Georgia Southern is retaining one of its rising coaching names, and it’s a familiar one in Tuscaloosa.

Former Alabama assistant Charlie Henry has agreed to a new four-year contract to remain the head coach at Georgia Southern Eagles men's basketball, according to an ESPN report Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Henry, who spent time on Nate Oats’ staff before taking over in Statesboro in March 2023, led the Eagles to a 16-15 overall record this past season, including an 8-10 mark in Sun Belt Conference play.

Georgia Southern made one of the more notable postseason pushes in the country, winning five straight games in the conference tournament before falling to top-seeded Troy Trojans men's basketball, 77-61, in the championship game. The run fell one win short of an automatic NCAA Tournament berth, a feat that would have required six consecutive victories.
