Coach Anderson just clinched the regular season championship of the SWAC. His team went 15 and 1 in the conference.
He has had an incredible career. Not just length, but depth. Quality. I wonder what would have happened if Anderson had been made head coach at Georgia.

Former UGA Assistant Coach, Tevester Anderson,
has announced that Jackson State University will be hosting a "midnight madness" game this Friday.
Madness
Some coaches really believe in the concept of kicking off the official start of basketball practice by having a midnight scrimmage, open to the public, complete with slam dunk competitions and the like. At Kentucky, the game is an institution.
Other coaches don't like the idea, since players can get injured in their attempts to show off for the fans.
I'm not sure why the idea has never caught on at Georgia. The team has had and is getting the types of athletes that would make the event fun for the fans. Although I wouldn't be able to attend, it would be a fun events for the students. And if it were broadcast later on television, as UK's scrimmage was, you bet I would watch it.

Tevester Anderson's Virgin Islands Team Wins Silver
The Virgin Islands basketball team was successful all the way to the championship round in the FIBAs America basketball games last week. Puerto Rico, however, took home the gold.
Puerto Rico won the championship game by hitting 15 of 27 from three-point distance. Carlos Arroyo, who has played for the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, and Orlando Magic, was 5 of 10 from that distance. Carmelo Lee was even better, hitting 5 of 7 from behind the arc. Juan Barea, a player for the Dallas Mavericks, won the MVP award for the games.
Tevester Anderson's Virgin Island's team has now won the silver medal two years in a row. Although disappointed, Anderson indicated that he was proud of the fact that his team gave it their all, and the "third time might be the charm."

Tevester Anderson coached for 9 years at the University of Georgia (1986 to 1995). During his tenure, Georgia earned five post-season berths, including three trips to the NCAA tournament. After leaving Georgia, Anderson coached at Murray State. As a head coach at Murray State, his teams averaged over 20 wins per season.
Anderson is the current head coach at Jackson State of the SWAC conference. He and his wife, Joyce, have 9 children.
Congratulations to Coach Anderson!
