A three-year letterwinner for the Stanford men's basketball team, senior Trevor Stanback will serve as a student assistant coach in 2019-20.
On Aug. 16, 2019, Stanback announced the end of his playing career. In addition to his new role with the program, Stanback will be completing his degree in psychology.
Stanback played in 42 career games for the Cardinal, totaling 37 points and 41 rebounds. During Stanback’s final season in 2018-19, he was named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team and recognized as a NABC Honors Court selection.
"After much consideration, the doctors, my family, and I have come to a mutual agreement that I will retire from basketball due to medical reasons," Stanback said. "We concluded it was my best option and most beneficial for my overall health moving forward. I want to thank Stanford University as well as the coaching staff for allowing me the chance to pursue my dreams and accomplish my goals both in the classroom and on the court. The guys on my team are forever my family and I plan to support them and be involved in whatever way possible."
"Trevor is a senior leader for us and we'll miss him on the court," said Anne and Tony Joseph Director of Men's Basketball Jerod Haase. "Throughout this process, Trevor has exhibited incredible character, courage, maturity, patience and positivity. Though he will not be able to play, Trevor will remain a meaningful and essential member of the team as a student assistant for the upcoming season."
