Playing career

Allard grew up in San Jose, California and attended Archbishop Mitty High School. [1] Allard went on to play collegiately at UC San Diego, where he immediately became one of the most prominent players on court. In his final season as a player for the Tritons, he was named to the 2007-08 All-CCAA Second Team, [2] having led the Tritons make their first NCAA DII Championship appearance, advancing to the West Region Quarterfinals. [3]

Coaching career

Allard then remained at UC San Diego as an assistant coach for four seasons before being joining the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos's coaching staff in 2012. [2] In 2014, he returned back to the Tritons as their associate head coach, and helped head coach Eric Olen transform the Tritons to transition from NCAA DII to DI [4] and make a March Madness appearance in the Tritons' first year of eligibility. [5]

Following Olen leaving for the head coach position in New Mexico, Allard was promoted as the new head coach for UC San Diego on March 30, 2025. [6] [7] He is the 13th head coach in Tritons men's basketball program history. [8]
