Gebereal Baitey joined Tulane on staff as the Assistant Director of Student Athlete Development & Video Operations for the 2023-2024 season.
In his previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Emory University, Baitey helped his alma mater to a combined record of 37-15 as well as two appearances in the NCAA tournament. In his first season on the coaching staff, Baitey helped the Eagles win their third straight University Athletic Association championship with a 12-2 conference record and advance to the Round of 32 in the postseason.
He assisted in mentoring three different players to All-Region acclaim, including National Player of the Year finalist Matthew Schner, and oversaw five Eagles to All-UAA honors – notably Schner who captured UAA Player of the Year honors in 2021-22 and Benjamin Pearce, who landed UAA Rookie of the Year kudos in 2022-23.
Prior to his coaching stint, Baitey enjoyed a tremendous playing career with the Eagles as he led the team to four NCAA tournament appearances, a pair of UAA titles, and won 82 games from 2015-16 through 2018-19. At the time of his graduation, he ranked 11th on the Emory all-time chart with 191 assists and was 17th with 113 steals while appearing in 105 games.
Following his playing career, Baitey earned a master's degree in Childhood, Youth and Social Policy while continuing to play basketball in the United Kingdom at Loughborough University before going on to play one season in the NBL1 in Australia.
A native of Morristown, NJ, he got his coaching start at his former high school Newark Academy where he assisted the staffs in both football and basketball.
