A.G. Hall begins his second season with the Bethune-Cookman University Women's basketball program, recently named Associate Head Coach. He works primarily with the post players, but is involved in all aspects of the Lady Wildcats' program.

Hall joined the Lady Wildcats after one season at Clemson University, where he served as an Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. Prior to his work with the Lady Tigers in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Hall spent six seasons as an assistant with the Providence College women's program. "A.G. is no stranger to Bethune-Cookman, with a storied history in his family at this institution," said Head Coach Vanessa Blair.

"Everyone on campus speaks very highly of the Hall family; it's almost like a `welcome back home' ceremony for him, so we're really excited to have him back as a part of the family again."

Hall is a native of Jacksonville, Fla., and not only has ties to the Southeast, but specifically to Bethune-Cookman. A.G.'s brother, the late, great J.D. Hall was a legendary quarterback for the Wildcats in the late 80's and early 90's. His name graces the history books at B-CU as the leader in single-season passing completions (215) and career completions (558), while currently second on the all-time lists in career passing yards (7,154), single-season yards (2,680), season touchdown passes (20), and career passing touchdowns (44). His jersey, #12, is singled out as one of Bethune-Cookman's Famous Wildcat Numbers. "I'm extremely excited to be part of this program," said Hall. "Bethune-Cookman has always been a big part of our family, and for me to come back and be part of this program is a great opportunity for me."

While at Providence, Hall coached Mi- Khida Hankins to the Big East All-Freshman Team honors as the rookie averaged 10.4 points per game with a 4.0 rebounds per game figure. He helped Providence to nearly triple its win total from his first three seasons in the final three years of his tenure.

Prior to joining the staff at Providence, Hall served as Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at North Carolina Central University for two seasons (2000-2002). During his first season at NCCU, Hall orchestrated an Eagle defense that finished No. 4 in NCAA Division II Women's Basketball. His contributions helped the Eagles post a 16-game winning streak, maintain an undefeated home record for two seasons and earn a first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Hall served as the recruiting coordinator for the Eagles and was responsible for arranging off-campus recruiting visits and official visits for prospects.

During the 2001-02 season, Hall helped guide the Eagles to a regular-season conference championship and an appearance in the NCAA Division II round of 16. He also aided in the development of 2002 WNBA Draft Pick, Amba Kongola, who became the first women's basketball student-athlete in school (and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association) history to be drafted into the WNBA when the Phoenix Mercury selected her with the 56th pick. Hall also developed Zakia Vanhoose and Shenika Worthy who were both honored as All-CIAA Conference and HBCU All-Americans. Hall's first recruit, Tiona Beatty, earned CIAA Conference honors twice and scored over 1,200 points for her career.

An athlete himself in college, Hall was a four-year letterwinner (1994-98) at North Carolina Central University. He helped guide his squad to two Divisional titles and two at-large bids to the NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament.

In 1998, Hall earned a B.A. in Business Administration from North Carolina Central University. Hall is married to Donna and has three sons, Jalen, Kamran, Benjamin, who join him in Daytona Beach.

"I've had some success in recruiting and developing players," Hall says of his latest position, "but my career goal is to be a major contributor in the X's and O's, and I think Coach Blair will give me an opportunity to do that."
