Jon Judkins (born March 3, 1964) is an American basketball coach who is the current head coach of the Utah Tech Trailblazers men's basketball team.[1]
After a season at Dixie College (now Utah Tech University), Judkins transferred to Utah State where he was the first Aggie to post a triple-double, and was part of the team's 1988 NCAA tournament bid.[2] [3]
After graduation, Judkins joined the coaching staff at Snow College, where he was an assistant until 1993, when he was elevated to head coach. Over the next 12 seasons, he posted a 284–128 record before joining Utah Tech in 2005, guiding the team through its transition from junior college to NCAA status, first in Division II and in 2020, Division I as the Trailblazers join the Western Athletic Conference.[4]
Overall, Judkins has guided Utah Tech to 11-straight winning seasons, six Pacific West Conference championships, and eight NCAA Division II Tournament appearances.
Judkins' brother, Jeff, is a former National Basketball Association (NBA) player and former head coach of the BYU Cougars women's basketball team.[5]
