Andy Hurd enters his first season as a member of the Hartford men’s basketball team coaching staff in 2019-20. A local product of Windsor, Conn, Hurd joins the Hawks as the Director of Basketball Operations.
Hurd comes to Hartford by way of Pratt Community College in Kansas, where he was an assistant coach during the 2018-19 season. Prior to that stint, he spent one season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Trinity College.
Starting his collegiate playing career at Central Connecticut State University where he played two years of basketball (2012-14), Hurd transferred to Trinity College for his final two seasons. He helped lead the Bantams to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, including the team’s historic run to the Elite Eight in 2015, and was the team’s starting point guard as a senior captain in 2015-16.
Hurd spent the fall 2016 semester studying in Rome before graduating in December 2016 from Trinity with a degree in economics.
In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Hurd also has experience as a skill development trainer and an AAU coach in the Greater Hartford Area. He has worked at numerous camps over the past 10 years, including the John Gallagher’s “On The Floor” Basketball Camp, the Trinity College Nike Elite Basketball Camp, Howie Dickenman Basketball School, St. Bonaventure Basketball Camp and the Micah Lancaster’s “I’m Possible” Training Basketball Camp.
