At Harding

In 2023, Weston Jameson took over as the head coach of the Harding men's basketball team, marking his second tenure with the Bisons after serving as an assistant with the women's team from 2015-20.

As an assistant, he was instrumental in the team's success, contributing to 106 wins, two regular season conference championships, a conference tournament championship, and a memorable run to the 2017 Division II Final Four.

In his first season as head coach (2023-24), Jameson guided the men's team to its highest win total in seven years and their first Great American Conference (GAC) Tournament appearance since 2016-17.

Building on that momentum, the 2024-25 season saw the program reach national prominence as the Bisons captured the GAC Tournament championship and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament.

The 2025-26 campaign cemented the program's championship culture. Jameson led Harding to a 24-8 overall record—the program's highest win total since 2010-11—and set a school record with an 11-game winning streak. The Bisons secured their second consecutive GAC Tournament Championship with a 73-68 victory over Southern Nazarene, advancing to their second straight NCAA Tournament and eighth overall. During the season, Jameson also reached his 50th career head coaching victory.

Under his leadership, the Bisons have maintained elite standards in the classroom. In 2025-26, the program earned the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award with a 3.25 team GPA, placed eight student-athletes on the NABC Honors Court, and produced a CSC Academic All-District selection, continuing a strong tradition of academic accolades.
