“I want to thank the search committee for their due diligence throughout the process and we are excited to announce coach Madlock as our new head men’s basketball coach,” Cable said. “He comes to Montgomery with a wealth of experience as a high-level recruiter and as a head coach that oversaw one of the biggest turnarounds in Division I basketball this year. Tony is a high-character guy that believes in the total development of the student-athlete, and his passion for the game is unmatched.
Madlock was named as a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award, given to college basketball’s top first-year coach after leading South Carolina State to its highest win total since 2015-16. The 15 wins by South Carolina State is the highest total in five seasons, with he and his son – TJ – leading the Bulldogs to one of the top turnarounds in the NCAA with 14 more wins than the program had all of 2020-21.
Prior to being named the head coach of the Bulldogs, he spent three years as an assistant coach under former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway at Memphis. Madlock, who has 25-plus years of experience as a college assistant, also spent 2017-18 as the interim head coach at Ole Miss. During his time at Memphis, he reunited with Hardaway – a teammate during the 1991-92 season in which they reached the 1992 Elite Eight.
Prior to Ole Miss, Madlock spent four seasons as an assistant coach on Tony Barbee’s staff at Auburn and four seasons as an assistant at UTEP. He was an assistant at Arkansas State for nine seasons, where he spent six of his nine years as the assistant head coach prior to leaving for UTEP.
