AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts men's basketball head coach Frank Martin announced the promotion of Jake Hayden to Director of Basketball Operations on Thursday afternoon. Hayden spent last season as an administrative and graduate assistant with the men's basketball program following four years as a student manager.
"The Hayden name is one that is popular among the athletic department at UMass," said Martin. "From the first day on campus, I realized that Jake Hayden, who used to be the head manager before I got here, had the potential to become a phenomenal employee. After serving one year as an administrative assistant, we've promoted him to Director of Basketball Operations. He bleeds UMass through and through, as does his family, and he's going to be a tremendous asset to the working environment in our office."
Hayden is currently pursuing his master's degree in business analytics at the Isenberg School of Management and received his undergraduate degree from the McCormack Sport Management program in 2022.
"I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that Coach Martin has given me, especially growing up in a UMass basketball family," said Hayden. "I look forward to continuing my work here at my alma mater and adding value here at UMass basketball."
