Lopez enters his second season with the Runnin’ Utes program in 2024-25 after joining the staff in June of 2023 as the director of scouting and video operations.
His first season with the Utes saw them reach the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament before finishing with an overall record of 22-15. The 22 wins in 2023-24 was the first time Utah had reached the 20-plus wins mark and most wins a single-season since 2017-18.
Lopez came to SLC after spending the 2022-23 season at Arkansas as the special assistant to the head coach. While on staff, Lopez oversaw the gathering and dissemination of analytics, preparation of film for advanced scouting and served as the academic liaison for a Razorbacks program that advanced to the Sweet 16 for a third-consecutive year.
Prior to joining Eric Musselman’s staff, Lopez served as the director of operations at South Dakota from 2020-22. While in Vermilion, S.D., Lopez was an integral part of the program with duties that included working with compliance, recruiting, team travel, academic monitoring, scheduling, practice planning and game preparation.
Before heading to South Dakota, Lopez spent four years at Grand Canyon – two as the video coordinator and two as a student manager under head coach Dan Majerle. During that time at his alma mater, the ‘Lopes compiled a 77-52 record and advanced to the conference tournament title game three-straight years.
The Phoenix native served as the video coordinator at Glendale Community College while he was a student before transferring to GCU. During his time on staff, the Gauchos advanced to the NJCAA Region I Division II playoffs and that time was highlighted by their win over Salt Lake CC – the 2016 national champions
Lopez earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing with a minor in sports management from GCU in the 2018 and added a master’s degree in leadership in 2021.
