Jamion Christian (born April 18, 1982)[1] is an American college basketball coach. He is the current and 22nd head coach of men’s basketball at Mount St. Mary's University.[2] He is under contract to coach the team through the 2018–19 season.[3]
Biography
Christian was born and raised in Quinton, Virginia. As a shooting guard, he led New Kent High School to a Virginia High School League State Championship with a 26–0 record and earned the VHSL Group A State Player of the Year honors. Christian then became a shooting guard and a three-year captain for Mount St. Mary's under head coaches Jim Phelan and Milan Brown.
Assistant coaching career
Christian began his coaching career as an assistant at Emory and Henry College (2004–06), Bucknell (2006–08), and William & Mary (2008–11). Christian then served as an assistant at Virginia Commonwealth (2011–12) under head coach Shaka Smart, helping the Rams to the third round of the 2012 NCAA tournament.
Head coaching career
Mount St. Mary's hired Christian as head coach on March 26, 2012. Christian implemented an up-tempo offense and “mayhem” defense, comparable to VCU's "havoc" defense popularized by Shaka Smart. During the 2012-13 season, the Mountaineers qualified for the NEC tournament for the first time since the 2009–10 season. As a No. 5 seed, Mount St. Mary's upset Bryant and Robert Morris, but lost to Long Island University in the championship game.[4] During the 2013-14 season, the Mountaineers won the NEC tournament and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
