Michael Provenzano joined the Western Michigan men's basketball program as an assistant coach in April of 2026. The 2026-27 season is set to be his first with the Broncos.

Provenzano arrived with new WMU head coach Kahil Fennell after serving one year as an assistant coach under him at UTRGV. During their year together in Texas, they helped the Vaqueros to a 19-win campaign and a berth in the Southland Conference Tournament semifinals, where they lost to eventual champion McNeese in triple overtime. 

Before joining Fennell at UTRGV, Provenzano spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Michigan State. During his time in East Lansing, he helped the Spartans to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances and a 30-win campaign in 2024-25 which saw the team win the Big Ten regular season title and make a run to the Elite Eight. 

Prior to his time at MSU, Provenzano spent two seasons as the associate head coach of the London Lightning of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC), helping the team to back-to-back NBLC Championships as one of the youngest assistant coaches in major professional basketball. 

Before latching on with the Lightning, Provenzano was an assistant coach at the London Basketball Academy, helping develop eight players who went on to play NCAA DI basketball. He also founded Chaining and Training Basketball Camp in London, Ontario, Canada, which focused on working with youth basketball players.

During his playing days, Provenzano was a four-year starting point guard and three-year captain at Simon Fraser University, completing his career with 1,237 points and 482 assists before going on to play professionally in Spain.

Provenzano earned a bachelor's degree in Health Sciences from Simon Fraser and a master's in Kinesiology from Michigan State.
