Jeff Britt, coach of Bethel University’s men’s basketball team reached his 500th career win when the Wildcats defeated the Tennessee Southern FireHawks (Pulaski, Tennessee) 70 to 60 on December 8, 2022. “It’s another win, and I feel fortunate to be able to coach and be around the game this long. Growing up in Sedalia, Kentucky I have loved the game since I was a little boy and I have always cherished playing and coaching. All the praise goes to some wonderful and talented players and coaches who I have been blessed with. I am sincerely grateful to them, the university, and a loving and supportive family,” Britt said.

Bethel University, formerly Bethel College, is a liberal arts institution in McKenzie, Tennessee, associated with the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination. University of Tennessee Southern is the latest addition to the Tennessee family of institutions after the acquisition and rebranding of the former Martin Methodist College in Pulaski, Tennessee, effective July 1, 2021.
