Honoring Coach Gary Elliott

A Legacy That Defines Excellence

Today marks a proud moment for the University of North Alabama and the entire Shoals community — the official naming of the Coach Gary Elliott Court inside the CB&S Bank Arena.

A national champion and Hall of Fame head coach, Coach Elliott’s name is synonymous with leadership, excellence, and an enduring impact on generations of student-athletes. The resolution to name the court in his honor recognizes not only his championship success but also his lifelong commitment to developing players who represent the best of North Alabama basketball — both on and off the court.

We’re especially proud to share this moment, as Coach Gary Elliott is the father of our very own Sean Elliott — making this recognition even more meaningful to everyone at Nelson Service Group.

This dedication reflects the same core values that make our community strong: hard work, respect, and pride in every achievement.

Congratulations, Coach Elliott — your legacy will continue to inspire the next generation of Lions for years to come.
