Sean Mock enters his seventh season as an assistant coach at Tulane for the 2023-24 campaign.
During his tenure with the Green Wave, Mock has helped Tulane accumulate 89 victories including the program's first 20-win season in 2022-23 since 2012-13 and the program’s first postseason berth since 2014 with a trip to the Inaugural College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas.
During the 2024-25 campaign, Tulane led the American Conference in field goal percentage holding opponents to 41.1 percent shooting from the floor. The Wave matched its best performance in league play finishing with a 12-6 mark to place fourth. Mock also helped three players earn all-conference honors after the 24-25 season (Rowan Brumbaugh – First Team, Kaleb Banks – Second Team, Kam Williams – Freshman Team).
In 2022-23 the Green Wave lead the conference in scoring (79.9), assists (15.6), and free throw percentage (77.7). Tulane also led the nation in possessions per game averaging 77.0 possessions per contest. The Wave finished the season with a 12-6 league record and posted his best finish in the AAC since joining the conference in 2014 by landing third.
Tulane has led the AAC in free throw percentage in three of Mock’s four seasons with the Green Wave. The Wave has also produced seven all-conference performers during Mock’s tenure including two first team honors by Jalen Cook (2022 & 2023) and the Most Improved Player Award recipient Kevin Cross in 2022.
Mock came to New Orleans after one season on Ron Hunter’s staff at Georgia State after joining the program in September 2018 as special assistant to the head coach.
Mock previously served as an assistant coach at Henderson State for the 2017-18 campaign, following a two-year stint at Northwood University.
At Northwood, he worked directly with guards and wings including all-league point guard Maurice Jones who went on to play professionally in Canada. In his final season with the Timberwolves, Mock was elevated to associate head coach as well as recruiting coordinator and assisted in signing six players.
Prior to his stint at Northwood, Mock was the director of basketball operations at Miami University (Ohio) for four years. There, Mock assisted with the day-to-day duties responsibilities of the team. He also served as a volunteer assistant coach for one year during the 2011-12 season.
A four-year letterwinner at Miami, Mock played under head coach Charlie Coles and was selected as the team’s co-captain his senior season. He earned the Spirit of Miami Award, which is presented annually to both a male and female student-athlete for their exceptional enthusiastic commitments to their team. He also twice earned the team’s Marshal North Award, which is given to the player who best exemplifies the virtue of loyalty to the University, the team, and coaches, and whose personal sacrifice of time, effort and energy contribute materially to the advancement of the record of the team.
Mock earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Miami in 2010. He and his wife Andrea were married in the fall of 2015.
A native of Oxford, Ohio, Mock earned multiple honors from Talawanda High School, where he led the team to a conference championship.
