Overview
- The University of the Pacific announced Friday that Reed Peters died Thursday after an illness, though the school has not released a specific cause of death.
- Athletic director Adam Tschuor offered a public statement naming Peters’s survivors and praising his impact on players and the Stockton community.
- Peters engineered a quick turnaround in two seasons at Pacific, delivering back-to-back 20-win campaigns and a 24-win season that included the program’s recent WCC tournament appearance and victory.
- Before Pacific, Peters spent 17 years building San Joaquin Delta College into a regional power with six state championship appearances and two state titles in 2011 and 2018.
- No succession plan or funeral arrangements have been announced, leaving questions about immediate leadership, recruiting continuity, and how the program will preserve the culture Peters established.
