Chretien Lukusa is currently in his fifth season as Associate Head Coach and eighth season on Head Coach Kevin Broadus’s staff at Morgan State University. Since joining the Bears, Lukusa has played an integral role in the program’s continued development, contributing to recruiting, player development, scheduling, defensive implementation, and opponent scouting.
During the 2025–26 season, Lukusa helped guide Morgan State to its best Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) record in 10 years, finishing conference play with a 10–4 record. His responsibilities include significant involvement in defensive strategy and implementation, opponent scouting and game preparation, and the individual development of student-athletes. He has also worked closely with several All-Conference performers, including Malik Miller, Isaiah Burke, and Will Thomas, helping support year-over-year improvements in their production and efficiency.
Committed to continued growth as a coach and leader, Lukusa was selected as a member of the inaugural NABC Flight School cohort, an initiative of the National Association of Basketball Coaches designed to provide professional development, career advancement, and networking opportunities for emerging coaches in the basketball industry. He also participated in the NCAA Basketball Coaches Academy, a selective professional development program serving 50 emerging coaches across all three NCAA divisions.
Prior to joining Morgan State, Lukusa spent five years on the coaching staff at Binghamton University, including three seasons as an assistant coach. His time at Binghamton provided valuable experience in player development, recruiting, and the day-to-day operations of a Division I men’s basketball program.
A former standout student-athlete at Binghamton, Lukusa played for the Bearcats from 2007 to 2011, appearing in 116 career games, the second-highest total in program history at the time. A four-year letterwinner and two-year team captain, he scored 640 career points and finished his playing career among the program’s top six in assists (170), steals (92), and rebounds (275). His experience as a player and captain continues to inform his approach to leadership, mentorship, and student-athlete development.
Lukusa earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Africana Studies in 2011 and a master’s degree in Student Affairs Administration in 2013, both from Binghamton University. In 2025, he earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Morgan State University, further strengthening his foundation in leadership, organizational management, and strategic decision-making.
A native of Toronto, Canada, Lukusa has maintained a connection to the game internationally through his involvement with the Canadian National Team and grassroots basketball programs as both a player and volunteer staff member.
Chretien and his wife, Avanna, are proud parents of two children: their daughter, Amelia, and their son, Zaccai.
