MEN’S HEAD COACH

ROB LANIER 2019 – Present

Georgia State named Tennessee Associate Head Coach Rob Lanier as the Panthers next men’s basketball head coach on April 5, 2019.

Now entering his third season at the helm of the Georgia State program, Rob Lanier was named head coach on April 5, 2019. In his second season, he guided the Panthers to a 16-6 record and a thirdstraight appearance in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship Game. Along the way, he led the Panthers to a opening night, quadruple overtime victory over Georgia Tech, marking the program’s first win over an ACC opponent in school history.

In just his first season he led the Panthers to a 19win year and postseason eligibility for a seventh-straight season. The 2019-20 season included a seven-game winning streak and winning the 2K Empire Classic Riverside Regional.

Prior to his arrival at Georgia State, Lanier spent four seasons as associate head coach at Tennessee.

The Volunteers finished the 2018-19 season 31-6, 10

advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The season included a win over the No. 1 team in the nation and a No. 1 national ranking for the Volunteers.

In addition to boasting four years of Division I head coaching experience at Siena, the 53-year-old Lanier also has coached in the Big 12, SEC, ACC, Big East, Atlantic 10 and MAAC. He has worked on the bench for 11 teams that advanced to NCAA Tournament play.

Immediately prior to his hiring at Tennessee in April 2015, Lanier served four seasons for Rick Barnes as the associate head coach at Texas from 2011-15. It was Lanier’s second stint on Barnes’ staff in Austin.

Texas’ three-man recruiting class in 2014 featured McDonald’s All-American Myles Turner (No. 2 recruit by ESPN), No. 86-ranked prospect Jordan Barnett and transfer Shaquille Cleare, who was rated the No. 30 prospect nationally in 2012 by ESPN.

Ge o rg ia St a t e Sp o rt s .c o m

Texas’ six-man freshman class in 2012 was ranked No. 4 nationally by ESPN and included McDonald’s All-American Cameron Ridley, while the Longhorn’s six-man freshman crop in 2011 was tabbed the No. 4 recruiting class in the country by ESPN and included McDonald’s All-American Myck Kabongo.

In total, Lanier has played a role in signing nine McDonald’s All-Americans, and 11 players that he either signed or coached have gone on to become NBA Draft Picks. Before returning to Texas, Lanier served as assistant coach under Billy Donovan at Florida for four seasons. In those four years, Lanier helped the Gators advance to postseason play every year while posting a 99-44 (.692) cumulative record.

Florida totaled 24 and 25 victories in 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. In 2009-10, the Gators went 21-13 and earned an NCAA Tournament berth. Florida then registered a 29-8 mark in 201011, won the SEC regular-season championship (13-3 record) and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight.

Lanier’s tenure at Florida was preceded by a twoyear stint as an assistant coach on Dave Leitao’s coaching staff at Virginia. During his second year in Charlottesville (2006-07), the Cavaliers posted a 21-11 record and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Despite being picked to finish eighth in the conference, Virginia registered an 11-5 mark in league play and claimed a share of the ACC regular-season championship with North Carolina. It marked the first league title for the Cavaliers since 1994-95.

Lanier spent four years as the head coach at Siena from 2001-05. During that span, the Saints advanced to one NCAA Tournament and one NIT. Siena won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament Championship in 2002 and then defeated Alcorn State in an NCAA Tournament opening-round game before losing to eventual national champion Maryland in the first round. During the 2002-03 campaign, Lanier guided Siena to a 21-11 record and a third-place MAAC finish with a 12-6 league mark before advancing to the NIT. Prior to becoming the head coach at Siena, Lanier worked alongside Barnes as an assistant coach at Texas for two seasons from 1999-2001.

During that first stint in Austin, the Longhorns

recorded a two-year mark of 49-18 (.731) and advanced to a pair of NCAA Tournaments. Texas posted a 24-9 record in 1999-2000, finished second in the Big 12 with a 13-3 league mark and advanced to the second Round of the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to Lanier’s departure to take over the program at Siena, he played a major role in the recruitment of T.J. Ford, who went on to earn National Player of the Year honors with the Longhorns in 2002-03.

