Overall: 474-240 (.664)

Commitment, purpose and intensity are three
words that come to mind since Head Coach Terry Sellers took over
the Georgia College & State University basket-ball program. As
he enters his 17th season at Georgia College, and 26th as a college
head coach, Sellers is the program's all-time leader in career
victories (276), and has turned the program into a consistent
winner on the state, regional, and national level with young men
who have represented the school well on and off the court.
Under Sellers' guidance, the Bobcats have won four Peach Belt
Conference Championships (1997, 1999, 2000 & 2006), two PBC
Tournament Championships (1997 & 1999), an NCAA Regional
Championship (2000) and have been to the NCAA Tournament five times
(1997, 1999, 2000, 2006 & 2009), including a trip to the Elite
Eight in 2000. Sellers was named the Peach Belt Conference Coach of
the Year for the fourth time in 2008-09 after the Bobcats took
their fifth trip to the NCAA Tournament, posting a 22-7 overall
record and 15-5 league mark. The Bobcats also added their seventh
20-win season under Sellers in 2008-09.
Sellers led the Bobcats to the finest season in school history in
2000 after winning the PBC regular season title for the third time
in four years. That team went on to win the NCAA South Atlantic
Regional and advanced to the Elite Eight. The Bobcats were ranked
among the top-25 in the nation every week during the 1999-2000
season and posted a 25-6 record, including a perfect 11-0 record at
home.
Following the season Sellers was named the Peach
Belt Conference Coach of the Year for the second time in his
career. He was also honored by the Atlanta Tip-off Club as the
NCAA Division II Coach of the Year in the state of Georgia and
broke the school record for career victories with Georgia College's
victory over Gardner-Webb in the NCAA Tournament.
Sellers was named Peach Belt Coach of the Year following the
1996-97 season after guiding Georgia College to its first ever
Peach Belt Championship, as well as its first ever trip to the NCAA
Tournament. His 16-year .608 winning percentage at GCSU is the
second highest in school history. He has also notched seven 20-win
seasons at the school.
He is not a stranger to success however. He spent nine years at
Alabama Southern Community College where his teams averaged 22 wins
per year. Overall Sellers has posted a 474-240 record, with a
276-178 mark as the Bobcats coach. Now that his team has
established itself as a winner, coach Sellers is committed to
keeping the Bobcats on top.
Sellers isn't one to hide his intensity on the sidelines during a
basketball game, and that intense desire to succeed traces back to
his playing days at George Wallace Community College in Dothan,
Ala., and Auburn University at Montgomery. Sellers was an
all-conference player at George Wallace Community College, and he
led the Governors in scoring and free throw shooting. At Auburn
University at Montgomery he was also an all-conference player and
ranked fifth nationally in free throw percentage one season.
Sellers earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical
Education and School Administration from Auburn University at
Montgomery in 1976. Following graduation, Sellers spent one year as
an assistant coach at Auburn University at Montgomery. He then
moved on and spent five years as an assistant coach at the
University of Montevallo.
Sellers accepted his first head coaching job at Hardaway High
School in Columbus, Georgia. A year later Sellers was named the
head coach at Alabama Southern Community College where he earned
Southern Division Coach of the Year in 1990, 1991, and 1993. Under
his leadership Alabama Southern won four Southern Division
Championships, made several appearances in the junior college
national rankings, and finished second in Region 22 in both 1990
and 1991.
Sellers and his wife Cathy have two children; Sara and former
Bobcat guard Cooper. The Sellers' welcomed their first grandchild
in the summer of 2007, Anna Catherine.
