Coach Hill enters his 16th season coaching Jesuit Dallas Basketball and has continued the strong tradition of Ranger success on the hardwood.
Last season, Jesuit Dallas earned the 14th playoff appearance in Hill’s 15 seasons, closing out the 2022-23 campaign with a 19-13 record alongside a 10-6 mark in district play. Caleb Steger ’25 was named the District Newcomer of the Year following a stellar debut season for the Blue and Gold while seniors Dylan Gibbons ’23 and Tai Kryger ’23 were named to the all-district first team.Â
Hill led the Rangers to their first regional tournament appearance in program history in 2017. The following season, Jesuit upset state-ranked No. 9 Spring Dekaney to earn the program’s first regional championship berth in 2018 before returning to the regional final in 2021.Â
Under Hill’s tenure, Jesuit has captured three district championships, earning the first district crown in 2010 before repeating the feat in 2014 and 2019. Hill enters the 2023-24 season with a 323-155 record as the head coach at Jesuit and a .726 winning percentage against district opponents. Hill captured his 200th career coaching victory on November 24, 2017 when Jesuit Dallas defeated Lee (Ala.) H.S., 68-60, and then earned his 300th career victory on January 25, 2022 when Jesuit Dallas defeated J.J. Pearce in overtime, 51-48 at Walsh Gym.
Coach Hill graduated from Trinity University in 2002. A four-year member of a Tigers’ basketball program, Hill helped capture the Southern College Athletic Conference (SCAC) title in 2000. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in communications, Hill began his professional career at the University of Dallas as the assistant men’s basketball coach, head women’s basketball coach, head men’s and women’s tennis coach, and assistant women’s lacrosse coach. After three years with the Crusaders’ athletic department, Hill returned to Trinity. From 2005-08, Hill helped the Tigers to a pair of NCAA Division III Tournament appearances before beginning his stint at Jesuit Dallas.
A graduate from Tom C. Clark High School, Hill and the Cougars reached the UIL 5A Regional Semifinal his senior year. During his post-graduate year, Hill played at Suffield Academy in Suffield, Connecticut, advancing to the New England Prep League Championship Tournament semifinals.
Coach Hill and his wife, Amy, have been married for 14 years and have three children: 10 year-old Addie, and eight year-old sons, Bo and Joe.
