Greg Jackson is the head men's basketball coach at Delaware State University.[1] In 2006, Jackson led the Hornets to their first and, to date, only NCAA tournament bid.[2]

Prior to accepting the job at Delaware State, Jackson spent nine seasons as the head coach at North Carolina Central University, having been an assistant at Delaware for six seasons before that, winning the NCAA Division II men's basketball national championship game in 1989.[3] The entire 1989 championship winning team, including Jackson, was inducted into the North Carolina Central University Hall of Fame in 1997.[4]
