The Advancement of Blacks in Sports (ABIS), a newly formed non-profit organization with a mission to connect and inspire people to boldly advocate for racial, social, and economic justice for Blacks in sports, has been established to foster a culture of equity and inclusion in all aspects of sports.

Georgia State men’s basketball head coach Rob Lanier, who is entering his second season at the helm of the Panthers, will serve on the Executive Committee and as chair of a subcommittee. Lanier came to GSU following a very successful stint as the associate head coach at Tennessee with coaching experience in the Big 12, SEC, ACC, Big East, Atlantic 10 and MAAC. He has worked on the bench for 11 teams that advanced to NCAA Tournament play.
