“I’m excited to welcome Tim to BYU,” BYU head coach Kevin Young said. “He comes with very unique coaching experiences after coaching in the NBA G-League, Euroleague and being a head coach at different levels. Tim has traveled the world learning different philosophies and gained a strong network along the way. He’s a very intelligent coach with a strong background in player development. Our entire program will benefit from Tim’s expertise.”

During his time with Overtime Elite, Fanning worked with Alex Sarr, the projected No. 1 NBA draft pick in the 2024 draft.

Fanning and Young worked together during the 2013-14 season as assistant coaches with the Delaware 87ers in the NBA G-League.

Along with his experience at Overtime Elite, Fanning also coached at Maccabi Tel Aviv for five seasons.
