Casey Archibald was hired as the full-time assistant coach for the UBC men's basketball team in the summer of 2011. A former All-Canadian and Canada West MVP during his five year T-Bird career, Archibald is the second full-time assistant in the program's history.
Archibald played five seasons with the Thunderbirds from 2002-03 until 2006-07 and ranks second all-time in UBC scoring behind J.D. Jackson with 3,024 points. He is the school's most prolific three-point shooter and holds single season records for three-pointers attempted (297) and made (117), both set during the 2004-05 season.
A two-time first-team All-Canadian and Canada West MVP (2006, '07), Archibald was honoured as a Canada West all-star in each of his five seasons at UBC - three times on the first-team (2004, '06, '07), once on the second (2005), and once on the rookie squad (2003). He was also the 2007 winner of UBC's Bobby Gaul Memorial Trophy, as the school's top graduating male student-athlete.
A key figure in the development of the UBC program as a national power, Archibald helped UBC to four appearances at the CIS Final 8, two Canada West titles (2003, '07), and four Pacific Division crowns (2003, '04, '06, '07). During his final two years at UBC, the T-Birds were a combined 60-12 overall including a perfect 20-0 during the 2005-06 Canada West regular season.
Following his standout UBC career, Archibald played four seasons in Europe. He began his career with Wels (Austria) in the Bundesliga in 2007. He went on to average 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game during the 2008-09 season, his second with the team, as they claimed the Austrian Championship for the first in club history. He then suited up with Nordlingen (German A league) for one year before playing his year with TTU/Kalev (Baltic League). In each of his four campaigns, Archibald averaged at least 10 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
Archibald prepped at Salmon Arm HS and was a two-time provincial all-star while playing for his hometown's secondary school. In 2001-02 he captained the Canadian Junior National Team and in 2007 he suited up for Canada at the FISU Games in Bangkok.
He graduated from UBC with a degree in Human Kinetics. His older sister, Bree, also graduated from UBC.