Lanier served as an assistant coach at Rutgers University for two seasons from 1997-99. While at Rutgers, he was instrumental in helping the Scarlet Knights secure back-to-back nationally-ranked recruiting classes. Included in Lanier’s first class was guard Dahntay Jones, who went on to earn 1999 Big East All-Rookie Team honors. Jones NBA career spanned more than 14 seasons, including a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.

A native of Buffalo, N.Y., Lanier graduated from St. Bonaventure in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. A four-year letterman with the Bonnies who scored 868 career points, he was a three-year starter and team captain during his senior season.

Lanier earned Atlantic 10 Conference AllFreshman Team honors in 1986-87 and was named the team’s Most Improved Player in 1988-89. A twotime scholar-athlete nominee, he went on to earn a master’s degree in educational counseling from Niagara in 1993.

Born July 24, 1968, Lanier and his wife, Dr. Dayo Lanier, have a son, Emory, and a daughter, Kai. Lanier’s cousin, Bob Lanier, is enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Bob Lanier led St. Bonaventure to the NCAA Final Four in 1970 before embarking on a 14-year NBA career that included eight All-Star selections.

WOMEN’S HEAD COACH

GENE HILL 2018 – Present

Hill led one of the youngest teams in NCAA D1 History, with six freshmen averaging at least 10 minutes per game. The Panthers defeated New Mexico State on Nov. 29 in El Paso, Texas for the program’s 600th win.

With a long track record of winning and ties to Atlanta, Gene Hill was named the head women’s basketball coach at Georgia State University by Director of Athletics Charlie Cobb on April 19, 2018.

Hill navigated the Covid-19 environment throughout a challenging 2020-21 season, leading GSU to a winning season for the second time in his first three years. The Panthers won the final three games of the regular season to earn the No. 2 seed in the East at the conference tournament. It was the first time the program had earned a No. 2 seed since 2001.

He led one of the youngest teams in NCAA D-I in 2019-20 with six freshmen averaging at least 10 minutes per game. The Panthers defeated New Mexico State on Nov. 29 in El Paso, Texas for the program's 600th win.

14

In his first season at Georgia State, Hill led the Panthers to a historic season, going 17-14 (11-7 Sun Belt) and earning a bid to the WBI, GSU's first postseason appearance since 2003. Hill's first year marked the winningest season in GSU history since 2003-04. The seven-win improvement in conference play from the previous year ranked fifth in Division-I and the team's 11 Sun Belt wins was the most conference wins for GSU since 2004-05.

The Panthers set a school single-season record for most 3-pointers made.

Prior to GSU, Hill spent the previous five seasons at NC State, helping lead the Wolfpack to a 112-52 record, including three NCAA Tournament appearances.

Prior to his five years at NC State, Hill worked at Georgia Tech from 2009-12 as the Yellow Jackets made four consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament, including the program’s first Sweet 16 appearance in 2012.

Ge o rg ia St a t e Sp o rt s .c o m

Hill was one of just 14 assistant coaches from around the country chosen to participate in Advocates for Athletic Equity’s (AAE) annual “Achieving Coaching Excellence” (ACE) Professional Development Program for basketball coaches in June 2016. The program is recognized as helping to boost the careers of some of the top minority coaches in the college game.

Before Georgia Tech, Hill served six seasons on the Butler women’s basketball staff, including two years as associate head coach, after serving as the interim head women’s basketball coach at East Carolina University during the 2001-02 season.

Hill was the head women’s basketball coach at USC Spartanburg from 1999-01. While in Spartanburg, he recruited three USA Today Honorable Mention All-Americans and the 200001 Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Year.

From 1997-99, Hill served as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Lander (S.C.) University. He helped lead the Bearcats to their first Peach Belt Conference Tournament championship and earned an NCAA Division II Tournament bid.

Hill graduated from Coker (S.C.) College with a degree in physical education in 1997. He grew up just outside of Atlanta in LaGrange, Ga. Hill has been invited to attend The Villa 7 Consortium multiple times in Beaverton, Ore., a group of women’s basketball assistant coaches who are considered to be the next generation of rising head coaches in the country.

Hill and his wife, Heidi, have two children: daughter, Genevieve Ashlynn and son Guy Alexander.

The Panthers won the final three games of the regular season to earn the No. 2 seed in the East at the conference tournament.

