I can confirm that Jay Joyner is no longer the head basketball coach at NJCAA D1 Yavapai College (AZ).

Joyner took over at Yavapai back in 2021, restarting a program that had not competed in over ten years. The 2022-23 season was their first since restarting – they went 7-23.

Before taking over at YC, Joyner spent five seasons as the head coach at NC A&T. He also spent time as the head coach at Columbia State CC (TN), and in administrative roles at Rutgers and Tennessee State.

There has been no official statement yet on the change.

This is the second NJCAA D1 change that I have heard about today – earlier I mentioned the move at Ranger College HERE. Waiting to confirm one more NJCAA D1 move today as well. Stay tuned…
