Victoria Sun was named the newest director of basketball operations for the Runnin’ Utes.
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah head men's basketball coach Alex Jensen has named Victoria Sun as the newest director of basketball operations for the Runnin' Utes.
Â
"I'm thrilled to have someone of Victoria's caliber join our staff," Jensen remarked. "She's been around basketball her whole life and has done everything at an award-winning level. We're fortunate to have Vic join our Runnin' Utes staff."
Â
Sun comes to Salt Lake City after spending the past six seasons at IMG Academy (2019-25) as the business manager for the basketball arm at the academy in Bradenton, Fla.
Â
"This is a very exciting time for the Utah basketball program," Sun said. "I'm honored to join the staff and be a part of this new chapter of the program's history. I have great respect for Coach Jensen and look forward to working with the staff and student-athletes."
Â
Sun made the move to the sports operation world in 2011 at Eastern Michigan. She would spend three seasons (2011-14) with the Eagles before taking the special assistant to the head coach role at Florida State for a season (2014-15) and then moved on to CSUN (2015-16).
Â
Sun then spent two seasons (2016-18) at George Washington as the director of operations before joining IMG Academy in 2019.
Â
She was also charged by the NCAA to lead the inaugural NCAA College Basketball Academy in 2019.
Â
An award-winning sports writer by trade out of college (1997-2011) and longstanding member of the US Basketball Writers Association, Sun's work has appeared in publications such as the Associated Press, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Riverside Press-Enterprise, Cincinnati Post and Las Vegas Sun. She was also a contributor to Lindy's preseason college basketball magazine and the Basketball Times.
Â
Sun is a 1997 graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. She was also member of the women's tennis team from 1993-95 with the Orange while also serving as a manager for the men's basketball team under legendary head coach Jim Boeheim.
