Former Navarro Junior College head coach Johnny Estelle has joined the staff of the University of Houston Men’s Basketball program, head coach James Dickey announced Wednesday afternoon.

Estelle is no stranger to Houston Men’s Basketball. During Dickey’s three-year tenure, three former and current Bulldogs have competed for the Cougars. That group includes current senior guard Jimmie Jones, former guard Darian Thibodeaux and former forward Leon Gibson.

Estelle, who is a Waco, Texas, native, became head coach at Navarro College prior to the 2008-09 season. During his seven-year stint, he led the Bulldogs to a 126-48 overall record with an unprecedented run of six Region XIV Tournament championship game appearances.
