Jeremy Cox, who led Arkansas-Fort Smith to the national junior college basketball championship last season, was named an assistant at Texas A&M.

Cox was named the NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year after leading Arkansas-Fort Smith to a 33-8 record. He fills one of two vacancies on A&M coach Billy Gillispie’s staff after the departures of Buzz Williams and Steve Forbes.

Cox, who was also an assistant at Wyoming (1991-92) and UT-San Antonio (1993-97), was 84-17 at Arkansas-Forth Smith, including three consecutive 20-win seasons. He was previously the head coach at Garden City (Kan.) Community College where he was 93-36 over four years.

There are some big shoes to fill but looks like Cox could be the man.
