Biography
Derrick Wrobel is in his first season as chief of staff for the GCU men's basketball program in 2025-26. After working 22 seasons for major college basketball coaching staffs and being a part of nine NCAA Tournament teams, Wrobel comes full circle returning to the Valley. A freshman student manager for Ole Miss, Wrobel watched head coach Bryce Drew become a March Madness legend with the buzzer-beating 3-pointer that upset Ole Miss in 1998. Wrobel followed Rob Evans from Ole Miss to Arizona State, where he graduated and worked his first four professional years as director of basketball operations. From there, he handled operations for Ben Braun at California, became assistant to the head coach for Steve Lavin at St. John's with Hall of Famer Gene Keady on the bench, returned to ASU under Bobby Hurley for five years, and joined Kyle Smith's staffs at Washington State and Stanford. Wrobel prioritizes three areas in a program – attitude, work ethic and pride. He holds a degree from Arizona State (2001).
