Brian Wardle is in his third season with Green Bay men's basketball. The former Marquette All-Conference USA sharpshooter joined the coaching staff in June of 2005.

With the Phoenix, he is responsible for working with the team's guards, as well as practice organization and scouting.

Wardle came to the Phoenix after two years as director of basketball operations at Marquette for head coach Tom Crean.

Wardle was a three-year teammate of fellow Phoenix assistant coach Jon Harris and was coached by Tod Kowalczyk as a senior at Marquette.

After leading the Golden Eagles in scoring as a sophomore, junior and senior, Wardle graduated as the school's third all-time leading scorer with 1,690 career points, a figure that ranks 10th in C-USA history. He also holds the distinction of being the first Marquette player to earn first-team All-Conference USA honors.

Following graduation with a bachelor's degree in communication studies in 2001, Wardle played in the National Basketball Association Developmental League and in the Continental Basketball Association for one season each.

A Clarendon Hills, Ill., native, Wardle is married to the former Lecia Schuetz, a soccer standout during her collegiate career at Marquette. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Mya, in June 2006.
