Associate Head Coach Jayson Gee is leaving the Cleveland State men's basketball program after seven seasons. He was named the head coach at Longwood University on Wednesday.
"Jayson has been long overdue for an opportunity to show his skills and abilities as a head coach at the Division I level," CSU head coach Gary Waters said. "Now it's time for him to run his own program and put his stamp on it. I believe Jayson will do an outstanding job as the head basketball coach at Longwood University.
"We thank Jayson for the seven years he spent at Cleveland State and the tremendous impact he had on our program."
"I am extremely excited and blessed to have been afforded the opportunity to join the Longwood University family," Gee said. "This is truly a 'defining moment' for me and my entire family. I look forward to connecting with the Farmville community and the entire Lancer Nation."
Gee will formally be introduced on campus in Farmville, Va. on Wednesday, April 10 at 11:00 a.m. in Willett Hall.
During his time at CSU, Gee helped CSU to a pair of Horizon League Championships, one NCAA bid and four NIT berths. The 2009 squad advanced to the final 32 of the NCAA tournament after an opening round win over Wake Forest.
