6/22/00 - According to several newspapers in the Southeast, Mississippi State has hired Georgia State University Associate Head Basketball Coach Phil Cunningham as its newest assistant basketball coach. Phil, who is a 10-year college coaching veteran, is no stranger to Mississippi State, serving as a graduate assistant coach at MSU during the 1991-92 season. After his one year stint at MSU, Phil took over the head coaching position at Sue Bennett College (London, KY.), a former two-year junior college that was entering its first year of four-year college status when it hired Phil. While at SBC, Phil's teams won 48 games and finished in the NAIA's top 10 in scoring and field goal percentage. He also showed his dedication to academics as evidenced by the fact that all 10 players that completed their eligibility under his three-year stay (1992-95) at SBC graduated. Phil left SBC to work for well-known basketball coach Lefty Driesell at James Madison University (1995-97). When Lefty took the job at Georgia State, Phil was the first coach Lefty hired. He has worked there for the past three years (1997-2000).

6/08/00 As most of you know by now, senior-to-be Dwayne Mitchell (6-2), from New Orleans (John F. Kennedy) LA, has verbally committed to play basketball at MSU beginning in the year 2001. I knew absolutely nothing about him when I first read that he had committed to State. Since then, I have checked around and found that Hoop Scoop has him ranked in their top-60, nationally.
