Horace Broadnax made a name for himself during his college career by helping lead Georgetown University to the 1984 NCAA Men’s National Championship Title and as National Championship runner-ups in 1985. Horace’s Georgetown team was an incredible 115-25 over his four-year career, including 30 plus wins seasons in 1984 and 1985. After receiving his Finance degree from Georgetown in 1986, Horace continued on in his studies, obtaining his Juris Doctorate from Florida State University in 1991. Today he remains one of the only coaches in the NCAA to have such a prestigious post-graduate degree as a Juris Doctorate.

Savannah State University Athletics Director Tony O’Neal named Horace Broadnax the head coach for the Savannah State University men’s basketball team on April 11, 2005. Horace has revived the Savannah State University Men’s Basketball Program. A school that finished winless just one year before Horace took over as Head Coach, the program has gone on to win 25 games over the last two seasons!

Broadnax came to SSU after practicing law for three years. Prior, he was the head men’s basketball coach at Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Fla., from 1997 until 2002. The Plant City, Fla., native is credited with reviving the men’s basketball program at Bethune-Cookman College.

Broadnax earned the title again after the men’s team earned its first number one ranking in the MEAC during the 1999-2000 regular season. Broadnax stepped down in 2002 for family reasons.
