Panthers Prepare for Future with Perry: Georgia State will move into the Colonial Athletic Association next season with a coach under long-term contract. Head coach Michael Perry replaced legendary coach Lefty Driesell when he retired in January 2003. Perry has led the Panthers to a 44-33 record since then. The school rewarded that success with a four-year contract. With the move from the Atlantic Sun conference to the CAA, Georgia State moves into a more reputable mid-major conference.
