    Men's Basketball Coach
Reynolds began coaching in 1964 at Ballard Hudson Senior High School. He quickly developed a powerhouse program and led his team to the 1968 Georgia High School State Basketball Championship. His success caught the eye of A&T football coach Hornsby Howell and men's basketball coach Cal Irvin. They not only recruited Reynolds' players to A&T, but they also recruited him. Reynolds became an assistant coach under Irvin in 1970. 
 
Two years later, he would succeed the legendary coach as the university transitioned to the MEAC. Reynolds coached the Aggies from 1972-77, leading the program to its first-ever MEAC tournament title. The Aggies would go on to win two more conference tournament titles. He also won two regular-season crowns. Among his first, he was also the first A&T coach to earn an invitation to the National Invitational Tournament played in Madison Square Garden. 
Coach in 1970 and selected head
 
Reynolds became instrumental in moving the Aggies home games to the Greensboro Coliseum as the program started to outgrow Moore Gymnasium. It eventually led to the building of Corbett Sports Center in 1978. 
 
Legendary players James Sparrow, James Outlaw, Sinclair Colbert, Raymond Perry, L.J. Pipkin and Steve Cassell played under Reynolds.

 Long after retiring, Reynolds continued to help others and his community. He kept a basketball hoop in front of his house as a safe place for kids to play. He received his undergraduate degree at Tuskegee and his master's degree in education from N.C. A&T. A member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated, Reynolds belongs to other Halls, including Tuskegee and the City of Dothan Wiregrass.
