Quinn resigns as Head Basketball Coach at Southern Arkansas – HoopDirt
The Southern Arkansas Athletic Department has announced that Logan Quinn is set to depart his post as the Mulerider Men’s Head Basketball Coach for his next opportunity in the National Basketball Association.
“We appreciate Coach Quinn’s leadership of our basketball program as well as our Muleriders in Magnolia community service initiative,” states Southern Arkansas University Director of Athletics Steve Browning. “We wish him, Bella and Brooks nothing but the best with their new adventures!”
Quinn, a native of Los Angeles, California, coached for three seasons as the program’s top assistant while serving the 2021-22 campaign as associate head coach under longtime program builder Andy Sharpe. Starting in the 2022-23 season, Quinn was named the Men’s Basketball Head Coach at Southern Arkansas.
The two-year head coach for the Muleriders aided in the production of many names that are held in high-regard such as Devante and Jalen Brooks, Aaron Lucas, Gregory Hammond Jr., and Carel Ray Jr.
The historic first-year of coach Quinn included an NCAA Era single-season program record for wins with 22; the most by a first-year Mulerider head coach and the most overall since the 1989-90 season, an NCAA Era single-season program record for conference wins with 15 and the program’s highest regular season Great American Conference finish at tied for second. Nationally, the Muleriders finished in the top 40 in the country in offensive rebounds per game (12.62; 26th), rebound margin (4.7; 33rd), three-point attempts per game (25.8; 39th) and three point makes per game (9.3; 40th).
“The last five years have been such an incredible time for myself and my family,” states Quinn. “Bella and I got married, and a week later we were starting this journey in Magnolia at SAU, so we have grown up as a couple here. We will always remember that our son was born here. Being the assistant coach, associate head coach, and the head coach of the Mulerider Basketball Program has been a complete joy – every single day. The cutting down of the nets, huge road wins, and NCAA tournaments are accomplishments that we all did together. Being able to watch our players grow and become better players, but also better people, has been the best part about our time here. Thank you to Coach Browning for his belief in me as the leader of the program, but also, thank you to each person that has had a hand in the success of our players and program – this is truly a special place. This has been, and always will be, a player’s first program and it is time for the next head coach to continue to take OUR program to the next level. Thank you, Mulerider Country!”
As the Muleriders’ head coach, Quinn finished with a 33-28 record, two GAC tournament appearances, one GAC tournament championship, and one appearance in the NCAA DII national tournament.

Here’s a recent college basketball story via the Associated Press:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Trevon Brazile scored a career-high 26 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field to lead No. 14 Arkansas to a 108-80 victory over Queens on Tuesday night.
Arkansas (9-2) was never in trouble, taking a 24-point lead into halftime behind 60% shooting from the floor. Brazile had 18 points in the opening 20 minutes. Darius Acuff Jr., who finished with 23 points and 10 assists, scored 16 in the first half.
Brazile went 5 for 7 from 3-point range and Arkansas was 14 of 28 compared to 6 for 25 for the Royals (5-7). The Razorbacks also outscored Queens 32-14 on fast-break points.
Atlantic Sun preseason player of the year Chris Ashby entered averaging 13 points per game but was limited to just two on 1-of-9 shooting, including 0 for 7 from 3-point distance. The Royals were led by Nasir Mann, who had 16 points.
Four other Arkansas players joined Brazile and Acuff in double figures. Billy Richmond III scored 15 points off the bench, Nick Pringle added 14, Karter Knox had 11 and D.J. Wagner provided 10.
The win was Arkansas’ fourth in a row since losing to then-No. 4 Duke on Thanksgiving.
