Moreland has a long storied history with TSU Athletics. He remains the winningest coach in TSU basketball history having coached the men’s basketball team for 26 years. As coach, Moreland coached the Tigers to one national championship, ten SWAC championships, made three NCAA appearances and produced two SWAC Hall of Fame inductees. “I am excited to be back at the helm of TSU Men’s basketball. I have dedicated my career to TSU athletics because of my love for the program and my care and concern for our student athletes. This is a great opportunity for me to help the university as it transitions to a permanent coach.” Coach Moreland will be inducted into the SWAC Hall of Fame on December 13, 2007 in Birmingham, Alabama.
“Coach Moreland is a welcome and familiar face among both our student athletes and our alumni and we are looking forward to a dynamic season of TSU basketball,” added Athletic Director Alois Blackwell. Practice will begin on October 13, 2007 and the TSU Tigers will face Texas A&M at Corpus Christi on November 10, 2007.
