Jim Wooldridge is a former American college basketball coach and the current athletic director at the University of California, Riverside.^[1] Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Woolridge played on Putnam City High School's class 4A state basketball championship team in 1972. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Louisiana Tech in 1977, then earned a master’s degree in education from East Central University in 1979.^[2]

Coaching career

Wooldridge previously held the head coaching position at Central Missouri State, Southwest Texas State University, Kansas State University and Louisiana Tech University. He was also an assistant with the Chicago Bulls during the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 seasons under former college teammate Tim Floyd.

During his coaching career, he has inherited an NCAA sanctioned Louisiana Tech team and a Kansas State team that had won just nine games the previous season. While improving the Kansas State Wildcats program, he was unable to reach the postseason and was ultimately let go. He went on to work in the athletic department for Texas State before becoming the head coach at UC Riverside. In his first year at UC Riverside, Wooldridge led the team to their first postseason victory in four years; a 62–54 victory over Cal Poly in the first round of the Big West tournament. In his second year, he tied the record for most wins in a season at UC Riverside since moving to the Division I level. His former assistant at Texas State and Kansas State Mike Miller is the head coach at Eastern Illinois University.
