In Reed's first year as an assistant coach at UCLA, he helped Justin Garces to a standout campaign as the sophomore keeper finished second in the Pac-12 in saves (58), saves per game (3.2), and minutes played (1,668). Garces and the Bruins bookended the 2019 season with shutout victories over Northwestern and San Diego State.
Prior to returning to Westwood, Reed served as the head coach at Division II Malone University in Canton, Ohio. In his one year with the Pioneers, he led the team to a five-win improvement over the 2017 squad in one of the biggest turnarounds in program history.
Before that, Reed made assistant coach stops at Bowling Green, Davidson College, and San Francisco.
While at Bowling Green, he helped the Falcons accrue 39 wins over four seasons while primarily working with the goalkeepers. He was named the NSCAA Great Lakes Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2014 after the Falcons won their most games in 17 years (14-6-1) and reached the Mid-American Conference Final for the first time in 11 years.
A Mission Viejo, Calif. native, Reed spent two seasons working with the goalkeepers at Davidson prior to his time at Bowling Green. He was also the goalkeeper coach for the men's and women's teams at the University of San Francisco for the 2007 campaign.
Reed was a three-year starter at UCLA from 2004-06, making at least 16 appearances in each of those seasons. He was an All-Pac-10 First Team and All-Far West Region Third Team selection as a junior in 2005, as he helped the Bruins to a conference title. He was also the starter for the 2006 team that finished as the national runner-up. He recorded three shutouts in five games during the 2006 NCAA Tournament and made seven saves in the national title game.
"I couldn't be more excited to return to UCLA and be a part of the Bruin soccer program once again," said Reed. "I am incredibly thankful for this opportunity and it is an honor to be part of the staff that will be working to get this team back to the top of collegiate soccer. The history and tradition of UCLA soccer runs deep and I am excited to get to work and put my passion into developing some of the best student-athletes in the country."
