History

[edit]
See also:List of Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball seasons

Basketball was invented bySpringfield College teacherJames Naismith in 1891. It seemed to take off in theSouthern colleges in 1906, whenYale's basketball team traveled throughout the South.[4] That year Georgia Tech organized a small basketball club under Coach Chapman.[5][6] Tech lost toAuburn in the first college basketball game played in Atlanta, and won the two other games they played that season, against rivalGeorgia.[6]

The 1925–26 team

In 1909, continuousdribbling and shots off the dribble were allowed.[7] Tech organized another basketball team, under famous coachJohn Heisman, also Tech'sbaseball andfootball coach. Heisman had a winning percentage of .142 that season and improved the team's percentage to .500 in 1912 and 1913.[6] Heisman wasn't able to keep up with a basketball team, and his successorBill Alexander revived the Georgia Tech basketball program in 1920.[6] From 1924 to 1926, the team was coached byHarold Hansen, also the football team'sbackfield coach.

Roy Mundorff

[edit]

Roy Mundorff coached Georgia Tech basketball from 1927 to 1942. Georgia Tech became a charter member of theSoutheastern Conference in 1932 (the first season was in 1933). The 1936-37 team was captained by future Tech coachJohn Hyder and posted an 11-1 conference record. Tech won the conference title the next season in 1938.

Dwight Keith

[edit]

During World War II, the basketball team was coached by assistant football coach Dwight Keith.

Roy McArthur

[edit]

Former Tech quarterback Roy McArthur coached the team after the war. He was "among the forerunners of the present run-and-shoot brand of basketball".[8]

John Hyder

[edit]
John Hyder

Coach John Hyder, whose teams won 292 games in 22 seasons, put the program on the national map when his 1955 team defeatedAdolph Rupp'sKentucky team, ending the Wildcats' 129-game winning streak at home.

The Yellow Jackets played their firstNCAA tournament game in 1960. Led by all-AmericanRoger Kaiser, the team defeatedOhio University before losing in the second round to the eventual champion,Ohio State. Hyder continued to have strong teams in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1964, Georgia Tech's final season in the Southeastern Conference, the team went undefeated at home and was the conference runner-up. In 1971 the Yellow Jackets, led byRich Yunkus, reached the finals of theNational Invitation Tournament but lost to theUniversity of North Carolina.

Georgia Tech became a charter member of theMetro Conference in 1975 (the first season started in 1976), and then became the eighth member of theAtlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 1978 (starting play in 1979). As of the 2020–21 season, the Yellow Jackets have won fourACC tournament championships and been the ACC's top seed twice. Through 2021, Georgia Tech has received 17 berths in the NCAA tournament, and seven of its teams have made it to theSweet Sixteen.

Bobby Cremins

[edit]

The1985 team, led by head coachBobby Cremins and playersMark Price,Duane Ferrell,Yvon Joseph,Craig Neal,Bruce Dalrymple, andJohn Salley, won the school's first ACC championship and advanced to the final eight in the NCAA tournament.Tom Hammonds earnedRookie of the Year honors in the ACC in 1986. In the1990 tournament, the trio ofKenny Anderson,Dennis Scott, andBrian Oliver (nicknamed "Lethal Weapon 3") carried theYellow Jackets all the way to theFinal Four, where they lost to eventual championUNLV in the national semi-finals. In 1992, Cremins led an inexperienced Tech team to theSweet 16, thanks in no small part toJames Forrest's buzzer-beating game-winning three-pointer in the second round againstUSC. The following year, the Yellow Jackets won theACC tournament.

Georgia Tech's nine consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament from the mid-1980s and the early 1990s accounted for the nation's fourth-longest active streak before it ended in 1994. In 1996, the team finished first in the ACC's regular season and returned to the tournament behind futureNBA All-StarStephon Marbury. In 1998,Matt Harpring was third-team All-American.

Cremins's 19-year tenure (1981–2000) stands as the team's most successful era. Cremins is Georgia Tech's all-time winningest coach and is third among all ACC coaches. Upon his retirement after the 1999–2000 season, his teams had won 354 games and lost 237 for a .599 winning percentage (Cremins would later come out of retirement to coach at theCollege of Charleston). The floor atMcCamish Pavilion is named "Cremins Court" in his honor.

