Teichmann, 28, began teaching and coaching at Jackson Christian in 2017.
He served as the head coach of the boys middle school program and as an assistant for the boys team.
A native of Brentwood, Teichmann graduated from Freed-Hardeman University in 2014.
At FHU, he was named the TranSouth Conference Freshman of the Year after averaging 12.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Teichmann, who teach high school economics and mathematics, said one of his first duties is to evaluate the talent Jackson Christian will put on the floor for the 2019-2020 season.
