Teverster Anderson enters his fifth year at Jackson State. Anderson was named head coach of the men's basketball program in the Spring of 2003, becoming the program's sixth head coach since 1949.

In four seasons he has compiled a 63-65 record at JSU. The Tigers have shown consistent improvement during Anderson's tenure and captured the 2007 Southwestern Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament Championship, the program's first since Andy Stoglin's Tigers won in 2000. Under Anderson's guidance the Tigers received the SWACs birth to the 2007 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and put up a good fight against the eventual back-to-back champion Florida Gators.

Anderson came to Jackson State from Murray State where he spent five seasons at the helm of the Racers' basketball program. During his tenure he accrued an overall record of 103-52 with two Ohio Valley Conference titles and two appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Canton, Mississippi native graduated from Canton High School before attending Arkansas AM&N University. He received a bachelor's degree in pre-medicine from Arkansas AM&N in 1962. He earned a master of science in biological science from North Carolina A&T State University in 1971.

Anderson got his start in coaching at Canton High School where he served as head basketball coach and biology teacher. At Canton from 1962-1971, he had an overall record of 416-98. He later had two stints in the Georgia Public School system before landing a job at Auburn University in 1982.

While at Auburn, the program enjoyed a Sweet Sixteen finish in 1985 and an Elite Eight finish in 1986. He spent four seasons under Auburn coach Sonny Smith before moving to another institution in the Southeastern Conference, the University of Georgia.

From 1987-1995 Anderson served as associate head coach and chief recruiter for the Bulldogs. During that time, Georgia earned six postseason tournament appearances, including three NCAA berths.

In 1995 he was named associate head basketball coach at Murray State University. Again he served as the chief recruiter on a team that slowly became one of the more recognizable mid-major programs in the nation.

The team earned two NCAA berths and one trip to the NIT postseason tournament. After three seasons as associate head coach, Anderson was named head coach of the Racer basketball program in 1998. He averaged 20 wins in five seasons at Murray State including two Ohio Valley regular season titles, two OVC championships and two appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

He has coached several players who had careers in the National Basketball Association, including Charles Barkley (Auburn) and Church Person (Auburn).
