Second Season at Duquesne
Chase Goldstein joined the coaching staff at Duquesne in May of 2024.
Goldstein joined the Dukes after spending the last two seasons at the University of Missouri, where he served two years as director of operations as well as the 2023-24 campaign as chief of staff. In his first year with the Tigers, Goldstein helped Mizzou record the seventh-largest turnaround in NCAA Division I, including the most among programs from a power conference. The Tigers finished with 12 wins in 2021-22 but improved to 25-10 (.714) in 2022-23, including an 11-7 (.611) mark in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Missouri advanced to the NCAA Tournament, reaching the second round after a 76-65 win over Utah State in Sacramento, Calif.
“Chase Goldstein has all the tools necessary to excel in leading our student-athletes,” said head coach Dru Joyce III. “He will star in his new role as assistant coach, guiding the staff in program and player development. Through his journey, Coach Goldstein has elevated every staff he has been a part of, helping guide Missouri to an NCAA Tournament in his first year. I know Coach Goldstein will continue to share his knowledge and experience with our student-athletes and undoubtedly help us strive for championships in the classroom, on the court and in the community.”
Prior to joining the staff at Missouri, Goldstein, a native of Coral Springs, Fla., spent three seasons at Cleveland State from 2019 to 2022 as director of basketball operations. During his three seasons on staff with the Vikings, CSU finished with an overall record of 60-40 (.600), including a ledger of 38-21 (.644) in the Horizon League. Cleveland State claimed a pair of Horizon League regular-season championships (2021, 2022) and also won the 2021 Horizon League Tournament crown, securing an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the Duquesne basketball family,” said Goldstein. “There is a lot of momentum around the program and the University coming off a highly successful season thanks to an Atlantic 10 title and NCAA Tournament appearance. Dru is the perfect coach to lead the Dukes and continue to build on that recent success. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work side-by-side with him as we establish Duquesne as one of the premier programs in college basketball.”
Goldstein is a 2016 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. During his time in Fort Myers, Fla., Goldstein spent three years with the men’s basketball program as a manager for the Eagles. In each of those three seasons FGCU appeared in the postseason, including a run to the Sweet 16 of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the 2014 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and the 2015 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
Upon graduating from Florida Gulf Coast, Goldstein served as video coordinator for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) during the 2015-16 season. In that role, Goldstein edited opponent clips, generated offensive and defensive sets of opponents and compiled video edits for potential playoff matchups. While also serving as video coordinator for the Hornets, Goldstein worked under Patrick Ewing, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, in post development and worked closely with Al Jefferson, Frank Kaminsky, Spencer Hawes and Tyler Hansbrough.
Goldstein returned to FGCU for the 2016-17 campaign, serving as assistant coordinator of operations. The Eagles claimed the 2017 Atlantic Sun regular-season championship and set a school record for victories, finishing 26-8 (.765) and advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
From 2017-19, Goldstein served on the video coordinator staff at Florida State. In two seasons with the Seminoles, FSU finished with an overall record of 52-20 (.722) and reaching the Elite Eight of the of the 2018 NCAA Tournament as well as the Sweet 16 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Following his final season with the Seminoles, Goldstein was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) 30 Under 30 Team, which recognizes the most outstanding men’s basketball coaches under the age of 30.
