Tallulah Falls School has named Greg Neeley its new athletic director. He will transition into the role to coincide with the upcoming retirement of current athletic director Scott Neal at the end of the 2024-25 school year.
Neeley has been the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Piedmont University since 2013 and is the program’s all-time winningest coach in the NCAA era, posting seven winning seasons in his time over the Lions.
Prior to Piedmont, Neeley coached at Warren Wilson College (NC), winning a USCAA National Championship. Before that, he coached at Ancilla College in Indiana. He obtained his BS in Business Administration from Ohio Northern University and his MBA from Piedmont in 2009.
His experience in the athletic arena includes roles as a head coach, assistant coach, and sports information director. Within those roles, he oversaw hiring of coaches, planning team travel, managing home events, increasing alumni support, and overseeing marketing efforts and budgets in athletics.
Neeley’s experience in athletics also reaches into the classroom. He has taught athletic administration at the college level for nearly a decade to students who aspire to be in administrative roles in the athletic realm. Furthermore, he has served on NCAA committees and has been a two-time chair of the USA South basketball coaches group.
“We are thrilled to have Greg as our new athletic director at Tallulah Falls,” says President and Head of School Dr. Larry A. Peevy. “He and his family are a fantastic addition to the TFS community. We feel fortunate to have someone with such high character, coupled with an expansive background in athletics, take on the task of championing our athletic programs.”
“Thank you to Dr. Peevy and the search committee for entrusting me with this opportunity,” states Neeley. “I have great respect for what Scott Neal has done in this role, and I am ready to build on the exciting things that are already happening at TFS. I look forward to working with the students, coaches, and entire campus community.”
