I’m very fortunate to work with a coach that has the knowledge and longevity that Coach (Greg) Mason possesses. His teams have had a ton of success in his long tenure at Centre, and I look forward to learning as much as I can from him and the rest of our staff.”

Head Coach Greg Mason added: “We are excited to announce the addition of Emmanuel Tommy to our coaching staff. During the interview process, we were very impressed with his energy level and his ability to connect with others. Emmanuel is a people person and his positive impact is already being felt in our program. We’re very excited Emmanuel and his family are now a part of our Centre basketball family.”
