Louis Reynaud, a native Californian who was born and
raised in San Francisco, is in his ninth season with
the Golden Bear program and fourth as associate head
coach after serving five years as an assistant
coach.
Reynaud is well known in the coaching profession and
has the reputation as an excellent coach and
administrator with outstanding organizational and
leadership skills. There are very few areas in the
Cal basketball program in which Reynaud is not
directly involved. Among his many duties are
recruiting, scouting and game preparation,
supervising support staff, and overseeing the
valuable "Gold Team" walk-ons. Reynaud also
supervises a unique group of student managers. He is
the position coach for the Bears' post players.
Prior to coming to Cal, Reynaud compiled an 84-31
record as head basketball coach at nearby De La
Salle High School and led the Spartans to league
titles in 1994 and '96. Reynaud was a two-time Bay
Valley Athletic League Coach of the Year, and his
1996 team captured the Division I NorCal
championship and finished second in the state,
earning a No.1 ranking in the Bay Area for the first
time in school history.
Reynaud had his first head coaching opportunity at
St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School in Vallejo from
1990-93. He directed the Bruins to a 69-39 record,
three 20-win seasons and one Sac-Joaquin Section
title. From 1986-90, Reynaud served as assistant
varsity basketball coach at De La Salle HS.
In 1997, Reynaud was selected as head coach of the
West Squad at the Magic Johnson Round Ball Classic
for high school All-Americans, and he directed the
prestigious ABCD summer camp for five years.
In addition to his coaching experience, Reynaud
served as Dean of Students at De La Salle from
1993-97 and as Dean of Students at St. Patrick-St.
Vincent HS from 1990-93.
As a high school player, Reynaud was a standout at
Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco and
played for the late Lyle Newcomer at Skyline College
in San Bruno.
Reynaud received his bachelor's degree in liberal
studies along with his teaching credential from San
Francisco State in 1982 and a master's degree in
health/physical education from St. Mary's College in
1995. Reynaud and his wife, Cheryl, have one
daughter, Lauren, and reside in the East Bay. |
