JEFF REYNOLDS
COACH I NG CAREER
Jeff Reynolds is in his third season as the Director of
Men’s Basketball Operations at Virginia Tech. He has
a strong connection with the State of Virginia, as he
had previously had been a high school and collegiate
coach in the Commonwealth.
He came to Virginia Tech following two years in
the same position at Marquette. Before arriving in
Milwaukee, Reynolds spent five seasons (2007-08
through 2011-12) as the head coach at Air Force,
where he helped the Falcons to a postseason
appearance in the
CollegeInsider.comtournament.
Previous to taking over the head coaching duties at
Air Force, Reynolds served as an assistant coach for
two seasons. In the two years, the Falcons were one
of just 17 teams in NCAA Division I to win at least 50
games total.
Reynolds arrived at the Academy after serving as an
assistant coach at Tulane for five seasons. During
his time at Tulane, Reynolds coached Linton
Johnson, who played in the NBA for six seasons,
most recently with the Phoenix Suns. Johnson
was a member of the San Antonio Spurs when
they won the NBA championship in 2005.
Prior to his stint at Tulane, Reynolds served
as the head coach at Division II Wingate
University in Wingate, N.C., where he logged
an impressive 61-27 record in three seasons.
He coached Lorenzo “Junior” Harrington while
at Wingate. Harrington played three seasons
in the NBA for Denver, New Orleans and
Memphis.
In those three seasons, Reynolds built the
program into a Division II powerhouse.
In 1999-2000, his team led the nation
in scoring defense and posted an
impressive 26-4 record, closing the year
with a final national ranking of No. 7 and a
spot in the NCAA Tournament.
In 1998-99, Reynolds guided Wingate to
its first NCAA Tournament bid, as well as its
first national ranking, and the Bulldogs closed that season
with a 23-6 mark as Reynolds earned South Atlantic
Conference Coach of the Year honors.
As the top assistant coach at his alma mater, UNC-
Greensboro, from 1995-97, Reynolds helped the program
to the 1996 Big South Championship and a bid to the
1996 NCAA Tournament. The Spartans fell to Elite Eight
team Cincinnati, 66-61, in the first round.
Prior to that, he served for four years as the top assistant
at UNC-Wilmington, helping the Seahawks to Colonial
Athletic Association Most Improved Team honors in 1992.
Reynolds began his college coaching career at James
Madison University in 1981, serving as a part-time
assistant for a team which won 24 games and advanced
to the NCAA Tournament in 1982. He went on to Division
II power Randolph-Macon College, which reeled off three
straight NCAA Tournament appearances and earned a
No. 4 national ranking in the final poll of 1984. Before
going to JMU, Reynolds coached three years at Carroll
County High School in nearby Hillsville, Va., the first two
years as assistant coach before being promoted to the
head coaching position in his final season.
He logged one year as the head coach of North Carolina
Wesleyan College in 1985-86, leading the program to
a 21-7 mark and the Dixie Conference Championship,
before moving on to Winthrop College as an assistant
coach for four years. At Winthrop, he was directly involved
in the team’s transition from Division II to Division I, and,
in 1988, the school captured the Big South Conference
Championship.
Reynolds is married to the former Janet Montgomery.
