the ultimate glue-guy turned Liberty assistant coach
In the 2022-23 season, Stephen Burggraf was a low-usage, high-IQ guard for Liberty who played in 20 games and was valued more for reliability, team-first habits, and coachability than box-score pop; his college résumé also includes 32 total games across two seasons and a Best Teammate award, which tracks with the reputation he built as a steady, unselfish presence. He’s no headline-chaser, but that’s the point: Burggraf looks like the kind of detail-oriented, program-savvy leader every staff wants in the room.
