Offseason Occurrences

After the end of the 2015-16 season, work was completed on the new GSU Practice Facility, an indoor gym complete with 6 courts.^[1] This addition was mandated by head coach Ron Hunter after the March Madness run in 2015.^[2]

Assistant coach Everick Sullivan was hired by Lenoir-Rhyne University to serve as head basketball coach after coaching the Panthers for five season. ^[3] Shortly afterwards, Sharman White, the head basketball coach of Metro Atlanta high school Miller Grove was hired after winning his team seven state titles. ^[4] Another assistant coach, Daryl LaBarrie, also left the Panthers to work as assistant coach at his alma mater, Georgia Tech. He was eventually replaced by former Detroit head coach Ray McCallum. ^[5]
