2025 - Southwestern Illinois College

Creating a Legacy – Athletics’ Department

On January 20th, Men’s Basketball Coach Jay Harrington led to his players to victory against Jefferson College. Not only was this a huge success for the team, but the game marked Coach Harrington’s 1000th collegiate win!

When it comes to junior college basketball, Jay Harrington is a well-known name. Whether it be for his Sports Hall of Fame inductions or his impeccable winning streak, the coach has it all. And during his 50-year long career, he has coached over 750 players.

But his dedication and commitment to the game is not solely shown through his accolades; rather it is shown through the lasting connections he has made with his players throughout the years. “Honestly, I have cared about every kid. So many of them have become like family. I feel like investing in them personally, beyond the game, goes a long way.” said Harrington when asked about the success of his players. He wants them to be the best versions of themselves, so that they are prepared for their future after SWIC.

Thank you, Coach Jay Harrington, for all that you do not just for team, but for SWIC as a whole.
