There will be plenty of talking going on at Loco's Grill when head coach Jeff Lebo has a sit down with fans and takes live questions from the audience and callers. Baseball head coach John Pawlowski will also be present. Regarded by many as an outstanding basketball coach, Lebo began building his coaching tenure with the Tigers back in 2004. This season, Lebo has lead the Tigers to many victories both at home and away.

The Tigers gear up for home games in the Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. For the past 33 years, the six-million dollar building has been the location of many winning games for the Tigers. In 1997, a ten-million dollar renovation project was begun to add a new playing floor, new sideline seating, a new scoreboard and to build coaches' offices. There have been more than two million fans to attend games at the Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. At first the seating was reduced from 12,500 to 10,108 but was subsequently increased back up to 10,500 in 1998. The largest crowds tallied to 173,249 in the 2000-2001 season. In addition to Lebo handling his business on and off the court, the coaching team includes assistant head coach John Cooper, assistant coach Tim Craft, senior assistant to the head coach Dave Lebo, video coordinator Randall Malone, director of basketball operations Brandon Johnson, assistant coach Bryan Bartley, graduate assistant/manager Trey Strickland and graduate assistant/manager Garret Thorington. And yes, Dave Lebo is father to head coach Jeff Lebo. The elder Lebo has been in the basketball arena for 42 years and is commencing his 11th year working with son Jeff. "Coach Dave", as he is affectionately referred to, will be commencing his fifth season with the Tigers and brings a wealth of experience to the team.
