School where he earned all-conference honors in both sports.
