About Bruce Hamburger
Bruce Hamburger is in his fifth season as the associate head coach for the Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball program.
In 2016, Hamburger helped guide the Knights to a 10-win turnaround as the team earned an NEC Championship and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005.
Hamburger came to Hackensack via Jersey City after coaching at Saint Peter's from 2010-2013. While at St. Peter's, the team made the NCAA Tournament during his first year (2010-11). Hamburger's leadership resulted in the 10th team to make the NCAA Tournament in his 16 years as an assistant coach.
Prior to working at Saint Peter's, Hamburger was an assistant coach at Caldwell College, after spending two seasons as an assistant coach for the New York Liberty of the WNBA.
Along with his time at Caldwell and in the WNBA, Hamburger brings over 20 years of coaching experience to the Knights' staff. He served as the head coach at Kean University for 11 years, where he is the all-time winningest coach. Hamburger coached his alma mater to four appearances in the ECAC Tournament, winning the ECAC title in 2005, and advanced to the finals again in 2006. He also led Kean to an appearance in the New Jersey Athletic Conference Tournament in 2001.
Prior to coaching at Kean, Hamburger was an assistant coach at Seton Hall under P.J. Carlesimo for nine years, beginning in 1986. The Pirates won two Big East Tournament titles and made six appearances in the NCAA Tournament during his tenure, including the 1989 run to the NCAA championship game. The team was inducted into the Seton Hall Athletic Hall of Fame in June 2014.
Hamburger began his coaching career in 1984 at Trenton State, where he was an assistant coach under Kevin Bannon for two seasons.
Hamburger graduated from Kean in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education. He also holds a Master's degree in Counseling Education from Seton Hall.
