Gil Jackson is in his fourth season as Head Men's Basketball Coach at Howard. Prior to Howard, Jackson served as an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania for 16 years.

Under his tutelage, several Bison received All-MEAC honors including Eugene Myatt, who was named to the 2006-07 All-MEAC Second Team and Adam Walker, who earned All-MEAC Rookie honors in 2007-08.

During his tenure at UPenn, the Quakers won nine Ivy League championships and earned nine berths to the NCAA tournament.

Jackson's coaching career started at Sanford High School in Hockessin, DE. He then moved on to Penn for a 16-year tenure with Fran Dunphy as his assistant coach at one of the most successful programs during that time period.

Jackson emphasizes a simple philosophy of full-court pressure with strong play on the defensive end. "My goal is for us to be able to compete every game," said Jackson. "We're going to be tough on the defensive end of the floor and we're going to be in great condition. This will enable us to be a strong transition team." He is a strong believer in academic accountability for his players.

He is a 1969 graduate of Elizabethtown College.
