Gerald Oliver

Oliver joined the Marquette staff as an assistant coach to Hank Raymonds in 1977. Raymonds had selected Oliver based on his varied experience and unique educational motivation program.

Oliver arrived at Marquette after being on the Jacksonville University coaching staff. Prior to that, he spent one year in the ABA, eight years at the University of Tennessee, and one year at Carson Newman College. He also coached six years at the high school level.

As a collegian, Oliver earned three varsity basketball letters at Carson-Newman and captained the team as a senior, when they won the conference title. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Carson-Newman and a master's degree in math from the University of Tennessee.

A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Oliver was a frequent clinic speaker on coaching techniques and educational motivation.

Since Marquette, Oliver has been a head or assistant coach in many professional leagues, including the NBA.
