Coach Cox Memorial Scholarship

The purpose of the Coach Cox Memorial Scholarship is to honor the memory of legendary Coach Gerald Cox and his service to the Men’s Basketball program by supporting Men’s Basketball student-athletes who embody what he tried to instill in the young men he coached.

Cox was a Men’s Basketball Coach, Director of Athletics, and Physical Education Instructor at the College of Coastal Georgia. In each of these roles, Cox had a lasting and positive impact on the lives of hundreds of students and student-athletes. At his retirement in 2014, the College named Cox “Men’s Basketball Head Coach Emeritus” in recognition of his contributions to the College and community. In 2020, Coastal Georgia named the court in Howard Coffin Gym the Coach Cox Court in his honor. Cox passed away on July 12, 2020.
