Andy Enfield was named Head Men's Basketball Coach at SMU on April 1, 2024.
In his first season on the Hilltop, he led the Mustangs to a 24-11 overall record and earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT. The Mustangs went 13-7 in the program’s inaugural season in the ACC to tie for fourth, recording a 7-3 road record 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. In 14 seasons as a head coach, Enfield is 285-186 overall while leading teams to eight of a possible 13 postseasons, including seven of the past nine.
A proven winner, Enfield 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 five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2021.
He came to SMU after 11 seasons at USC, where he compiled a 220-147 record. Enfield quickly brought success to the basketball program upon his arrival, as the Trojans set a school single-season win record and posted the most wins in program history over two-year, three-year, four-year, five-year, six-year, seven-year and eight-year periods. Enfield's 220 wins ranks third on USC's all-time wins list, trailing only Sam Barry (260) and Forrest Twogood (251). In 13 seasons as a head coach Enfield has a 261-175 mark.
His teams also excelled in the classroom by setting the program's top team GPAs. Enfield brought in eight consecutive Top-30 recruiting classes, with the 2022 class ranking No. 7 and the 2023 class ranking No. 4.
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. USC was one of three teams to have had at least one player selected in six of the last seven NBA Drafts. In total, 11 players during Enfield's time at USC have made 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.
