50 Most Impactful Coaches in JUCO Men's Basketball

This is a list, not a ranking, of 50 current JUCO Men's Basketball coaches that have made and continue to make an outstanding impact on their players, programs, and the game itself. 

 

MIKE NESBITT - NEW MEXICO

Nesbitt, an Indiana native, has turned in two 23-9 seasons in his first two years as a JUCO coach.  The first coming at Panola in Carthage, TX and the second coming at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, NM.  Last season at Panola, the team recorded a second place finish in Region XIV. He recruited and coached four players that ended up signing Division 1 (Cleveland State, Prairie View A&M, Mississippi Valley State, and South Carolina State). Nesbitt was the Ponies Academic Coordinator and oversaw a team GPA of a 3.0 in the Fall Semester, which was the highest in the Grant McMillan era at Panola. In the year prior to that,  Nesbitt was a part of a staff that nearly tripled their D1 win total from the previous season and appeared in the school's first semifinal contest at the Big Sky Tournament.  A bright future is in store!
