Jeremy Currier has served as head men's basketball coach for three seasons at Pfeiffer University and seventh season as a collegiate coach in 2012-13.

In his first season as Pfeiffer head coach, Currier and his top scoring offense in the Conference Carolinas led Pfeiffer to a fifth place finish. The 2010 Falcon team was among the league leaders in three point field goals made, offensive rebounds per game, rebounding margin, team scoring, and free throw percentage. Chris Woods was named Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, and NABC All American while amassing the 2,000 point career point total.

Prior to Pfeiffer University, Currier served as head coach at NCAA Division III Daniel Webster College in Nashua, N.H.

Hired as the youngest men’s head basketball coach in the NCAA in 2007-08, Currier’s recruiting efforts helped net the New Hampshire State Player of the Year and the program went on to post its highest season wins total in 10 seasons.
