Jonesboro, AR – JonesboroRightNow.com – Arkansas State men’s basketball assistant coach Jordan Fair has been selected as one of 68 attendees for the Silver Waves Media NXT Up Rising Stars Power Lunch, scheduled for April 2 at the Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis, Indiana.

All assistant coaches attending the event have distinguished themselves as rising stars in college basketball. Fair is one of two Sun Belt assistants in a group that includes representatives from all NCAA divisions, the NBA, and the high school ranks.

In his first season on staff, A-State became one of two teams in the nation to win 20-plus games despite fielding no returners from the year prior. The Red Wolves posted a 20-12 (11-7 SBC) record in 2025-26, becoming one of 52 programs to win 20 or more games in three consecutive seasons.

Fair served as the head coach at Oldsmar Christian High School prior to his arrival in Jonesboro, posting a 185-60 record over two stints from 2012-16 and 2020-24. He was named the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association (SIAA) Coach of the Year in 2015 and 2021, and produced 26 Division I signees.
