Jerry Stackhouse

Vanderbilt men's basketball coach Jerry Stackhouse was known to sing the national anthem before NBA games on occasion during his playing days, and he took the field Friday morning to try his hand once more. Wearing what a game-used Kumar Rocker jersey, Stackhouse sung the national anthem ahead of Vanderbilt's Super Regionals Game 1 against East Carolina.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are considered as the faces and the future of the Boston Celtics franchise. However, according to ex-NBA swingman Jerry Stackhouse, another future All-Star is lurking behind their shadows and could very well form a new “Big 3” with the two youngsters. Speaking on the A....

Aaron Nesmith found his shot and his place in the Celtics rotation these past two weeks after rarely making threes in two stints to begin this season in Boston. He told CLNS Media last week that he was forced to slightly adjust his game, transitioning toward defense and hustle plays to retain playing time following the fastest transition from the NBA Draft to a rookie season.

When Jerry Stackhouse became Vanderbilt’s head basketball coach in 2019, the speculation was that if he were successful here, he would become a candidate for the North Carolina job if and when Roy Williams retired. Roy Williams has retired, Jerry Stackhouse has a 20-37 record in two years at Vanderbilt,...

Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse is a candidate to succeed Roy Williams as the head coach at North Carolina, according to the News & Observer's C.L. Brown. Stackhouse played for the Tar Heels for two seasons, helping the program reach the Final Four in 1995. Brown reported current UNC assistants...

Roy Williams’ decision to retire from UNC yesterday leaves a vacancy at one of the most prominent blue bloods in all of college basketball. The program has started the search for its next head coach, but former Tar Heels star Ed Cota has one name in mind. The former North Carolina point guard from 1996-2000 endorsed his former teammate and Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse.

With Roy Williams‘ retirement, one of the best jobs in college basketball is now open. The North Carolina program has often kept things in the family whenever possible, though there aren’t a ton of high-profile UNC alumni that are obvious candidates for the job. One of the most notable former UNC stars out there, and one who is already coaching at the Power Five ranks: Jerry Stackhouse.

Thursday’s 69-63 loss to the Florida Gators in the SEC Tournament concluded head coach Jerry Stackhouse’s second season at the helm of the Vanderbilt men’s basketball program. After finishing 9-16 overall and 3-13 in conference play with one SEC Tournament win, the team marked its fourth straight season winning less than 13 total games and third consecutive year with three or fewer regular season SEC wins.

JERRY STACKHOUSE — OPENING STATEMENT:. "We're disappointed. Our goal was to come in here, really do something special. I thought our guys fought all the way. Had some opportunities, had some shots to give ourselves a chance. Thought we competed extremely hard, got defensive stops, all the things that you need to do to win a game like this. Just got to shoot a little better percentage. Talked all year, somewhere for us is getting around 11 or 12 threes. Tonight it was nine. We get a couple more of those, couple more stops here and there, could be singing a different story right now. I got no problem with the effort, no problem with how our guys competed. These guys really dealt with a lot this year with COVID, protocols. Every day they came to the gym, stayed together, tried to work hard, work on their game, with a lot of doubt, naysayers about who we were, what these kids were. They just kept going. Super proud of them. Can't wait to get a little bit of time off, let their legs breathe a little bit, probably 10, 11 days, then we'll get right back in the gym and start trying to get better to try to take it a step further next season."

Vanderbilt's 2020-21 season will extend for at least one more day after the Commodores defeated Texas A&M 79-68 on Wednesday in the first round of the SEC tournament. Scotty Pippen Jr. led Vanderbilt with 22 points, six assists and three steals, DJ Harvey scored a season-high 17 points and Maxwell Evans chipped in with 12 points. The 'Dores also knocked down 12 attempts from 3-point range to earn their fourth SEC win of the season.

When Aaron Nesmith was selected with the 14th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, many considered the sharpshooter to be the "perfect fit" for the Boston Celtics. However, it took a while for Nesmith to find his bearings in the NBA. The 3-ball he was known for at Vanderbilt wasn't falling in the early part of the season and he sometimes looked lost on the defensive end.

There were two distinct phases to Jerry Stackhouse’s NBA career, and they can be broken into the pre- and post-MJ eras, as he was once a teammate of Michael Jordan. Stackhouse wasn’t much of a shooter, but he was a scorer up to and including the 2002-03 season playing alongside Jordan for the Washington Wizards. Jordan retired after that season, and Stackhouse suddenly had a greatly reduced role for the remaining decade of his career with has a dozen teams.

It has been weeks since Vanderbilt got truly out-classed in an SEC game, but there still have been plenty of losses. Saturday brought another close one as Vanderbilt fell 82-78 at No. 8 Alabama despite strong performances from Scotty Pippen Jr., Dylan Disu and Maxwell Evans. Coach Jerry Stackhouse addressed reporters after the game via Zoom; below is a full transcript of his comments, lightly edited for clarity and brevity.
