The Demon Deacons reached the NCAA Tournament in 2017 and had a pair of NBA players in Jaylen Hoard and John Collins as well as All-ACC selection Olivier Sarr. At Wake Forest under Horn's watch, the Demon Deacons were on the forefront of some of the newest technology and training techniques.

Horn also played a role in fundraising efforts for a new basketball performance facility and revamped sport science and analytics department. At Tulsa, Horn served as the Director of Athletics Performance, overseeing men's basketball and softball while assisting with football.
