Head coach Kyle Getter has announced three key additions to the Cal Baptist University basketball coaching staff ahead of the 2026-27 season. The staff now includes Vic Sfera as Associate Head Coach, and two assistants Joe Pierre III and Gabriel McKay, all with strong ties to Getter's previous coaching experience at Liberty University. These appointments aim to build a competitive program as Getter transitions into his new role as the 13th head coach in CBU men's basketball history.

By the Numbers
  • Last season, Vic Sfera helped Lipscomb finish 19-13, with a 12-6 record in the ASUN Conference.
  • In just over five seasons at Liberty, Joe Pierre III contributed to a 177-58 record and four conference tournament championships.
Yes, But

While the new coaching hires bring impressive credentials, integrating them into a cohesive unit will be crucial for establishing CBU's identity and success in the WAC, given their diverse prior experiences.

State of Play
  • Getter’s coaching staff is fully assembled as he begins his tenure.
  • New members have previous NCAA tournament experience and successful track records at prior institutions.
What's Next

The coaching staff will focus on developing strategies for the upcoming season, leveraging their combined expertise to enhance recruitment and improve team performance on the court.

Bottom Line

As Getter assembles his team, the foundational relationships and prior successes of the new staff members will be critical in shaping a competitive basketball program at Cal Baptist University.
