Coach/Administrator

Jim Seward coached the men's basketball team from 1987-2002 and changed the game while leading the run-n-gun Bronchos to 261 wins in his 15 seasons at the helm.

He coached nine All-Americans (honored 26 times), had nine top-20 teams, eight NCAA Tournament appearances, and coached two national players of the year including Central's only NBA player in fellow Hall of Famer Eddie Robinson.

The Bronchos made the Elite Eight under Seward in 1992 and were Lone Star Conference Champions in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, and 1998, with coach earning LSC Coach of the Year honors four times over that span.
