- Video Coordinator
Andrew Ortelli is in his second year as video coordinator for Temple Men's Basketball. He spent the previous six seasons as the assistant video director with the University of Kentucky men's basketball program.
The Owls made significant progress in the second season under Fisher's staff, improving their regular-season win total by five and adding four additional victories in AAC play. Temple's offense shined, setting a new program record of 78.8 points per game. Defending the Liacouras Center with pride, the Owls boasted a 12-2 record on North Broad Street, defeating No. 18 Memphis and North Texas. Temple became the only AAC team to beat the top two seeded conference teams in the regular season.
In 2023-24, Temple became the first team in American Athletic Conference history to win four games in four days at the conference tournament and helped guide Temple to its first appearance in the AAC championship game. TU finished second in program history with 296 made three-pointers and were 31st nationally with just 9.9 turnovers per game. The Owls also came away with 7.4 steals an outing, a jump of more than two per game from the previous season and their highest total since 2018-19.
During his six years as the Wildcats assistant video director, Ortelli was responsible for the day-to-day operations of coaching and scouting video. He provided opponent self-scout, playbook, recruiting video presentation and analytics video content.
Prior to joining the Kentucky men’s basketball staff on a full-time basis, the 2015 UK graduate served two seasons as a graduate assistant with the program while also working four years as a student manager for the team, the last two as head manager.
A native of Bridgewater, N.J., Ortelli also served as the video coordinator for Team USA U19 squad during the 2017 World Games held in Cairo, Egypt.
