Andy Enfield was named Head Men's Basketball Coach at SMU on April 1, 2024.
In his second season at SMU, he led the program to its first NCAA Tournament since 2017. The Mustangs recorded a pair of top-25 wins for the first time in six seasons and were ranked in the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches Poll for the first time in nine seasons. SMU tied for the most All-ACC honorees with three and finished in the top-30 nationally in scoring, assists, field-goal percentage and three-point percentage.
SMU was 20-14 this past season and the Mustangs are 44-25 in his first two seasons, including a 21-17 ACC record. He is the first SMU head coach to win at least 20 games in each of his first two seasons. In 15 seasons as a head coach, Enfield is 305-200 overall. His teams have won 20 or more games nine of the last 11 years.
In his first season, the Mustangs went 24-11 and earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT. The Mustangs went 13-7 in the program’s inaugural ACC season to tie for fourth, recording a 7-3 road mark in league play. SMU also won the Acrisure Holiday Invitational. The Mustangs were one of just two teams in the nation with six players averaging at least 9.9 points and one of just eight teams in the NCAA top 50 for field-goal percentage and field-goal defense. SMU signed the nation’s fourth-ranked high school recruiting class, which is the best in program history.
A proven winner, Enfield has led three different programs to the NCAA Tournament. He is one of 24 active coaches to have led three universities to March Madness. He burst onto the coaching scene in 2013 when, in his second year as a head coach, he guided Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Following that success, he was hired by the University of Southern California (USC), where he led the Trojans to the Elite Eight in 2021. The Mustangs earned an NCAA bid in his second season on the Hilltop.
He came to SMU after 11 seasons at USC, where he compiled a 220-147 record. After two seasons rebuilding the program, the Trojans had the most successful nine-year stretch in program history. During Enfield’s last nine seasons, the Trojans were 12-9 against crosstown rival UCLA, which was the best run against the Bruins in 80 years. Enfield's 220 wins ranks third on USC's all-time wins list.
Enfield brought in eight consecutive top-30 recruiting classes, with the 2022 class ranking No. 7 nationally and the 2023 class ranking No. 4 nationally.
Over his final seven seasons at USC, the Trojans had eight players selected in the NBA Draft, tied for the fifth-most by any program in the country, with Evan Mobley going No. 3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft and Onyeka Okongwu being selected No. 6 in the 2020 Draft. In total, 11 players during Enfield's time at USC have played in the NBA.
Enfield captivated the nation in 2013 as the head coach at FGCU, as he guided the first-ever No. 15 seed into the NCAA Sweet Sixteen with impressive wins over second-seeded Georgetown and seventh-seeded San Diego State and introduced the world to "Dunk City," FGCU's high-flying and high-speed offense which often ended with thunderous dunks. Enfield led the Eagles to a school-record 26 wins that season, including a victory over a Miami team that finished ranked No. 5. The Eagles won the Atlantic Sun Tournament in resounding fashion in just the school's second season of NCAA Division I postseason eligibility and became the first team since Florida in 1987 to win the first two NCAA Tournament games it ever played. In his first year at FGCU (2011-12), he led the team to the Atlantic Sun Tournament Championship game.
Prior to FGCU, Enfield spent five years (2006-07 through 2010-11) as an assistant coach at Florida State, helping the Seminoles to three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths (2009-11), including the Sweet 16 in 2011. He helped the Seminoles sign three straight Top-25 classes, with the 2008 class ranking in the Top 10, and build a 2011 FSU roster that featured 11 top-100 recruits and a pair of McDonald's All-Americans.
Enfield began his coaching career in the NBA, serving as the shooting coach for the Milwaukee Bucks for two seasons (1994-96). He then was an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics for two seasons (1998-2000).
Enfield played four seasons (1987-88 through 1990-91) at Johns Hopkins, scoring a program-record 2,025 career points. He set the NCAA all-divisions career free throw percentage record (92.5, hitting 431-of-466 shots). He was a Division III All-America third-team selection in 1991 and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001. He was a GTE Academic All-America first-team selection as a senior and second-teamer as a junior. He was the first basketball player at Johns Hopkins to earn an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was named the NABC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1991.
Enfield prepped at Shippensburg (PA) High, earned his economics degree from Johns Hopkins University and has an MBA from the University of Maryland.
Enfield and his wife Amanda are parents to Aila, Lily, and Marcum.
