Detroit – State Champs has learned that former high school coach and NBA player Jermaine Jackson has been hired as a men’s assistant basketball coach at the University of Detroit, his alma mater.
Jackson was out of coaching last season and was the head coach of the boys basketball program at Mount Clemens. He guided the Bathers to the Class C quarterfinals in 2014. Some reports had Jackson being fired by school administrators following that season. Jackson denied he was fired saying he resigned instead.
