Georgia Southern Head Men’s Basketball Coach Charlton Young is proud to announce the addition of Cliff Reed to the Eagle coaching staff.

Reed comes to Statesboro following a 10-year stint as the head coach at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla. While with the Wildcats, Reed amassed a 125-166 record including the Wildcats’ first seasons at or above the .500 mark in program history. In 2010-11, Reed’s Wildcats went 21-13 winning the program’s first-ever regular season MEAC Championship.

Reed took over as the school’s sixth Head Men’s Basketball Coach with 11 games remaining in the 2001-02 season following the departure of Hoarce Broadnax, the current head coach at Savannah State. Before earning the top-job at Bethune-Cookman, Reed served for four years as an assistant coach with the Wildcats. In the 2005-06 set the school record for winningest season, finishing at 15-15. The Wildcats bested that mark in both 2008-09 and 2009-10 with matching 17-16 records. Bethune-Cookman’s 21-13 record in 2011-12 still stands as the program’s best season on the hardwood.
