The 2005-06 Davidson Wildcats

Page 5: 2005-06 Men's Basketball Media Guide

While nothing in the unpredictablesport of college basketball is chiseled ingranite, coach Bob McKillop’s 17thDavidson team has a chance to be extraor-dinarily special, even by Davidson stan-dards. The Wildcats of 2005-06 will be ablend of talented, experienced, battle-test-ed veterans and a group of exuberantyoung players with blue-sky potential.

The team will face many roadblocks,coming in the form of a tough schedule,one so difficult that the Wildcats’ resiliencesurely will be tested. In addition to a lineupof blue-chip non-conference heavyweights,including Duke, North Carolina andSyracuse, Davidson will face its usual arrayof outstanding teams in the highly competi-tive Southern Conference. After compilinga 16-0 league record in the regular seasonlast year, plus winning four straight confer-ence division titles and seven of the last 10,the bull’s-eye on Davidson’s back will beeven larger than usual.

The Wildcats should have the talent,experience, depth and attitude to cope.

The overall record for Davidson couldbe enhanced if a slightly less ambitiousnon-conference schedule were in place, butsuch a ploy would violate McKillop’s phi-losophy. He prefers to play against the bestbecause he wants his team to be thorough-ly tested and exposed before it enters themeat of its tough conference schedule. Bythe time January arrives, McKillop hopesthe non-league competition against someof the nation’s most powerful and athleticbasketball teams will enable him to high-light his team’s strengths, disguise itsweaknesses, while giving his players theconfidence to respond in the fiercely con-tested conference games that they will face,by feeling, “Hey, we’ve been in tough situ-ations like this before. We know what wemust do to respond.”

Of course, there are dangers in playingagainst such a difficult slate. “We have tobe careful that our team doesn’t lose confi-

Season Outlook

Head coach Bob McKillop has seven seniors returningfrom last year’s squad that won two games in the NIT.

dence,” McKillop said. “We’re going to beknocked to the mat at different times,there’s no question about it. However,when it happens, I think our veteran play-ers will lead us in responding positively.Such moments expose us as a team, thegood and the bad. We learn a lot aboutourselves — what we need to work on,where we need to show the most improve-ment. There’s no doubt in my mind thatcompetition like this is excellent prepara-tion for the tough teams we face in ourown conference.”

There are other byproducts of the toughand attractive non-conference games. “Ourplayers work extremely hard,” McKillopsaid. “We reward them by getting them onas many Broadway stages as possible. Theyenjoy testing themselves against the best.Furthermore, we have many devoted fansthat want to see us play games like this.”

Make no mistake, however, that themost important part of Davidson’s seasoninvolves games against its rivals in thecompetitive and underrated SouthernConference. Even though the Wildcatswent through the regular season confer-ence schedule unbeaten last year, theycouldn’t get out of the conference tourna-ment, losing to UNC Greensboro in thesemifinals, 73-68.

Seven returning seniors recall the exhil-aration of going unbeaten in the conferencein the regular season, followed by theheartbreaking loss in the tournament, adefeat that denied them a bid to the NCAATournament.

“Our seven seniors have great experi-ence,” McKillop said. “They have been chal-lenged repeatedly by tough schedules. Theyhave had emotional ups and downs, such asgoing 16-0 in the conference last year butnot making the NCAA tournament.”

Of course last year’s success, whichincluded two road wins in the postseasonNIT, doesn’t guarantee anything for 2005-06. In fact, if the 23 wins of last seasonmake this year’s team complacent in anyway, trouble could be on the horizon forthe Wildcats. Coach McKillop saw nothingin the preseason that would make himbelieve that complacency would be a prob-lem. In fact, he saw just the opposite.

“After the success that we enjoyed lastseason, it would be human nature for theplayers to come back feeling pretty goodabout themselves,” McKillop said. “Manytimes you face false bravado when youhave many players returning after a suc-cessful season. There’s been no sign of thathappening with our team. The players con-tinue to work hard and put the team first.This is a very unselfish group. This couldbe a terrific team, with our youthful exu-berance combined with our seasoned expe-rience. We have many interchangeableparts on the team, because many of ourplayers can play more than one position.”

