Doty plays a major role with UCLA’s video and scout edits, practice film, and managing individual player video edits. He has coordinated in-game video uploads for the men’s basketball team, providing real-time video clips from the team bench and immediate video transfer abilities.

Doty’s responsibilities will also center on player development, both on-court assistance and individual film study. Last season, he worked on a daily basis with forward Tyler Bilodeau, who was selected in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft. As a student manager, he assisted with film breakdown, organizing scouting reports, and handling various day-to-day operational duties.

In addition to his work with UCLA’s program, Doty spent the summer of 2024 as an intern in the video department with the New Orleans Pelicans at the NBA Summer League. His responsibilities with the Pelicans included work in multiple video capacities at meetings, practices, film sessions and summer league games. Doty also worked in an assistant capacity with game operations for the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Summer League in 2022 and 2023.
