Maurice Joseph (born August 26, 1985) is the current interim head basketball coach of the George Washington University Colonials men's basketball team. He was promoted to the job after the firing of coach Mike Lonergan. He previously served as an assistant under Lonergan at GW and also played college basketball under Lonergan at the University of Vermont.^[1]

Playing Career

After a standout prep career at Champlain-St. Lambert in his native Montreal, Joseph committed to play basketball at Michigan State under Tom Izzo. Joseph appeared in 52 games and was a part of two NCAA Tournament squads for the Spartans over a two year period, averaging 3.8 points per game before transferring to Vermont, closer to his Montreal home. In two seasons with the Catamounts, Joseph was the team's second-leading scorer with 13.9 points per game, helping Vermont to its fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in 2010.

Upon graduation, Joseph played professional basketball in Israel with Hapoel Afula B.C., while also representing the home nation of his parents, Trinidad and Tobago, playing on its national basketball team in 2010.^[2]

Coaching Career

In 2011, Joseph joined his former coach at Vermont, Mike Lonergan, on his staff at George Washington, rising from director of basketball operations to assistant coach. He was elevated to the interim head coaching position after Lonergan was fired by the school amid reports of verbal player abuse and misconduct.

Personal

Joseph's brother is former NBA player Kris Joseph, a second round selection by the Boston Celtics in the 2012 NBA Draft. He is also the second cousin of Cory Joseph, currently of the Toronto Raptors, as well as Devoe Joseph, a former first-team All-Pac-12 selection at Oregon.^[3]
