Tallahassee Community College men’s basketball has its guy.

On Thursday, the program announced that Corey Hendren to be the next head coach of the Eagles.

Hendren’s arrival fills the TCC men’s basketball head coach vacancy after Rick Cabrera to take the same role at NCAA Division I Northwestern State in Louisiana following last season.

“First, I want to thank (TCC director of athletics) Chuck Moore, Dr. (Sheri) Rowland, and Dr. (Jim) Murdaugh for the opportunity to lead this program,” Hendren said in a released statement. “My wife Caroline and I are very excited about coming down to Tallahassee and keeping the winning culture that Coach Cabrera left in place.

“We want to continue building off of that and we hope to have many successful years ahead like this past season.”

The Eagles finished last season with a 31-6 record, a Panhandle Conference title, and a Final Four run in March’s NJCAA Division I National Tournament.

TCC’s season was immediately followed by a nationwide search to replace the departing Cabrera.

“After an extensive and thorough nationwide search, Corey repeatedly proved that he has all the qualities that myself and the committee were looking for in our next head coach,” Moore said. “He has been a part of numerous winning programs where he had a significant impact on not only the recruitment of top players but also game preparations and day-to-day operations within the programs.

“I have known Corey for years and he is a man of high integrity and loyalty, and he has a desire to compete at the highest level, which are traits I look for in every staff member and coach.”
