Matt Warren enters his second season as head men's basketball coach at Tabor College.
Warren became the head coach of the Tabor Bluejays after serving as the associate head coach at Warner University for the previous five seasons.

In his first season with the Bluejays, Coach Warren established a culture of toughness on and off the floor. Freshman Thatcher McClure was named to the all-freshman team and earned honorable mention KCAC selection. McClure averaged 13 ppg and 5.8 rpg on 50.6% from the floor, 42.2% from three and 74.4% from the free throw line. Tabor also landed 9 student athletes on the KCAC all academic team as well as seven on the NAIA all-academic team. Finally, Coach Warren brought in a talented recruiting class which included the 2023 KHSAA 3A Player of the Year as well as the 2022 KHSAA 4A Player of the Year.
Coach Warren was a part of three Sun Conference regular season championships including back to back in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The Royals saw fifteen players make the all-conference teams, six student athletes be recognized as on the all-academic team, and had four players earn NAIA All American honors in his time in Lake Wales, Fla. 

Warren joined the Royals after serving as the General Manager of Combine Academy of Orlando, Fla., a post graduate basketball academy. While at Combine Academy, Coach Warren sent a majority of his student athletes to college during his year in Orlando in conjunction with his prior year in Charlotte, NC at Combine’s headquarters. Coach Warren also was heavily involved in Pro training during his summers at Combine including multiple NBA players and numerous euro league players.

Prior to Combine, Coach Warren was the top assistant at Indian River State College, a division one junior college in Fort Pierce, Florida, which was his second stint there. Warren worked for Coach Joe Sanchez at IRSC on two different occasions which included a 24-7 record and a trip to the region 8 tournament after a Southern Conference tournament championship.

Prior to his return to IRSC, Warren was a student manager at the University of North Florida under the tutelage of Head Coach Matthew Driscoll for two seasons where he gained a plethora of knowledge and experience. At UNF, Warren was able to learn a vast amount of skills at the NCAA D-I level including video editing, player development, game preparation/scouting, academics and the day-to-day operations.

Coach Warren also has experience in the AAU circuit as an assistant coach for PrimeTime basketball that in a four-year stretch accumulated 8 tournament championships and a runner up spot at the prestige Peach State tournament.
Warren graduated from the University of North Florida in 2014 with a degree in Sports Management along with an Associate of Arts degree from Indian River State College. Coach Warren also received his Masters of Science from Warner University in the fall of 2019.
