He aided in the development of New Haven's Eric Anderson, who earned NE10 Defensive Player of the Year honors in both seasons Holt was an assistant. When he was not on the court with the Chargers, Holt coordinated team travel, as well as community events such as youth camps, coaching clinics, and alumni weekends.
Holt spent the 2011-12 season at Rhode Island College, where he assisted in scouting opponents. He was responsible for organizing daily team schedules for the Anchormen, and worked closely with the compliance office to support academic progress for basketball student-athletes.
In his career as an assistant coach, Holt has helped coach teams to three 20-win seasons as well as three NCAA tournament appearances.
As a student at Northeastern, Holt was the head senior manager for the men's basketball team, and helped coordinate team video needs and team travel logistics.
