He is a fantastic coach, a fantastic recruiter and excels in every aspect that it takes to run a program. I think Coach Gates fits that mold perfectly. "As I was transitioning out of being a head coach, I wanted to work with someone with integrity and knowledge of the game. "I've known Coach Gates most of my entire life and the one thing that I've always known about him is he is a man of high character," Lottich said. He fits perfectly with what we're looking to achieve at Mizzou." He had success leading a program in both the Missouri Valley Conference and Horizon League and his extensive knowledge of the game will be a tremendous asset to our staff and team. "I have known Matt for a number of years and his winning experience as a head coach will no doubt elevate Mizzou. "I couldn't be more excited to add Coach Lottich to our staff," said Whitten Family Men's Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates. In 10 years overall as a head and assistant coach, Lottich won 184 games on the sideline with three regular-season championships, one conference tournament title and five invitations to postseason tournaments. During his tenure, the Beacons won one regular-season conference championship, while he also helped lead Valpo to its first Missouri Valley Conference Championship game in any sport in 2020.
Lottich compiled 108 wins in seven years leading the Valparaiso program from 2016 to 2023, ranking third in school history for victories. Bringing more than 100 head coaching victories to the Missouri men's basketball program, Matt Lottich is joining the Tigers staff as special assistant to the head coach, announced on Wednesday.
