Episode 28 of the Chi State Pod features Chicago State head men’s basketball coach Gerald Gillion. Hired on July 19, Gillion joins Chicago State from Samford University, where he served as an assistant coach. 

A South Florida native, Gillion also has spent time coaching at Team Breakdown, a top-10 ranked AAU team, the University of South Florida and Northeast High School. 

Now, Gillion comes to Chicago State, aiming to inject the program with a “hard hat, lunch pail” mentality. 

In his Chi State Pod debut, Gillion discusses:

• The style he hopes to bring to the Cougars
• The journey to his first college head coaching gig

• Much more
