| The 2022-23 season was a historic one in many ways for Hawk Basketball. Crafton’s squad finished 18-13, leading to the program’s best win percentage (.581) in 50 years and the most wins in a season of Crafton’s coaching career. The team broke last season’s school records in steals (345) and steals-per-game (11.1). Their per-game clip ranked #1 in the nation this season, while the team also ranked #1 nationally in turnovers forced per contest (19.0). Crafton guided the Hawks to a 10-3 record at William P. Hytche Athletic Center, the best home mark for the program since the 1973-74 season. The team also logged significant non-conference wins at Temple on December 20 and Columbia on December 28. The Hawks finished the first half of MEAC play at 6-1, the best Division I record to open league play in 50 years. Under Crafton, forward Nathaniel Pollard Jr. was named to the All-MEAC Second Team and guard Zion Styles received All-MEAC Third Team and All-Defensive Team honors. Pollard was also named to the 2023 HBCU All-Star Game in Houston, Texas. Crafton was named a finalist for the Ben Jobe Coach of the Year award, recognizing the top Division I minority coach annually.<ref>https://easternshorehawks.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/jason-crafton/1348</ref> | The 2022-23 season was a historic one in many ways for Hawk Basketball.
