PHARR NAMED AS PERMANENT HEAD MBB COACH

. | 2/15/2019

Mario Pharr, who returned to Blue Lights College in December as Interim Men's Basketball Coach, has been named permanently to the position heading into the conclusion of the season.

College President Captain Jacques Gilbert said Pharr has earned the promotion. "Mario has worked tirelessly for the team and the school since returning," said Gilbert, "and I couldn't be happier to have him as our coach."

"Teams take on the character of their coach," said Athletic Director Mike Davis. "Mario's team respects his leadership and exhibits poise and maturity. We are very pleased that Mario has accepted the challenge."

"I am very excited to be a part of Blue Lights, and I want to make this the best team in the state and the country," said Pharr after having the "interim" tag removed.

Pharr took over the team in December after the departure of the school's first basketball coach, Zach Hendricks. Pharr served as Hendricks' lead assistant last season. Since taking the helm, the Thoroughbreds have gone 5-4 with three regular season games and two post-season tournaments remaining.
