DEAL CONFIRMED: Purdue Lands another huge Job deal at Georgia Tech

Former Purdue Assistant Basketball Coach Greg Gary has landed a new job at Georgia Tech, joining the Yellow Jackets’ coaching staff. Gary, who has an extensive coaching background, is expected to bring his wealth of experience and expertise to the program.

Greg Gary has had a varied and successful coaching career. Before his tenure at Purdue, he served as the head coach at Mercer University, where he led the Bears for several seasons, earning respect for his leadership and tactical knowledge. His time at Purdue, where he was an assistant under head coach Matt Painter, further solidified his reputation as a skilled coach, particularly in player development and game strategy.

At Purdue, Gary was part of a coaching staff that helped the Boilermakers consistently compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference. His contributions were instrumental in the team’s success, including multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and deep runs in March Madness.

Now at Georgia Tech, Gary is expected to play a significant role in revitalizing the Yellow Jackets’ basketball program. Georgia Tech, which has a rich basketball history, has faced challenges in recent years and is looking to rebuild and compete more effectively in the ACC. Gary’s experience, especially his ability to develop players and build strong defensive teams, will be key in this effort.

The move is seen as a significant step for both Gary and Georgia Tech. For Gary, it’s an opportunity to take on a new challenge in a competitive conference, and for Georgia Tech, it’s a chance to benefit from the insights and experience of a coach who has proven his capabilities at both mid-major and high-major levels of college basketball.

Gary’s hiring is part of a broader effort by Georgia Tech to strengthen its coaching staff and improve its performance on the court. The Yellow Jackets’ fans and alumni are hopeful that this new addition will help lead the team back to prominence in the ACC.
