Bryan Wickliffe was named the Assistant Coach of the Case Western Reserve University men's basketball team before the start of the 2022-23 season.

The Spartans have seen unprecedented success with Wickliffe on the staff, winning the University Athletic Association Championship and setting the program record for wins in a season in each of his two years with the team. Under his tutelage, CWRU reached the round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament in 2022-23 and the round of 16 in 2023-24, going 45-9 (.833) over the two seasons. CWRU was ranked as high as second in the D3hoops.com Top 25 in 2023-24, the highest national ranking in program history.

Wickliffe helped to mentor a pair of D3hoops.com All-Americans in Mitch Prendergast (2022-23) and Anthony Mazzeo (2023-24). Five players have earned All-UAA honors during his tenure with the Spartans, while five have secured D3hoops.com All-Region acclaim.

Wickliffe arrived at CWRU after a three-season run as the assistant coach at Muskingum University, where he was involved in all day-to-day operations and facets of the program, including player development, game planning, scouting, and recruiting. He helped coach four players to All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors.

In addition to his work with the team, he helped to create an African American Male group on campus called Brothas of the Village and continued to help mentor the group. He also developed a mentorship program called "7 Ways of Being Academically Successful in College," while at Muskingum.

Before his time at Muskingum, Wickliffe served as the assistant men's basketball coach at Heidelberg University from 2013-18 and also had a stint as the men's and women's tennis coach at the school from 2016-2018.

Wickliffe began his coaching career at his alma mater, the College of Wooster, from 2011-13. He joined the Scots' coaching staff shortly after his outstanding playing career for the program came to an end, during which he was a starter for all four seasons and led the team to a 102-21 record. The squad made the NCAA Division III Tournament all four years of his career, including a trip to the round of 16 in 2010, and he finished his career with over 1,000 points and 750 rebounds.

Wickliffe received his Bachelor of Arts from Wooster and his Master of Education from Heidelberg.
