Danny Karliak has been named Director of Basketball Operations at Cleveland State University. 

Karliak enters his second season on the Cleveland State staff after serving as Assistant Director of Basketball Operations last season. Karliak played a vital role in the success of the program, helping to lead the Vikings to a third straight season of 20 or more victories in 2022-23. Prior to Cleveland State he served in a variety of operations and coaching roles at IMG Academy and the International Sports Academy among others.

“I’m thrilled to announce Danny’s promotion,” Coach Robinson said. “He is highly organized and was crucial in assisting with all of our operational needs this past season. His enthusiasm for CSU and positive attitude will impact the program in a number of ways and he has hit the ground running in his new role.”

In his new role as Director of Basketball Operations, he will work hand-in-hand with Coach Robinson to oversee all aspects of the program. Some of those areas include team travel, academics, budget management, and the day-to-day schedule. Karliak also serves as the liaison from the program to athletic administration and campus groups.
