Jeremy Luther begins his fourth season as the head men's basketball coach at Armstrong Atlantic State University for the 2012-13 season.

Last year the Pirates went 10-16 overall and 6-12 in the Peach Belt Conference but sported wins over DII national finalist Montevallo as well as Augusta State, halting the Jaguars' 41-game home winning streak.

In 2010-11, Armstrong knocked off a pair of nationally-ranked opponents in USC Aiken and Georgia Southwestern State while spending most of January in the NCAA regional rankings. The Pirates finished the season 14-12 overall and 8-10 in the Peach Belt Conference.

In his first season with the Pirates, Luther directed a tremendous mid-season turnaround, winning seven of Armstrong's last nine conference games to earn a berth in the PBC Championships. The Pirates then took eventual PBC Tournament champion and Elite Eight participant Augusta State to the wire, losing 83-80 in Augusta. Overall, the Pirates went 12-16 in 2009-10 and 7-11 in PBC play.

Luther joined Armstrong from Newberry College, where he compiled a 33-24 overall record, including a 21-8 record in 2008-09, setting a school record for the most wins in a single season. Newberry finished in second in the South Atlantic Conference and also set a school record for most wins in SAC play, going 10-6 in the league.

Luther took over the Newberry program after serving six seasons as an assistant coach at Mercer University in Macon, Ga. Luther aided the Bears in capturing an Atlantic Sun Conference championship in 2003-04. While at Mercer, Luther was responsible for recruiting, strength and conditioning as well as scouting. Prior to joining Mercer, he was the head coach at Windsor Academy in Macon in 2000-01, as well as serving as an assistant at his alma mater, North Greenville, from 1998-2000. Luther received his bachelor's of arts degree in English from NGC in 1999.

Luther began his playing career at Robert Morris College where he played from 1992-93. After the season, he transferred to Liberty University where he played for two seasons. He would later transfer to Covenant College where he would score 1,300 points in two seasons with the Scots. Following his senior year, he was named an NAIA Division II All-American after finishing fourth in the country in scoring, averaging 26.0 ppg.

Luther and his wife, Ginny, reside in Savannah and have two children - a son, Bryson (2), and a daughter, Kendall (2).

Evans Davis begins his fourth season as assistant men's basketball coach at Armstrong Atlantic State University for the 2012-13 season. Davis also served as the head coach of Armstrong's men's cross country team for the 2009-10 season.

A former standout at Mercer University, Evans joined Armstrong after serving three seasons as a member of Matt Kilcullen's men's basketball staff at the University of North Florida. He was elevated to the top assistant spot in 2008-09, where he helped the Ospreys to their best record in Division I competition.

In his playing days, Davis played for two seasons at Truett McConnell in Cleveland, Ga., then transferred to Mercer, where he averaged 10.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in two years for the Bears. He began his collegiate coaching career at Mercer as a graduate assistant for the women's program, then went to Truett McConnell and spent five years as both an assistant and as the head men's basketball coach there before joining the University of North Florida coaching staff in 2006.

Evans earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Mercer in 2000.
