GREELEY, Colo. - Northern Colorado women's basketball head coach Kristen Mattio announced the addition of DeAndre Betty as the program's new Assistant Women's Basketball Coach/Director of Women's Basketball Operations on Wednesday afternoon.
Betty joins the Bears after most recently serving as the Director of Player Development for the Fresno State women's basketball team.
"We are thrilled to have DeAndre and his entire family join our Bear family!" Mattio said. "DeAndre brings strong ties from Arizona and California. His relentless work ethic and passion for the player development of athletes and being a student of the game align perfectly with the values we have built here at UNC. With coaching stops at Fresno State, Nevada, and Arizona State, his overall experience and approach to serving our young ladies in our program is a perfect fit! I am beyond excited to welcome DeAndre, his wife Lisa, 5-year-old daughter Taytum, and 3-year-old son Koa to Greeley!"
Betty brings a wide range of experience to Greeley, having worked in various roles at the collegiate and professional levels. At Fresno State, he was instrumental in coordinating player development, recruiting logistics, skill-specific training, and post-game film breakdown. He also led community engagement initiatives through youth camps and outreach programming.
Prior to Fresno State, Betty served as a Graduate Assistant at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he managed film analysis, practice data, and team operations. He has also worked in support roles at Arizona State, Nevada, Fresno State, and with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, gaining valuable insight into video coordination, compliance, and team culture.
A tech-savvy coach, Betty is skilled in platforms like Synergy Sports, Final Cut Pro, Fast Scout, and Canva, giving him a modern approach to scouting, film, and communication.
Betty holds a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Arizona State University with concentrations in Film and Media Production and Communication.
DeAndre and his wife, Lisa, have two children, Taytum and Koa.
