Men's Basketball Coaching Staff

Jeff Justus

Head Coach Jeff Justus

Jeff Justus starts his seventh season as head coach of the Earlham College men’s basketball team. Arriving in 1998, Justus brought a decade of coaching experience to the Quaker program. He served as an assistant for two successful NCAA Division III men’s basketball programs in Indiana. From 1992-98, Justus was a member of coach Bill Fenlon’s staff at DePauw University in Greencastle. His coaching career began in 1987 as an assistant for Earlham College Hall-of-Famer John Mutchner at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, where he remained until 1991.

Justus was senior captain and a four-year letterman in men’s basketball at Rose-Hulman. He was on two teams that won 20 games, while playing on three conference championship squads. During his time with the Engineers, they earned two national tournament berths, and advanced to the 1977 NCAA Division III quarterfinals.

The 49-year old native of Portsmouth, Ohio, has an outstanding background in academics as well. A 1978 honors graduate of Rose-Hulman with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering, he was a member of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society and the Blue Key Honorary.

Before pursuing a coaching career, Justus attended medical school where he earned a Doctor of Osteopathy degree from The Ohio State University. He has continued to work in the medical field as an emergency room physician and was appointed DePauw’s director of student health services for the 1997-98 academic year.

His first love, however, is coaching and he continues a family legacy as the son of 33-year coaching legend Arch Justus, who is a member of both the Ohio and Naismith High School halls of fame.
