Ryan Krueger returns to Lehigh after one season with the University of Oklahoma men’s basketball staff. A 2000 Lehigh graduate, Krueger reunites with head coach Brett Reed and associate head coach Antoni Wyche on the Mountain Hawks’ coaching staff. Krueger was a Lehigh assistant during the Mountain Hawks’ 2009-10 Patriot League Championship season before departing for the Big 12 last year. 

 
Krueger has a variety of experience in his basketball coaching career, perhaps none more valuable than his time as an NBA assistant coach with the New Jersey Nets. His experiences proved important during Lehigh’s Patriot League Championship season through the development of players, through his ability to do technical work with advance scouting and more. 
 
"I had the opportunity to work first-hand with Ryan," said Reed. "I was able to see his contributions to our program in the areas of player development and advance scouting. He was very instrumental to our championship season and has been and will continue to be very well received by our players as they recognize and respect his basketball ability."
 
A tremendous work ethic led Krueger from his time as an engineering student at Lehigh to his four-year stint with the Nets (2003-07), a Big 12 power in Oklahoma, then ultimately back to Bethlehem for his second stint with the Mountain Hawks’ staff.
 
Krueger first started out as an assistant video coordinator with the Nets, then was quickly promoted in successive years to being on the bench in the NBA for two seasons. Upon completion of his time with the Nets, he went onto experiences at Rutgers and then as a head coach of a professional team (the Maryland GreenHawks) out of the Premier Basketball League before returning to Lehigh in 2009-10.   
 
Krueger began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for Virginia Commonwealth University in August of 2002.
