Landers, the son of legendary Georgia's women's basketball coach Andy Landers, joins the Upstate program from Mercer University where he has been the director of player personnel for women's basketball since 2018.
There, he was in charge of team operations that included travel, lodging, and meals as well as scouting, planning summer camps, managing the team budget, and devising team practice schedules and itineraries. He also acted as the liaison for compliance.
Prior to Mercer, Landers was the director of women's basketball operations at the University of Mississippi in 2017-18. In addition to the same responsibilities he had at Mercer, Landers also recruited practice players and mentored support staff, student managers, and student-athletes during his time at Ole Miss. In 2016-17, he was the women's basketball video coordinator at the University of Virginia after interning with Georgia's men's and women's basketball programs in 2014-15 where he assisted with film, scouting reports, and playbooks.
Additionally, Landers has worked with the Southeastern Conference in the past, volunteering at football media days and men's and women's basketball tournaments. He received his bachelor's in business administration from Ole Miss in 2013.
