Isaiah Bales joined the Wright State men's basketball staff as a video coordinator in June 2025.
“I’m very excited about Isaiah taking on more responsibility within our program. His experience as a former student manager gives him valuable insight and strengthens the continuity of our staff,” head coach Clint Sargent said at the time of his hiring. “His character, work ethic and basketball mind are all areas that will help grow the program.”
No stranger to the program, Bales served as a student assistant on the Raider staff for two seasons (2023-25). In addition to his responsibilities at Wright State, Bales trains current NBA free agent Luke Kennard in the offseason.
A three-time Southwestern Buckeye League champion at Franklin High School, Bales was twice named a SWBL all-league honoree and in 2022 he finished sixth in the state of Ohio with a 48.4 percent three-point percentage. He played at Franklin under his dad, current Springboro head coach Brian Bales.
