Manny Dosanjh joined the Western Michigan men's basketball staff as an assistant coach in May of 2022. The 2025-26 season will be his fourth on the Bronco sidelines.
The 2024-25 campaign saw Western Michigan return to the MAC Tournament, making it back-to-back appearances in Cleveland for the Broncos for the first time since the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. Junior guard Chansey Willis Jr. paced the MAC in both scoring and assists, and was named to the All-MAC Second Team, the program's first Second Team selection since Thomas Wilder in 2016. The Broncos also continued to dominate the glass, leading the league in offensive rebounding for the third straight season. Western Michigan's 13.2 offensive boards per game ranked 24th in NCAA Division I, and its overall average of 37.8 rebounds was second-best in the MAC and 54th in the country. The Brown and Gold led the league with five Academic All-MAC selections, tied for the most in program history, and set new program records with four CSC Academic All-District honorees and seven named to the NABC Honors Court. Following the season, Dosanjh was one of 45 coaches nationwide selected to participate in the 2025 NCAA Basketball Coaches Academy in Indianapolis.
In Dosanjh's second season, WMU had a pair of guards earn accolades from the MAC, with sophomore JaVaughn Hannah becoming the third player in program history to win the MAC Sixth Man of the Year award, and B. Artis White being selected All-MAC Honorable Mention. Hannah and Max Burton were Academic All-MAC honorees, and the duo also became the first Broncos to receive Academic All-District selections since 2019. Western Michigan continued to hit from long range, as it buried 253 triples, surpassing the 250 from the 2022-23 campaign as the second-highest mark in program history. WMU continued to assert itself on the glass as well, leading the MAC in offensive rebounding (12.6/game, 34th nationally), and ranking among the top-3 in the conference in total rebounding and rebounding margin.
During his first season in Kalamazoo, Dosanjh aided in the development of a pair of Bronco guards who received All-MAC accolades, with senior Lamar Norman Jr. earning Honorable Mention recognition and freshman Seth Hubbard being named to the All-Freshman Team. During the season, Norman became the 45th player in WMU program history to surpass 1,000 career points. Behind Norman and Hubbard, WMU hit 250 three-pointers, which was then the second-highest, single-season total in program history. Western Michigan also led the MAC in both rebounding margin (+4.7/game, 34th nationally) and offensive rebounding (12.2/game, 27th nationally).
Dosanjh came to Kalamazoo having spent the prior two years working alongside WMU head coach Dwayne Stephens as a graduate assistant at Michigan State. MSU made the NCAA Tournament in both of his seasons in East Lansing and totaled 38 victories. During his last year, Dosanjh was selected to take part in the TopConnect Leadership Academy and graduated with a master’s degree in Kinesiology.
Prior to his time at MSU, Dosanjh spent two years working at Orangeville Prep in Ontario, Canada. For the 2019-20 season, he served as the associate head coach for an Orangeville Prep team which sent seven players to NCAA DI programs and won an Ontario Championship.
Dosanjh played collegiately at Delta College from 2015-17, where he was a two-time NJCAA Academic All-American and a two-time team captain. From there, he joined the men’s basketball program and earned his bachelor’s degree from Oral Roberts University.
He and his wife, Tanny, were married in August of 2021.
