Everett joined the Tennessee State staff after spending the 2007-08 season as the director of basketball operations at his alma mater, South Carolina, under head coach Dave Odom. In addition to his duties with the Gamecocks, he also served as a mentor to several student-athletes such as All-SEC point guard Devan Downey and All-SEC forwards Dominique Archie and Mike Holmes.
While at South Carolina, Everett served as an assistant coach for the American Team of the 2008 DiGiorno College All-Star Game presented by the NABC at the 2008 NCAA Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.
