Ryan McCloskey joined the Georgia Basketball staff in the summer of 2023 as the Bulldogs’ Director of Video and Analytics. Prior to arriving in Athens, McCloskey garnered a wealth of experience during a combined decade of working at Rhode Island and Florida, as well as with USA Basketball.
McCloskey spent five seasons on the staff at Rhode Island from 2018-23. He served in a variety of roles during his tenure with the Rams. After originally joining the staff as video coordinator, McCloskey was promoted after one season to director of operations from 2019-21. He was again promoted to special assistant to the head coach during the 2021-22 campaign before serving as assistant director of operations/video coordinator for the Rams in 2022-23.
Rhode Island’s best season during McCloskey’s time in Kingston was in 2019-20 when the Rams finished 21-9. Rhode Island entered the Atlantic 10 Tournament as the No. 3 seed and on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament before postseason play was cancelled with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
McCloskey also spent five seasons working with the Florida Gators, two years under Billy Donovan (2013-15) and three with Mike White (2015-18). McCloskey was an undergraduate manager assisting with day-to-day video operations and projects for three seasons before serving as a graduate assistant for two years, where he assisted with day-to-day operations and player development.
Florida averaged 24.2 wins per season during McCloskey’s five campaigns with the Gators. During 2013-14, Florida finished 36-3, including a 30-game winning streak. The Gators captured both the SEC regular-season and SEC Tournament titles, were No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Final Four in Indianapolis. Florida also reached the Elite Eight and Round of 32 during the 2017 and 2018 NCAA Tournaments, respectively, during McCloskey’s time with the program.
McCloskey gained additional experience with USA Basketball during the summers of 2014 and 2015. He was part of the support staff for the 2014 U18 and 2015 U19 National Teams. The 2014 squad won the U18 FIBA Americas Championship in Colorado Springs, defeating its five opponents by an average of 54.8 points per game en route to qualifying for the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship. The following summer, the Americans, led by Jalen Brunson and Jayson Tatum, won the Gold Medal at the World Championships in Heraklion, Greece, on the island of Crete.
McCloskey received two degrees from Florida, earning both his bachelor’s and master’s in Sport Management in 2016 and 2018, respectively. Ryan and his wife Amanda welcomed their first child, a daughter Jordan, in July 2025.
