Shane Anthony Burcar (born September 19, 1972) [1] is the current head coach of the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks men's basketball team. [2]
Burcar began his coaching in the high school ranks, highlighted by a 12-year tenure as the head boys basketball coach at Mesa High School, where he compiled a 277–110 overall record with seven regular-season regional titles, and an Arizona Division I state title in 2016. [3]
In 2018, he joined Jack Murphy's staff at Northern Arizona. The following season when Murphy left the Lumberjacks for an assistant coaching position at Arizona, Burcar stepped in as the interim head coach for the 2019–20 season. [4] After guiding the team to a 16–14 record (NAU's best record since 2015), Burcar was named the permanent head coach on March 25, 2020. [5] [6]
