Chancelor Huth was named as an assistant coach prior to the 2019-20 season, after spending a year on the SMU staff as a graduate assistant.
"I am extremely excited to add Chance to our coaching staff," said head coach Travis Mays. "His enthusiasm about learning and fulfilling the goals of our program is off the charts. He brings the intangibles we need and is a great teacher of the game. His growth over the past year is immeasurable."
Huth graduated from Michigan State in 2017. During his time in East Lansing, he worked as a student assistant. After graduating, Huth joined the women's basketball staff at UCLA. His role at SMU increased to fill the void in the coaching staff midway through the 2018-19 season.
"Chance is a rising star in our profession. He is proactive, organized, a great teacher and he connects and inspires student athletes. I have the utmost respect for Chance and we will be hearing about him in the coming years with his impact on women's basketball," said UCLA head coach Cori Close. "SMU is lucky to have him and he is fortunate to be a part of the Mustang Family."