Paul Hewitt

[edit]

In 2000, head coachPaul Hewitt was hired away fromSiena College and immediately helped to revitalize the Yellow Jacket program. In his first season, Georgia Tech beat UCLA, Kentucky and five ACC rivals that were ranked en route to an NCAA tournament appearance. Georgia Tech experienced aCinderella season in 2003–04: winning thePreseason NIT, endingDuke's 41-game winning streak atCameron Indoor Stadium, making it to the school's secondFinal Four and first national championship game, in which they lost by nine points toUConn. Notable players sent to theNBA under Hewitt includeChris Bosh,Jarrett Jack,Mario West,Luke Schenscher,Thaddeus Young,Will Bynum,[9] andAnthony Morrow. In back-to-back years (2008 & 2009), Hewitt also successfully recruited national top-10 high school prospects inIman Shumpert andDerrick Favors.

During the 2009–10 season, the Yellow Jackets played for the ACC tournament championship game as well as earning Hewitt's fifth NCAA tournament appearance at Tech. They advanced to the round of 32, losing to Ohio State. Georgia Tech then finished the 2010–11 season 13–18. On March 12, 2011, Paul Hewitt was dismissed as the head coach of the Georgia Tech after eleven seasons.[10]Brian Gregory was appointed as his successor, Georgia Tech's 13th men's basketball coach, on March 28, 2011.[11]

Brian Gregory

[edit]

Brian Gregory, who ledDayton to 97 victories over his last four seasons there and worked underTom Izzo atMichigan State when the Spartans won the2000 NCAA championship, was named Georgia Tech's head men's basketball coach on March 28, 2011. In their first season with Gregory at the helm, Georgia Tech finished 11–20 and 11th in the ACC while playing without a true home court whileMcCamish Pavilion was under construction. Gregory only had two seasons with overall winning records and no seasons of winning records in ACC play. On March 25, 2016, after five disappointing seasons and no trips to the NCAA tournament, Georgia Tech fired Brian Gregory.[12] He was 76–86 overall and 27–61 in ACC play.[12]

Josh Pastner

[edit]

Josh Pastner was hired by the school on April 8, 2016.[13][14] Pastner was 167–73 with four NCAA tournament bids in seven years as the head coach ofMemphis.

Pastner took Tech to the NIT finals in his first season, and was that season's ACC Coach of the Year. After that season Tech was hit with NCAA violations, although most punishments would later be dropped. Because of this, Tech struggled for the next few seasons. However, Pastner ultimately led the team to their first ACC title since 1993, as well as their first NCAA tournament berth since 2010, as the Yellow Jackets defeatedFlorida State to win the 2021 ACC championship. They would end up losing toLoyola Chicago in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It is Tech's latest postseason appearance.[15]

The success wouldn’t last though, Tech parted ways with Pastner on March 10, 2023 following two disappointing seasons. He finished 109–114 in his seven years coaching the Jackets. He finished as the fourth-winningest coach in school history, behind only Hewitt, Hyder, and Cremins.[16]

Damon Stoudamire

[edit]

On March 13, 2023Damon Stoudamire was named the fifteenth coach in program history.[17] Stoudamire came to Georgia Tech after serving as an assistant coach of theNBA'sBoston Celtics for nearly two seasons. Before that he served as the head coach at theUniversity of the Pacific from 2016 to 2021.

Damon Stoudamire became the first Tech coach in the Yellow Jackets’ ACC history to defeat Duke in his first try when the Yellow Jackets stunned the then seventh ranked Blue Devils 72–68 on December 2, 2023. He became the third coach in ACC history to beat Duke and North Carolina in his first year when on January 30, 2024, Tech beat #3 UNC 74–73 in front of a sold out home crowd.

Stoudamire's first team finished 14–18 despite the big wins, but in his second year at the helm Tech would turn an 8–11 start into a 17–16 record at the end of the ACC Tournament. The Yellow Jackets were invited to the2025 NIT, which marked their first postseason appearance since the 2021 ACC championship season.
