Sean Bair enters his first season as an assistant coach for the Penn State Lady Lions in 2024-25 after serving on staff as the video coordinator earlier in his career.
Bair most recently spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J. In his first season with the Hawks, he helped coach the team to a 12-win campaign, including a seven-win improvement in conference play. The season marked the largest turnaround from one season to the next in program history while the Hawks saw their most overall and conference wins since the 2018-19 season.
Prior to his time at Monmouth, Bair spent a season in Happy Valley. While on the Penn State staff, he used video and analytics to increase the team’s conference wins by six from the previous year, including a signature win over no. 15 Ohio State. He worked closely creating player development videos, evaluating recruits and generating post game reports.
After graduating from Dickinson College in 2012, Bair went back to school seven years later and became a graduate assistant at Arkansas where he earned a master’s degree while working with the Razorbacks men’s basketball team. His duties at Arkansas included recruiting graphics, logistical organization, strategic research and many other responsibilities within the program.
Bair earned his master’s degree in Adult and Life Long Learning from Arkansas and went on to be the head boys basketball coach at New Oxford High School in Pennsylvania from 2013-19. He saw significant success throughout his head coaching sting, securing three-straight winning seasons including two trips to the PIAA 5A postseason in 2017 and 2018. His team earned 20-plus win seasons in 2018-19 as well. In his final season as the leader of the boys basketball program at New Oxford, he garnered GameTimePA Coach of the Year honors in 2019.
