This season was James N. Ashmore's first year as the head coach for this University.[2] During this time, the team was nicknamed the "White Phantoms," a name that originated in Atlanta by a sportswriter.[3] This team started off their season by playing 5 games against YMCA teams as a way to prepare themselves for the league games.[4] Bunn Hackney was a captain of this team and was named to the All-Southern Conference tournament first-team in 1926 and All-Southern Conference second-team in 1927.[2]
