Jesse Clark begins his fifth season with the women's basketball program at Saint Mary's College in 2011-12, and 15th season in the collegiate coaching ranks. Clark's duties include assisting with the recruiting process, planning and implementation of practices, scouting, and the facilitation of the Gaels Player Development Program.
Clark spends the majority of his time with the guards, and in 2007-08 it was junior guard Jontelle Smith that reaped the benefits. Behind Clark's guidance, Smith was named to the All-WCC First Team, as she broke multiple offensive records. Smith not only reached the 1,000-point career mark, but also broke the Saint Mary's record for three-pointers in a career and season.
Prior to coming to Moraga, Clark served as the director of video operations at Stanford. He was responsible for game editing and scouting, in addition to overseeing film exchange. A native of Tacoma, WA, Clark arrived on The Farm following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco from 2003-05.
Prior to his appointment at San Francisco, Clark served as the women's basketball assistant coach at Cal State Bakersfield during the 2002-03 campaign, helping the Roadrunners to a 29-2 record and a Great Eight finish.
Clark first became involved in college athletics at Pacific Union College, where he served in a number of capacities during a seven-year tenure (1996-2002). In addition to his responsibilities as Assistant Director of Athletics and Director of Sports Information, Clark also served as the assistant women's basketball coach from 1996-97. He then took over as the women's basketball head coach from 1997-2002, leading the Pioneers to the California Pacific Conference tournament four of five seasons.
Clark earned his B.S. in Business Education from Pacific Union College in 2002. He is currently completing coursework toward a Master's of Education in Organization and Leadership.
Clark currently resides in Walnut Creek with his wife, Kelly Clark who serves as strength and conditioning coach at Saint Mary's College. The couple has a son named Jacob.
