Justin Jennings joined the Drexel men's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant on Zach Spiker's staff at Army West Point.
In 2015-16, Jennings helped coach the Black Knights to a 19-14 record, tied for best overall record in the Patriot League. The team, which featured four active 1,000-point scorers, also went on to earn Army's first postseason appearance since Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski led the academy to the National Invitation Tournament in 1978.
The 19 wins were the most by Army since the 1977-78 season, and the team’s 11 road wins set a school record. The back-to-back 15-win seasons Jennings assisted with were part of a four-year stretch of 15 or more wins, Army’s first such stretch since the 1920s.
Prior to joining Spiker’s staff, Jennings was the head coach at the United States Military Academy Prep School for three seasons. Jennings guided the team to a 77-18 mark, including a 27-5 record in his final season at the helm. He had spent the three seasons prior to arriving at West Point as an assistant coach at Carnegie Mellon.
Before joining the coaching ranks, Jennings was a four-year starter at Penn State Behrend, where he finished third all-time in career assists in school history and helped lead the team to two NCAA and two ECAC appearances. He served as an assistant coach for two seasons at Penn State Behrend following the completion of his playing career.
