Jimmy Hall is entering his first season on the Canisius men's basketball coaching staff.
Hall joins Christian’s coaching staff after an eight-year professional career overseas that saw him play professionally in Israel, Kosovo, Mexico and France. A four-year letterwinner at Kent State from 2013-17, Hall was a three-time All-MAC First-Team selection, where he scored more than 1,600 career points and grabbed 900-plus rebounds for the Golden Flashes. Professionally, he earned Eurobasket All-League honors on multiple occasions, was part of a championship team in Israel and helped Hapoel Afula earn promotion to Israel’s First Division.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Hall played his scholastic ball at the famed St. Anthony’s High School in Jersey City, N.J., where he was coached by Hall of Fame head coach Bob Hurley Sr. As a junior at St. Anthony’s, he averaged 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per game to help the Friars to an undefeated 33-0 record, New Jersey Tournament of Champions title and No. 1 national ranking in both the USA Today Super 25 and ESPN Powerade Fab 50 polls.
