    Harold Mann Talks Basketball With New Lamar Coach Jordan Fee

    The architect of the greatest single-season turnaround in NCAA history, a Division II National Champion and National Coach of the Year, Jordan Fee has been named as Lamar University head men's basketball coach announced LU Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeff O'Malley Saturday afternoon. Fee becomes the 13th head coach in program history.   "I am extremely excited to be announcing Jordan as our next head basketball coach," said O'Malley. "Jordan has been described as a 'driving force' and I think once our fans get a chance to meet him they will understand why. Jordan is a dynamic individual whose résumé speaks for itself. He is looking forward to being a Cardinal and we're excited to be handing him the reins."   Fee comes to the Golden Triangle from Boca Raton, Fla., where he spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Florida Atlantic, including this past year where he was promoted to associate head coach, helping lead the Owls to 36 wins and a 2025 postseason berth.   Fee's meteoric rise to the NCAA Division I ranks comes as a shock to no one after building a résumé boasting of some of the most prolific offensive numbers in NCAA history. After spending eight seasons at Nova Southeastern University – seven as assistant and the final year as associate head coach – Fee was named head coach at Gannon University. What followed was a turnaround that grabbed national headlines.   Taking over a program that posted a 3-23 (.115) overall record the year before his arrival, Fee literally flipped the script recording a 32-3 (.914) mark while Gannon also made a 17-win improvement in conference play. The Golden Knights would go on to lead NCAA Division II in scoring (100.4 points per game), win the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) regular-season and tournament title, win the NCAA DII Atlantic Region title and advance to the 2024 Division II Elite Eight and record the greatest single-season turnaround in NCAA history, regardless of division or gender. For his efforts, Fee was named both PSAC West Coach of the Year and NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year.   Fee took over as GU's head coach following a year where he helped guide Nova Southeastern to a perfect 36-0 record and an NCAA Division II National Championship.   "Lamar University has a proud history of excellence on the basketball court, and we are committed to bringing that championship‑level success back to Beaumont," said LU President Dr. Jaime Taylor. "This search generated tremendous national interest, and I am confident that we have identified the right leader for Lamar University. Jordan brings an energy, a vision, and a proven record that align perfectly with who we are and where we intend to go. He is one of the true rising stars in the coaching profession, and I am excited to see our program grow and thrive under his leadership."   Fee has left a paper trail of success that is hard to ignore in the world of collegiate basketball. During his time as either head coach or assistant, Fee has helped coach a National Champion, posted a 178-77 (.698) overall record, three NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances, four NCAA Division II tournament appearances, three South Region Championships, three conference regular season and tournament titles and recruited and developed consecutive DII National Players of the Year.
