Head Coach Todd Phillips finished his Sixth year at Salt Lake Community College. In 2016 he lead Salt Lake Community College (Utah) on a Cinderella run to the NJCAA national championship and was awarded the Spalding® NJCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year Award from the NJCAA DI Men’s Basketball Committee.

Phillips guided the Bruins on a magical campaign through the NJCAA DI Men’s Basketball Championship field, knocking off four higher seeded teams en route to the national title. Salt Lake’s run culminated with a 74-64 victory over tournament-host Hutchinson (Kan.) in the championship final.
Winning his first national championship in just his fifth season at the helm, Phillips has compiled a 135-36 record claiming victory in 78% of his games. He has made three national tournament appearances in 6 years and moved over 30 guys onto four year schools. The Boise, Idaho, native was promoted to head coach by Salt Lake in 2011 after serving as a Bruins assistant for three seasons.

Prior to joining the Salt Lake staff in 2008, Phillips spent eight seasons as an NAIA assistant at Westminster in Salt Lake City. He contributed to six conference titles and six NAIA tournament berths during his stay with the Griffins.
