Georgia Tech assistant coach Terry Parker leaves program
Georgia Tech men’s basketball announced Saturday that assistant coach Terry Parker Jr. no longer is with the program.
“I have no clue (why). It was a personal matter with TP,” Stoudamire said Saturday after Tech defeated Penn State at Madison Square Garden. “B.J. Elder’s moved up, and we’ll just move from there. If TP talks on it, he’ll talk on it, but it’s not my place to. We moved B.J. in, and B.J. has been elevated, and he’ll be there the rest of this year.”
Elder was the associate director of player personnel.
Parker was hired in April after three seasons at Alabama-Birmingham. The Redan High and Louisiana Tech graduate signed a contract that was to expire April 25, 2025. Parker is making an annual salary of $300,000.
“It’s just great to have the opportunity to be at Georgia Tech and help restore this program back to its rightful place in ACC basketball,” Parker told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in June.
“(Parker) has had to cut his teeth and work his way up,” Stoudamire said in a statement when announcing his staff in May. “He’s unassuming in his ways, but he’s well respected in coaching circles. In talking with people, everything I’ve heard is positive. He exudes everything I look for in a coach, on and off the court. Relationships are powerful in this business, and he has them. I really look forward to being around him and watching him ascend in this profession.”
