	Position: Video Coordinator Experience: 1st season Alma Mater: Maryland ('08)

Nima Omidvar enters his first season on the NC State Men's basketball staff as the team's video coordinator. Prior to his arrival in Raleigh, Omidvar was an assistant coach at Bowie State. Last season, he helped guide the Bulldogs to a 23-6 mark, including a 16-2 record in CIAA competition and their second-straight Northern Division crown. Bowie State advanced to the NCAA Division II tournament, posting an opening victory over Mansfield before falling to Indiana (PA) in the regional semifinal.

Omidvar got his start in coaching at Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School (JDS) as the head coach from 2004-06. During his tenure at JDS, he led his squad to a PVAC championship and a runner-up finish. He then moved on to St. John's College High School for the 2006-07 season, where he was an assistant to Paul Destefano, helping guide the Cadets to a 28-9 ledger. While at St. John's, he provided tutelage for McDonald's All-American Chris Wright.

His next stop would be a two-year stint (2007-09) at Paul VI Catholic High, working under Glenn Farello. While there, Omivdar helped the squad attain its first-ever national ranking (20th) and capture its first Virginia Independent School state championship.

In 2009, Omidvar broke into the collegiate ranks as a graduate assistant at Charlotte under current Wolfpack assistant coach Bobby Lutz. There his duties included helping monitor student-athlete academics, assisting with the coordination of team travel and providing recruiting support for the coaching staff.

In addition to his work on the prep and collegiate levels, Omidvar has worked various roles in helping the development of the next generation of basketball talent. His first foray into basketball, he was the director of the I-270 Basketball Organization and coached the I-270 Roadwarriors' AAU program. He then joined forces with Triple Threat Basketball Club to form DC Team Takeover. Over a five-year span his squads enjoyed a enormous success winning several national events such as the Reebok Summer Championships and the AAU U16 & U17 Super Showcase National Championships in the same year. Team Takeover helped develop and produce over 40 Division I prospects. Another of Omidvar's projects, DC Metro Prospects, was a squad of unsigned senior players that boasted a 100 percent placement rate for team members.

An avid supporter of grassroots basketball, Omidvar has helped orchestrate some of the top basketball events such as the DC Metro Showcase, Virginia Invitational Tournament, Peach State Summer Showcase and the Reebok Headliner Tryout Camps.

A 2008 graduate of the University of Maryland, Omidvar is single and resides in Raleigh.
