Coach Michael Fly shares his journey from growing up in Kentucky to becoming a NCAA Division I Head Coach at Florida Gulf Coast University.
He got his first coaching experience under the living legend that is Happy Osbourne at Georgetown College during his undergraduate years at the University of Kentucky. From Georgetown College he moved onto the Charlotte Bobcats (now Charlotte Hornets) and worked under Michael Jordan and alongside the likes of Dell Curry, Phil Ford, Jeff Capel, and Bernie Bickerstaff. After spending a season in the NBA ranks he moved down to Tallahassee to serve as the Video Coordinator at Florida State under another legendary coach in Leonard Hamilton.
Andy Enfield was named the Head Coach at FGCU in 2011 and Coach Fly moved to Fort Meyers to serve as one of his Assistant Coaches. As an Assistant Coach under Coach Enfield he was a part of six ASUN championship teams, including the 2013 team who reached the Sweet 16. When USC hired Coach Enfield he had the opportunity to join his coaching staff, but decided to stay and serve under newly named Head Coach, Joe Dooley.
In 2018 when Coach Dooley returned to East Carolina, Michael Fly was promoted to Head Coach at Florida Gulf Coast University and spend four years as the helm. He led the Eagles to the third most wins in program history (22) and set program records for non-conference wins, three-pointers, three-point attempts, blocks per game and total blocks. Coach Fly also coached the ASUN Newcomer and Defensive Player of the Year in 2021-2022. Prior to the TBC postseason tournament FGCU made a coaching change, but Coach Fly stayed and coached his team, leading them to the 2nd Round.
Coach Fly reunited with Coach Dennis Gates and multiple other former Leonard Hamilton disciples at Mizzou when he was named the Director of Scouting & Analytics in May of 2022.
