As coach: John Bradley Holland (born December 6, 1956) is an American former professional basketball player.

On April 25, 2007, he was named as one of three finalists to become the new head coach of UC Riverside's men's basketball program, but lost out to Jim Wooldridge.

Holland accepted a basketball scholarship from UCLA, and holds the distinction of being the last player recruited by coach John Wooden.

In the first round 87–79 victory against the University of Louisville in the NCAA tournament, he scored 16 points and helped guard talented freshman Darrell Griffith.

As a senior, he became a full-time starter, averaging 17.5 points, 4.8 assists and had a .598 field goal percentage, the best ever for a Bruin guard.

As a rookie, he was a reserve player, contributing to clinch the 1980 championship, by scoring 8 points in the 123–107 decisive victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

[3] On April 16, 1982, he was signed as a free agent by the Milwaukee Bucks, to provide depth for an injured Quinn Buckner.

[4] In September 1982, he was given permission from the Bucks to attend the Utah Jazz rookie-free agent camp, with the condition of receiving compensation if Holland decided to stay.

In his first year at Cal State Fullerton Holland received rave reviews for turning around the CSUF basketball program.

During the 1992–93 season, Holland's team finished 15–12, posting the school's first winning record since 1985 and going 10–8 in the Big West Conference.

The Toreros had won seven of their final ten games to finish strong again, a hallmark of Holland coached teams.

[8] In 2002–03, Holland managed to guide USD to an impressive 18–12 record, the 2003 West Coast Conference Basketball Championship title and its first trip to the NCAA tournament in sixteen years.

Holland was subsequently fired at the end of the 2006–2007 season to be replaced by Gonzaga University's assistant coach, Bill Grier.
