HEAD COACH GREG The Gary File GARY Birthdate: February 14, 1970 FIRST SEASON Birthplace: Anderson, Ind. TULANE, 1992 High School: Anderson Highland, 1988 College: Tulane, 1992 (B.S., sport management) Wife: Claudia Daughters: Gabrielle, Logan, Alexandra and Brooklyn Son: Nash Greg Gary was named Mercer University’s men’s basketball head coach on March 26, 2019. He was introduced as the program’s Playing Experience new leader at a formal introductory press conference on April 1988: Aquinas College (Nashville, Tenn.) 3, 2019. 1989-92: Tulane (New Orleans, La.)

A veteran coach with 26 years at the NCAA Division I level, Gary Coaching Experience spent the previous eight seasons working under 1993-97: Tulane (asst.) at Purdue University. He helped the Boilermakers reached the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight last season and consecutive 1997-98: McNeese State (asst.) Sweet 16 appearances in 2017 and 2018. 1998-00: Tulane (asst.) 2000-04: Miami (Fla.) (asst.) “When we set out to look for a new head coach, we recognized 2004-07: South Florida (asst.) Greg early in the process as someone we were confident in 2007-08: Duquesne (asst.) leading our men’s basketball program,” said Director of Athletics 2008-10: Centenary (head coach) Jim Cole at the time of Gary’s hire. “Greg not only stood out for his proven background and style of play, but for the role he has 2010-11: Duquesne (asst.) played as a mentor to student-athletes throughout his career 2011-19: Purdue (asst.) as well as his commitment to growing them into leaders off 2019-Present: Mercer (head coach) the court. We’re so happy for Greg, his wife, Claudia, and his children – Gabrielle, Logan, Alexandra, Brooklyn and Nash – to be joining our Mercer Family.” Gary has made 16 postseason appearances as a college assistant and player, reaching the NCAA Tournament nine times. His on-court focus for the Boilermakers centered on the development of their wing and post players. Calling Purdue’s offensive sets, Gary helped Purdue lead the Big Ten Conference in scoring in two of the last three seasons with the nation’s second-most efficient offense. The Boilermakers led the Big Ten in three-point percentage and free throw percentage while ranking second nationally in assists per game during the 2016-17 season. Gary’s guidance was significant in the improvement of Purdue standouts Vincent Edwards, Ryan Cline and Dakota Mathias three seasons ago. Edwards made a jump from the power forward to small forward position and led the team in assists while ranking second on the team in scoring and third in rebounding. In 2014-15, Gary had a large impact on the development of Rapheal Davis, Mathias and Kendall Stephens, helping the Boilermakers to their first NCAA Tournament since 2012. Gary’s tutelage helped Davis become the Big Ten’s best defensive player, while also improving his offensive game. In Big Ten games only, Davis averaged 12.2 points per game, a 5.3 points per game improvement from his sophomore to his junior season. He has also improved his three-point shooting 132 points from his freshman (.250) to his junior year (.382). Gary’s first season in West Lafayette was a successful one, as he helped guide the Boilers to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth year in a row. Forward Robbie Hummel was named an honorable mention All-American and received first-team All-Big Ten recognition after leading Purdue in scoring, rebounds and blocked shots. Hummel was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft, becoming one of 12 players to be drafted by an NBA franchise or spend time on an NBA roster after receiving Gary’s guidance.
