Terry returned to his alma mater to begin his coaching career as an assistant men’s basketball coach in November of 2018. He is responsible for assisting with the day-to-day and gameday preparations for the program and brings an alumni’s perspective to the current squad.
CLAYTON STATE (2018-PRESENT)
During the 2018-19 campaign Terry would be part of a program that would open the season with a No. 20 Division II Bulletin Preseason Ranking and Preseason All-American Honorable Mention honors for Jaylen Taylor from that same organization.
While the club would finish with a 10-18 overall record, it would also see a program record three PBC Player of the Week honors as Aubrey McRae claimed a pair and Kyle Kincey earned his first to close the season.
COLLEGIATE PLAYING EXPERIENCE
CLAYTON STATE (2014-16)
One of the most prolific three-point shooters in program history, Terry played for the Lakers from 2014-16. During that time he averaged 12.4 points, 1.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game.
His 137 career triples currently rank second all-time behind Michael Sloan’s 190 (set over the course of four years from 2004-08) and he holds marks for the third and fourth most in a single season in program history. In 2014-15 he drained 69 in 26 games, all but three of which were off the bench, and followed with 68 in 2015-16.
Additionally, he twice nailed seven threes in a single game, which remains tied for the most by a Laker. He knocked down seven against North Georgia on January 10, 2015 and again vs. Georgia College on February 18, 2015 and now coaches a player that tied his record last season in Aubrey McRae.
He also went a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc against Belmont Abbey on November 22, 2014, a mark that McRae also tied in 2017-18 as the highest single game three-point percentage in program history.
After averaging 10.5 points, 1.4 assists and 2.1 boards in 2014-15, Terry finished his career with another impressive season in 2015-16. That year he started all 26 games and averaged 14.2 points with 1.2 steals, 1.4 assists and 2.6 caroms.
ATLANTA METRO COLLEGE (2012-14)
Terry began his career with a pair of stellar campaigns at neighboring Atlanta Metro College at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) level.
As a freshman in 2012-13 he averaged 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists while starting 25 of the 27 games he appeared in. After reaching double-figures in scoring 22 times that season he did so 26 times in 2013-14, averaging 20.2 points, 3.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals. That season he earned all GCAA First-Team honors and surpassed the 1,000-point plateau for his career.
