John CoxHead Coach
Germantown Academy Director of Athletics Tim Ginter has appointed John Cox as the new head coach of the Varsity Boys Basketball team. Cox will also take on the role of associate athletic director.
Cox brings extensive basketball experience to Germantown Academy, most recently spending six years with La Salle University’s men’s basketball program, including three as an assistant coach. During his time with La Salle, he also served as director of basketball operations and director of player development, scouting, and analytics.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, where his father was a professional basketball player, Cox is one of Philadelphia high school basketball’s top scorers. At George Washington Carver High School, he finished with 1,798 career points, averaging 29 points per game as a senior while shooting 52 percent from the field.
Cox continued his basketball career at the University of San Francisco, where he scored 1,540 points over four seasons, ranking ninth in school history. A two-time First Team All-West Coast Conference honoree in 2003-04 and 2004-05, Cox scored 1,066 points during his junior and senior years and was inducted into USF’s Hall of Fame in 2019 alongside his father, former NBA Draft pick John “Chubby” Cox.
Professionally, Cox played from 2005 to 2019 in Europe and South America. While with Medi Bayreuth in Germany, he acted as a mentor to younger American players. He has represented Venezuela internationally, including participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and as the leading scorer at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup.
The Patriots return nine varsity letterwinners from the 2024-25 season under Cox’s leadership.

Make-A-Wish Showcase
Every December, Germantown Academy hosts the annual Make A Wish Basketball Showcase. All proceeds from the tournament benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The Make-A-Wish Foundation seeks to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 39,000 volunteers across the U.S., grant a wish every 34 minutes, on average, somewhere in the country. Since 1986, Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley has fulfilled more than 6,800 transformational wishes for local children with critical illnesses.
The Make A Wish Basketball Showcase is the brainchild of former Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach Jim Fenerty 1760. Coach Fenerty wanted his players, blessed with both athletic gifts and academic opportunities, to have a sense that not everyone is lucky enough to share their good fortune. He selected the Make-A-Wish Foundation as an exemplary organization and his players embraced the concept of helping to make wishes come true for local kids who have been dealt a difficult hand. He then enlisted other high school teams to join the tournament and asked former the Upper School Community Service Organization to organize the logistics.
