WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest men's basketball and head coach Steve Forbes have announced the addition of Jalen Bean as the program's video coordinator. In his role, Bean will play a key role in the day-to-day operations of the men's basketball staff, both on and off the court, assisting in scouting and film analysis for the Demon Deacons while also creating social media content.
Additionally, Frank Davis has been elevated to the role of chief of staff. Davis has served on Forbes' Demon Deacon staff since the 2020-21 season as director of basketball operations.
"I am very thankful for the opportunity given to me by Coach Forbes, the coaching staff and the Wake Forest administration," Bean said. "I'm excited to get to work in Winston-Salem. Go Deacs!"
"Jalen comes highly recommended by several coaches we know, trust, and respect," Forbes said. "He did a very good job for Ole Miss during his time in Oxford under Kermit Davis and Chris Beard. Jalen is a grinder, and I have a lot of respect for his professional commitment and resiliency that got him where he is today."
Bean arrived in Winston-Salem following three seasons on staff at Ole Miss as assistant video coordinator, where he helped lead the Rebels to the Sweet Sixteen during the 2024-25 season.
With the Rebels, Bean supervised filming of team practices, edited game and practice film, organized and purchased video equipment and assisted the coaching staff with scouting and recruiting efforts. Additionally, Bean assisted head coach Chris Beard and his staff with in-game challenges and appeals.
Prior to his time in Oxford, Bean was a student assistant coach at Southwest Mississippi State Community College.
Bean earned a pair of degrees from Ole Miss, receiving his undergraduate degree in Multidisciplinary Studies and a master's in Sports Administration.
