JACKSON, Miss. (May 15, 2017) – Long-time head men's basketball coach at Millsaps College and current Assistant AD, Tim Wise, has announced that he is leaving his position with the Majors to become the head boys basketball coach at Jackson Prep.
 
Wise began his coaching career at Millsaps in 1998 as an assistant coach, taking on the head coaching role for the 2003-04 season. His 14 seasons at the helm of the program, the second most in Millsaps history, included the 2007-08 season when Wise led the Majors to a 28-4 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance during which they won three games to advance to the Elite 8. With 143 victories during his tenure, Wise is the third winningest coach all-time at Millsaps.
 
"Tim and his family have been an important part of the Millsaps family for many years," remarked Donnie Brooks, Director of Athletics at Millsaps. "His contributions to Millsaps are many and very appreciated by everyone in the campus community. We all wish Tim and his family the best and will be cheering on his teams at Jackson Prep."
