Topic:  How Coaching Relates to Life

Speaker:  Bobby Cremins

Bobby Cremins, a veteran of 28 seasons as a college basketball head coach and the winningest coach in Georgia Tech history, begins his fourth season as head coach at the College of Charleston. Cremins was named coach of the Cougars on July 3, 2006.

The Bronx, N.Y. native, who coached six seasons at Appalachian State (1976-81, 100-70) and 19 at Georgia Tech (1982-2000, 354-237), sports a 519-344 (.601) overall career record. He led Appalachian State to one NCAA Tournament berth and Georgia Tech to nine.

Charleston enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in school history in 2008-09.  The Cougars finished with a 27-9 overall record and a 15-5 Southern Conference mark.  The Cougars posted a 3-1 record in the SoCon Tournament losing in the title game.  Cremins earned his 500th career win in December in the Cougars' 73-58 victory over Coastal Carolina.  The season also included a pair of wins over Davidson and an overtime upset of Cremins' alma mater South Carolina, 82-80.  Jermaine Johnson, Tony White, Jr. and Andrew Goudelock all surpassed the 1,000-point plateau for their careers.  Goudelock was a unanimous All-SoCon first team selection, while Johnson earned third team honors from the league's media.

The Cougars posted a 16-17 season in 2007-08 and reached the semifinals of the Southern Conference Tournament.  The Cougars placed three players on All-Southern Conference teams, as only Davidson had as many players earned all-league honors.   Jermaine Johnson and Andrew Goudelock earned second team honors, while Tony White, Jr. was named to the third team.

Cremins led Charleston to a 22-11 record in 2006-07, one of the most successful seasons in school history.  Charleston, which won 13 of 18 Southern Conference games, finished second in the Southern Conference Tournament.  Charleston won 20 games for the first time since 2003-04 and for the 21st time in the last 27 seasons overall.

Cremins became Georgia Tech’s all-time winningest coach during the 1995-96 season. He was inducted into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame on June 9, 2006 and the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame on October 6, 2006.

Cremins guided Tech to 14 winning seasons and 14 postseason berths in his 19 years. He led the Yellow Jackets to three ACC tournament titles, two ACC regular-season titles and a Final Four appearance in 1989-90.

Tech’s 1989-90 team solidified Cremins’ reputation as one of America’s best coaches as the Jackets compiled a 28-7 record, the most wins in school history, en route to their first NCAA Final Four. For his efforts that season, Cremins was named as the national "Coach of the Year" by the Naismith Awards program. It marked the second time in his career that Cremins won national coaching honors.

 After leaving Georgia Tech, Cremins toured the country as a motivational speaker, and did television commentary on SoCon, ACC and NCAA basketball games. He works with charities, mainly for Coaches vs. Cancer and the Jimmy V Foundation. Bobby also raises money for a five-to-six week summer program, half of the participants are disadvantaged kids, called Hilton Head Basketball Camp 101.

After graduating from South Carolina in 1970 with a B.S. degree in Marketing, Cremins played professional basketball in Ecuador before beginning his collegiate coaching career at Point Park College in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1972. He returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach in 1973.

After a two-year stint at USC, Cremins, born on July 4, 1947, was chosen to build the Appalachian State program-becoming the youngest Division I head coach in the NCAA at age 27. After a first year mark of 13-14, the Mountaineers posted a five-year record of 87-56, a 60-percent winning mark, while capturing three Southern Conference titles. His 1978-79 team registered a 23-6 mark and an NCAA bid while his 1980-81 squad was 20-9.

Cremins received the M.S. degree in Guidance and Counseling in 1972, also from South Carolina. He was a three-year starter at point guard under legendary coach Frank McGuire, leading the Gamecocks to some of their most successful seasons and a 61-17 record.  Cremins was inducted into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame on September 20, 2007.

He and his wife Carolyn have three children: Liz, Suzie, and Bobby, III.
