Triple Crown Staff Spotlight Name: Garland Wilson Job Title: College Basketball Event Consultant Email: garland@triplecrownsports.com 

Hometown: Detroit, MI Family: Son, Caileb Wilson (14) College attended: Jacksonville State 2009/Southern Miss (Masters degree) 2021 

Sports background: Grew up playing basketball and baseball. Proudest moments are all the awards and championships I was able to experience. 

Hobbies: Family, friends, live music, outdoors and anything random or spontaneous. 

Favorite trip: Being from Detroit and moving to Alabama, I always enjoyed the 12-hour road trips to visit family because we would make random stops along the way and do different things. As an adult, I enjoy the perks of travel with college basketball. Basketball has taken me a lot of places that I normally wouldn’t go and those memories and experiences are priceless. 

How did you become associated with Triple Crown?: In 2022 as a member of the Southern Miss men’s basketball coaching staff, playing in the Cancun Challenge. Fun fact, I’m a Cancun Challenge Champion! 

What intrigues you the most about Triple Crown?: The people for sure! When I met Sarah Molina leading up to the 2022 event, she was always so organized and patient with explaining things. I then made it to Cancun and met the rest of the staff and they were just as nice. After the tournament, I stayed in contact with the staff and I would visit them every Final Four to say hello or meet them to hang out. It was always a good time. When I would see them they always looked like they enjoyed each other’s company. On my interview the people were just as nice. I instantly got a family feel with my office visit. Then I learned the company’s values. Those stuck out to me because it is very similar to the way my head coach runs his program, so I instantly felt comfortable.
