Eli Gross, Assistant Director of Operations, Men's Basketball
Sun Devil Men's Basketball promoted Eli Gross to Assistant Director of Operations as part of their offseason staff upgrades ahead of the 2025-26 season. Gross has been with the program each of the past three seasons, dedicating time and effort to ensure the success of Men's Basketball at Arizona State.
"I’m thrilled to be officially joining the ASU Men’s Basketball staff full time after three years with the program as a Graduate Assistant and Student Manager," Gross reflected. "It’s an incredible honor to keep growing and learning under Coach Hurley, and I’m excited to contribute to the team’s continued success. I look forward to growing in my career here at ASU and pushing myself to excel both personally and professionally within the program."
Gross worked with Director of Operations Mickey Mitchell in managing the daily administrative, logistical and facility needs of the men's basketball program. That includes overseeing budgets, event planning, student staff, equipment, and team travel, while also ensuring compliance with institutional, conference and NCAA rules and policies.
The 2024 Arizona State graudate is the perfect fit for the role having served in a similiar capacity last season as the team's Graduate Assistant. Prior to his year as a GA, Gross was a student manager for the program for two seasons. He has gained valuable experience each of the past three years and will now be an integral part of the day-to-day operations of Sun Devil Men's Basketball.
