Furman historically ( I am talking history here:o ) has been a good basketball program. Some really good teams in the 50's which included Frank Selvy's 100 point game (still an NCAA Division I record). Furman dominated the SoCon in the 70's and had some decent teams in the 80's. Since then it has been a long dry spell. Hopefully this guy can correct the ship.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Jeff Jackson has been named Furman's new men's head basketball coach, director of athletics Dr. Gary Clark announced today at an 11:00 a.m. press conference at the Younts Center on the University campus.
Jackson, a native of New York, N.Y., who served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt University for the past seven seasons, becomes Furman's 16th head coach and succeeds Larry Davis, who accepted an associate head coaching position at the University of Cincinnati on April 3.
