Special Advisor for Basketball Strategies

Former South Carolina head basketball coach Dave Odom will serve in a consulting role with the Southern Conference as Special Advisor for Basketball Strategies.

Odom retired from coaching in 2008 will work with Commissioner John Iamarino, league basketball coaches and administrators to address matters such as non-conference scheduling, participation in exempt tournaments, the operation of the conference tournament and institutional recruiting efforts.

"I am excited that the Southern Conference and Commissioner Iamarino have given me the opportunity to work with the member institutions to enhance basketball within the league and help raise the profile nationally," said Odom.
