Early life

Chambers's father, Jay, served as a colonel in the United States Army.[1] Jay died from ALS in 2010.[1] Chambers attended Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) where he was a student manager for the VCU Rams men's basketball team, being a member of the 2009–10 team that won the College Basketball Invitational and the 2010–11 team that reached the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.[2] He received a bachelor's degree in business administration from VCU in 2011.[2] He later graduated from Misericordia University in 2013 with a master's degree.[3]

Coaching career

After Chambers's graduation from VCU, he worked as an assistant coach for the Misericordia Cougars from 2011 to 2013.[3] He spent the following two years as an assistant coach for the Marymount Saints before spending one year as an assistant coach at Paul VI Catholic High School.[2] Chambers was also active as a coach at basketball camps.[2] In 2016, he was hired by the Nevada Wolf Pack, and he served three years as their director of basketball operations.[3]

Chambers joined the Texas Southern Tigers as an assistant in 2019, serving until 2021 in that role.[3] He worked as an assistant for the LSU Tigers from 2021 to 2022 before returning to Texas Southern.[3] Chambers was hired by the McNeese Cowboys as an assistant in 2023, joining head coach Will Wade whom he had worked under at VCU and LSU.[3][4] He served as interim head coach for a few games during the 2023–24 season while Wade was suspended, defeating VCU in his first game.[5] In 2025, he followed Wade and was hired by the NC State Wolfpack as an assistant coach.[6] He served one season there and acted as their defensive coordinator.[4] For a period of nine seasons across his stints at Nevada, Texas Southern, LSU, McNeese and NC State, Chambers made the NCAA Tournament every year.[7]

In April 2026, Chambers was named the new head coach of the UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros.[7]
