Mobile, Alabama – Spring Hill College has named John Redman as head coach of its men’s basketball program. A 2013 alumnus, Redman returns with more than a decade of collegiate coaching experience and a strong record of player development.
Redman began his coaching career as a student assistant, serving three seasons on the Badgers’ bench. He has since built more than 13 years of experience coaching at the NJCAA, NCAA and NAIA levels.
“We are excited to welcome Coach Redman back to Spring Hill College,” said Athletic Director Joe Niland. “His connection to the College combined with his success as a coach and mentor makes him an outstanding fit.”
Redman most recently served as the head coach at Northwest Mississippi Community College during the 2025-2026 season, leading the Rangers to an 18-12 record, a 12-game improvement and a spot in the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament.
Prior to that, he spent seven seasons at Delta State University from 2018 to 2025, including time as associate head coach, while earning his master’s degree in sport and human performance. During his tenure, Redman guided the Statesmen to multiple winning seasons, including a Gulf South Conference championship, an NCAA Division II Tournament appearance in 2019 and a Gulf South Conference Tournament final four appearance in 2025.
“I am incredibly honored to return to Spring Hill College as the head men’s basketball coach,” said Redman. “This is a place that shaped who I am, both personally and professionally. I look – more – forward to building a program that reflects the College’s mission, competes at a high level and invests in the growth of our student-athletes.”
Following his time as a student assistant at Spring Hill, Redman helped launch the Dalton State men’s basketball program ahead of the 2013-14 season, leading the team to a 26-4 record in its inaugural year. The program went on to win the Southern States Athletic Conference regular-season championship and the 2015 NAIA national championship.
Redman later returned to Mobile as head boys basketball coach at St. Paul’s Episcopal School before rejoining the collegiate ranks in 2017 as an assistant coach at the University of Mobile.
A native of Spanish Fort, Alabama, Redman has recruited and coached student-athletes from across the Southeast and beyond, with an emphasis on player development, academic success and community engagement. Redman will begin his role immediately, leading recruiting efforts and preparing the Badgers for the upcoming season.
