He was most recently an assistant coach at Marquette University where he is reunited with former Ball State player and 2006 MAC Freshman of the Year Maurice Acker, who transferred after Buckley was fired.

In April 2008, Buckley was hired by Tom Crean to be an assistant coach at Indiana University. Crean and Buckley worked together at Marquette.
