Head Coach Andy Sharpe begins his fifth year at the helm of the RedHawks basketball program. In just four seasons, Sharpe has helped the RedHawks basketball team re-emerge onto the national stage, highlighted by two National Tournament appearances, once in 2007-08, and again during the 2010-11 season in which MMC basketball reached the Fab Four.

During the 2007-08 season the RedHawks compiled a record of 25-8 overall, 15-5 in TranSouth Conference play, and spending 11 consecutive weeks in the NAIA poll with a final ranking of No. 11. The RedHawks spent the last four weeks in the top 12 before peaking at No. 10 nationally and settling into a final ranking of No. 11.The team also secured a No. 12 seed at the National Tournament in Kansas City.

Sharpe then helped his team string together their second straight 20-plus win season with a 22-10 record in 2008-09, followed by an 18-10 mark in 2009-10.

Sharpe's young decorated career was highlighted in 2010-11 by a 34-win season, the most wins among any four year institution in the nation during that time. As a part of the season, Sharpe's squad reached the program's first-ever NAIA Fab Four, and set a new school win record, previously marked at 25 wins. The 34-3 season was driven by a 16-game win streak to start the schedule, as the RedHawks jumped into the national poll in December, and entered the top ten on January 10^th at No. 6. MMC was ranked as high as fifth across the season, and finished at No. 6 in the final poll after nine consecutive weeks in the NAIA's top ten.

In addition, the 2010-11 RedHawks claimed MMC's first TranSouth Regular Season Championship, and went on to hoist the league title on their home court at the TranSouth Conference Championship Final with a 69-66 win on a buzzer beater shot by James Justice. Justice, the TSAC Player and Newcomer of the Year, joined Ree McCrory and Chris Leggett in All-Conference selections, as Sharpe was named TranSouth Coach of the Year, a first time honor. Sharpe coached both Justice and McCrory to NAIA All-American accolades, his third and fourth All-Americans at MMC. Justice became Martin Methodist's first ever First Team nod and McCrory earned Honorable Mention honors during the 2010-2011 season.

Under Coach Sharpe's watch, Martin Methodist has now advanced to the National Tournament twice in his four years in Pulaski and owns a 3-2 record in National Tournament play. The "Fab Four" appearance was the first for the RedHawk program and also for the TranSouth Athletic Conference. During tournament play, Ree McCrory and James Justice were honored on the All-Tournament team while Coach Sharpe was honored as the Don Meyer Award Winner in Houston, Texas at the NCAA Final Four. The award's recipient is recognized as the NAIA National Coach of the Year.
