  • Head Coach

  • Bobby Cremins

  • With more than two decades' college coaching experience, Bobby Cremins was named men's head basketball coach at the College of Charleston last July.

    Prior to joining the Cougars, Cremins coached six seasons at Appalachian State, guiding that program to one NCAA Tournament berth. Additionally, in 19 years at Georgia Tech, Cremins led the Yellow Jackets to 14 winning seasons, 14 post-season berths, three ACC Tournament titles, and one ACC regular-season title and a share of another. He took the team to a Final Four appearance in 1989-90, garnering national "Coach of the Year" recognition. Under Cremins, Tech had six All-American players, 24 All-ACC players, and eight ACC "Rookie of the Year" honorees. To date, 21 of Cremins' former players have gone on to play in the NBA.

    A three-time ACC "Coach of the Year," Cremins is widely regarded as one of the nation's best recruiters, cemented by the fact that he signed three players selected as number one in their respective classes in Dennis Scott (1987), Kenny Anderson (1989), and Stephon Marbury (1995). Cremins' success, reputation and influence also extend beyond the borders of the United States. His 1996 assignment as an assistant to Atlanta Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens coaching the USA team in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Games was his third tour of duty for USA Basketball.

    Cremins tours extensively as a motivational speaker, and has been a color commentator for a host of SoCon, ACC and NCAA basketball games. He works with charities, mainly for Coaches vs. Cancer and the Jimmy V Foundation.
