Mississippi Valley State University officially an-nounced Andre Payne as its new head basket-ball coach on July 11, 2014 during a press con-ference at the Science & Technology Center on the MVSU campus.

Payne arrives at MVSU after an eight-year stint as head coach and associate athletic director at Wiley College in Texas where he led the Wildcats to two Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Tournament titles (2007 and 2014). In 2007 dur-ing his first season at the helm, Wiley College qualified for the NAIA Tournament for the first time in 37 years. The Wildcats made another ap-pearance in the NAIA Tournament in 2014.

Payne had an overall record of 146-104 at Wi-ley College, including a 25-7 (13-5 RRAC) record last season. He led the Wildcats to at least 19 wins four times including a 21-10 mark in 2006-07 and 22-10 record in 2007-08.

Overall, Payne boasts a career record of 239-183, ranking him 24th in career wins amongst active NAIA coaches.

Prior to his time at Wiley, he worked as the head coach at Texas College where in 2001 he became the youngest head coach at a four-year institution. Payne previously served as an assis-

tant coach at Texas College since 1999. While at Texas College, he led the school to seven RRAC Tournament appearances.

Payne graduated from Auburn High School in 1993 before attending Alabama A&M where he earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engi-neering technology. He later earned a master’s degree from New Mexico Highlands Univer-sity in Human Performance and Sports. Payne is married to Nikki Payne and they have two sons.