It was the first time the program had earned a No. 2 seed since 2001.

Director of Athletics

CHARLIE COBB Charlie Cobb enters his eighth year at the helm of the Georgia State Department of Athletics and 17th as a Division I athletics director, leading a transformation for the program throughout campus and the city of Atlanta.

Cobb was hired in August of 2014 to build a winning program “the right way” per former President Mark Becker. Since his hire, multiple new facilities have opened, while student-athletes maintained above a 3.0 Grade Point Average for the 13th-straight year, including a record 3.40 GPA in spring 2020. Georgia State also received the Sun Belt's Institutional Graduation Award twice under his tenure. Cobb currently serves on the NCAA D1 Council and was also recently appointed to the College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee.

Among Cobb’s biggest projects has been participating in the acquisition, purchase, and re-purposing of Turner Field, transforming the former Major League Baseball venue into the home of Georgia State football, now named Center Parc Credit Union Stadium in recognition of the $21 million, 15–year naming rights agreement reached in 2020. Phase One of the project was completed in August 2017 and included new east side seating and an artificial surface field for the football team. Phase Two moved all football operations to the stadium in 2019 as part of a $300 million plan to transform the 68-acre site. Future construction plans include the completion of an ‘Athletics Neighborhood’ as part of the development, including a new Convocation Center set to open in August 2022, baseball stadium, softball stadium, soccer facility (opening in August 2021), and track and field venue. The Bobby Jones Golf Practice Facility also opened in 2019.

On the field, the Panthers have garnered unprecedented success as football earned its first-ever appearance in a bowl game in 2015 and two years later winning the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando. A third bowl game appearance in five years came in 2019, followed by a fourth with a win in the 2020 LendingTree Bowl. Men's basketball pulled off a shocking upset in the NCAA tournament in 2015 and returned again in 2018 and 2019. Since returning to the Sun Belt in 2013, men's basketball has won more 50

games than any other program in the league.

Before returning to Atlanta, Cobb spent nine years as the Director of Athletics at Appalachian State.

Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the ChickFil-A Peach Bowl, and the Georgia Dome, before returning to his alma mater, NC State.

Through the implementation of the department's strategic plan, Cobb is focused on building a Culture of Success at Georgia State based on five themes: Academic Achievement, Competitive Greatness, Ethical Behavior, Social Responsibility, and Community Engagement. Those ideals helped him build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. The Mountaineers won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in FCS history.

They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner's Cup championships (top men's sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top women's program). Together, they earned the men's and women's awards in the same academic year four times.

At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers' fundraising efforts that reached all-time highs, and surpassed the $3 million mark. The jewel of the projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center and the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball, softball, and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility.

The 53-year-old Cobb was a four-year letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master's degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992. As a senior center, he was named to the All-ACC second team and was an All-ACC academic selection. He was awarded the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference's Jim Tatum Award, which recognizes the senior football player with the highest GPA. Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 24-year-old Harrison, a recent graduate of Hampden-Sydney College who is now obtaining a Masters in Sport Administration at Ohio University, and 20-year-old Branan, who attends Centre College.

Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women's soccer team from 1987-90 and is the current head soccer coach at Whitefield Academy.

PANTHER BAND

The Panther Basketball Band, referred to as “the Sound of Downtown”, was rated by its peers as one of the best college marching bands in the country.

T. DEVIN REID

Assistant Director of Bands

The Panther Basketball Band is a key element in the game day atmosphere at the Georgia State Sports Arena.

Recently referred to as “the Sound of Downtown,” the Panther Basketball Band plays at all men’s and women’s home basketball games, and at post-season tournaments.

Founded in 2010 along with the University’s football team, the Georgia State Panther Band has quickly made a name for itself performing for live, televised, and motion picture audiences. Rated by its peers as one of the best college marching bands in the country, the Panther Band was ranked among the top-ten bands in the nation by the College Band Directors National Association in 2013 and the top-five among the Southern Division in 2012 and 2016. In 2014, the band entertained millions along the streets of New York and on television as it participated in the 88th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2013, the Panther Band proudly marched through Washington, D.C. during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. In 2019, the Panther Band performed for over 100 million viewers as part of the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi Halftime Show.
