Aaron Loredo begins his second season as a graduate assistant coach with the men’s basketball program at Nichols College in 2020-21.
In his first season on head coach Brandon Linton’s staff, Loredo helped guide the Bison to their fourth-consecutive Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship in 2019-20. Backed by CCC All-Conference performers DeAnte Bruton (First Team), Matt Morrow (Second Team), and Nate Tenaglia (Defensive Player of the Year), the Bison advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four years with a 74-72 win at Stevens Institute in the First Round.
Loredo was a member of the Salem State University coaching staff in 2018-19 and helped the Vikings capture the Massachusetts Small College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Championship and a berth into the NCAA Tournament. He helped organize and create practice plans, prepared game plans for opponents, held 1-on-1 workout sessions with student-athletes, implemented player development strategies, recruited potential student-athletes, and organized recruiting visits.
Loredo spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Massachusetts Evolution (AAU) before becoming the head coach of the New England Playmakers (AAU). He assisted four varsity level teams while with the Evolution and honed his teaching fundamentals and communication skills with the Playmakers.
A three-time Dean’s List student, Loredo graduated from Salem State in 2018 with a degree in Sport & Movement Science and a minor in Spanish. He received his Certificate of Competency in Coaching from the University the same year after completing 18 credits of coaching-related courses.
