Spring Hill College Athletics

In 1984, Darin Tang joined a group of new recruits brought in by then Men’s Basketball Coach Drayton Miller to help revitalize the Spring Hill College program. The 6-6 Oak Park, Illinois native had a swift effect on the hardwood helping the program to their first winning season and district tournament appearance in almost a decade. Known as a dependable scorer and rebounder throughout his career, Tang earned All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference honors three times and was recognized as All-District in 1987-88.  A four-year starter, Darin’s senior season saw the 1987-88 team set a then school record of 27 wins. Tang finished his career with 1,901 points, a career scoring average of 16 points and 5 rebounds per game, shooting a career average of 54% from the field and 81% from the free throw line. Tang and fellow SHC Hall of Fame member Chris Nelson still hold the school record with 146 career games played.
