He comes to PC after serving the last two years as an assistant coach at George Mason.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Providence College Men's Basketball Head Coach Kim English announced today (April 7) the hiring of Nate Tomlinson as an assistant coach on his staff. Tomlinson worked under English the last two years as assistant coach at George Mason. Tomlinson becomes the second member of his staff as Dennis Felton was announced as an assistant coach earlier today. These are the first hires announced by English, who was named as the Friars' head coach on March 23. English spent the last two years as the head coach at George Mason University.
Tomlinson worked with English at Colorado prior to joining his staff at George Mason.
Tomlinson was a four-year letter winner for Colorado from 2008-12, averaging 5.2 points, 3.1 assists and just under one steal in 129 career games. He helped the Buffaloes claim the inaugural Pac-12 Tournament title in 2012, leading to the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in nine years. Colorado made a pair of postseason appearances during Tomlinson's playing career. The Buffaloes set a school-record with 24 wins in 2010-11, culminating with a semifinal appearance in the 2011 NIT. Tomlinson was a part of 74 wins as a Buffalo, which at the time was the best in school history. He is tied for sixth on the all-time CU assists list (406) and also holds that position in career games played (129) and started (111).
As a player in Boulder, Tomlinson earned All-Pac 12 honors during a decorated four-year stint, before embarking on a six-season professional career in his native Australia.
After graduating in 2012, he played professionally for Melbourne United of the National Basketball League in his native Australia (2012-18). Following his playing career, he joined the basketball staff at Shantou University in China, led by his father, Bill, for one season before returning to the United States in 2018.
Tomlinson returned to Boulder, joining Colorado as a coaching intern for the 2018-19 season. He also served as head coach of Team Colorado, the school's alumni squad in The Basketball Tournament, in the summer of 2019, guiding the Buffaloes to the second round.
Tomlinson and his wife, Rebecah, have three children, Millie, Keira and Nova.
"Nate Tomlinson is one of the best young coaches in America," English stated. "We are thrilled to welcome Nate and his beautiful family to help us continue to build upon a special basketball tradition here at Providence College. Nate and I have known each other since our days of prep school basketball in New England when we competed against one another. I have always admired him for being a tireless worker. When it comes to recruiting, he has very strong relationships globally. Nate has a great mind for the game and excels in building meaningful relationships with our student athletes."
