Jaden Uken enters his seventh season on staff at Stony Brook and his fourth as an assistant coach. Uken was elevated to Assistant Coach for the 2022-23 season, aiding the program in its transition to the Coastal Athletic Association.
Uken rejoined his former boss, Geno Ford, as the Director of Basketball Operations at Stony Brook for the 2019-20 season, holding that position for three seasons.
Prior to joining the Seawolves, Uken spent three seasons at Fordham University as the team's Director of Basketball Operations. He also served as an assistant coach for the Rams in the 2015-16 season.
Before his time in the Bronx, Uken was the recruiting coordinator under Ford at Bradley University, helping the Braves to one of the nation's best turnarounds in the 2012-13 season, winning 11 more games than the previous season. He also helped Ford secure a star-filled recruiting class in 2013-14, including a Top-100 high school recruit, a junior college All-American, and a pair of NJCAA All-Region First-Team selections.
Uken was also part of Ford's first staff at Kent State that was responsible in aiding the Golden Flashes to back-to-back Mid-American Conference regular-season titles and NIT bids in the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
