Southern Miss Men’s Head Basketball Coach makes stop in Pascagoula

Sports Director Jevan McCoskey was in Pascagoula last night as Southern Miss Head Basketball Coach Jay Ladner made his way to the Coast.

He has more from the fundraiser event on Wednesday as Coach Ladner made his way back to where his coaching career began in South Mississippi.

Last season, the Golden Eagles finished .500 in their regular season and conference record. 16 and 16 overall and 9-9 record against Sun Belt competition.

Southern Miss was dominant at home, going 11-3 at Reed Green Coliseum, but struggled on the road, finishing with a 5-9 record away from Hattiesburg and an 0-4 record in neutral site games.

Coach Ladner was sidelined for a majority of the 2023-24 season after suffering a heart attack.
