Clifford Reed (born April 12, 1965) is an American college basketball coach who is currently associate head coach at Maryland Eastern Shore.
Early life and education
Born in Ormond Beach, Florida, Reed graduated from Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach in 1983 and began his college basketball career at St. Johns Community College, where he played form 1983 to 1985.[1] Reed transferred to Daytona Beach Community College to finish his associate's degree.[2][3] After graduation, Reed served in the United States Army before enrolling at Bethune–Cookman College in 1989 to continue his college basketball career. Reed graduated from Bethune–Cookman in 1991.[2]
Coaching career
Reed's first coaching position was under Horace Broadnax at Bethune–Cookman in the 1991–92 season. The next year, Reed began a two-year stint as junior varsity boys' basketball coach at Mainland High School also in Daytona Beach.[4] Then, from 1994 to 1997, Atlantic High School in Port Orange, Florida, Reed later became an assistant coach (1997 to 2002) again under Broadnax and head coach (2002 to 2011) at Bethune–Cookman.[1][5]
Reed's most successful season at Bethune–Cookman was in 2010–11, with a 21–13 record, MEAC regular season title, and NIT berth. However, Reed was fired on June 28, 2011 for refusing to cooperate with police in the investigation of a rape accusation against his son C. J. Reed, who had played at Bethune–Cookman from 2009 to 2011; the younger Reed was never charged.[6][7] In September that year, Reed sued the school.[7] In late September 2016, Bethune–Cookman proposed an undisclosed settlement with Reed.[8]
In 2012, Reed returned to coaching as an assistant at Georgia Southern under Charlton Young then reunited with Broadnax as an assistant coach at Savannah State for the 2013–14 season. In 2014, Reed joined Bobby Collins's staff at Maryland Eastern Shore.[5]
Personal life
Reed is married to Vera Reed. They have a son, Clifford Jervon "C. J." Reed, who played for his father at Bethune-Cookman from 2009 to 2011 and Georgia Southern from 2012 to 2013.