McKillop still has talking points that hecan make with his team. The Wildcats hadone more turnover than assist last season, a

matter that he wants corrected. The fieldgoal percentage of 43.3 percent from a yearago should improve with this group ofoutstanding shooters. In other words, therewill be no feeling in the Davidson campthat, “We’ve arrived!” There’s work to do,plenty of it.

The Frontcourt

The leader here is Ian Johnson, a 6-9,225-pound senior, who has scored morethan 1,000 points in his role of coming offthe bench during his first three Davidsonseasons. Johnson perplexes opponents notonly with his immense talent but also hisunorthodox offensive style. A lefthander,Johnson specializes in a sweeping halfhook shot that he can get off in the blink ofan eye. And if opponents try to take theshot away, Johnson has no trouble goingwith his right hand. The release on his shotis so quick that it sometimes looks as ifhe’s merely re-directing a teammate’s passinto the basket. He should be one of thehardest frontcourt players in college bas-ketball to defend. In addition to his varietyof moves in the paint, Johnson is an excel-lent three-point shooter at the end ofDavidson’s secondary break.

While playing less than 24 minutes agame last season, Johnson averaged 11.1points, led the team’s regulars with 53 per-cent shooting from the field, made 37 per-cent of his three-point attempts, and animpressive 73.3 percent from the foul line.He averaged 4.6 rebounds a game, a num-ber that he hopes to improve this season.

Johnson came back for his senior seasonstronger, quicker, more agile, andimproved in all of his basketball skill areas.“Ian is our frontcourt anchor,” CoachMcKillop said. “He has always acceptedwhatever role he’s been given. The betterthe competition, the tighter the game, thebetter he seems to play.”

Forward Ian Johnson will start in his senior seasonafter averaging over 11 points a game off the bench.

Seasonas any player on the squad. He’s devel-oped into a leader with the ability to con-trol the pace of the game, fast or slow,depending on the circumstances. Alwaysadept at taking the ball to the basket at theend of a break, Grant has dramaticallyimproved his outside shooting skills. Heled the team from the foul line last seasonby shooting 79.6 percent, and his 178assists also led the Wildcats.

Jason Morton, a 6-2 senior and a trans-fer from Richmond, has outstanding athlet-ic skills and the ability to hurt opponentsfrom the outside with his accuracy andrange. Opponents have to guard him hon-estly because of his quick bursts to the rim.He averaged 10.4 points a game last seasonwhile shooting 42 percent from the fieldand 39.4 percent on his three-pointers. Hegot to the free throw line 70 times last sea-son, a number that should increase thisyear as he feels more comfortable attackingthe basket.

Eric Blancett, a 6-4, 185-pound senior, isdue a dose of good luck. Hindered byinjuries during his Davidson career, he couldgive the Wildcats more depth, scoring andleadership in the backcourt. An outstandingperimeter shooter, Blancett has improved hisability to penetrate the defense. St. Louis ishis home, and with family and friends inattendance he had a terrific game last seasonin Davidson’s impressive win at theUniversity of Missouri.

Jason Richards, a 6-2 sophomore,played in 27 games last season, and sawhis playing time increase as the season pro-gressed. Richards is a point guard withgreat savvy and basketball IQ. He has theknack of knowing where the ball should goand when, and delivers the ball with confi-dence. McKillop did not hesitate to useRichards late in games down the stretchlast season. The experience should makeRichards an important cog in Davidson’sbackcourt this season.

tice what the starters would see in games.That’s not true with this group. The talent,size and depth are there to produce someinteresting and competitive practice ses-sions, a luxury that should make all of thefrontcourt players better.

All of the news from the frontcourt isnot glowing, however. Davidson lost twoexcellent players from last season with thegraduation of Conor Grace and LoganKosmalksi. Kosmalski was last year’s sec-ond leading scorer at 11.2 points a game,and the leading rebounder at 8.5 a game.He started for two years after transferringfrom Baylor. Meanwhile, Grace, a three-year starter, was a defensive stalwart in thepivot, and did the little things that make ateam better: box out on rebounds, screenfor teammates, take charges. Statisticsdon’t come close to defining the value ofGrace’s play.

“We lost two tough and competitiveplayers in Logan and Conor,” McKillopsaid. “They anchored our post defense.They played valuable roles as passers,screeners and rebounders within our sys-tem. We might be able to replace certainthings that we lost from them, but not theirexperience. They were terrific senior lead-ers on a very good team.”

The Backcourt

There are many reasons for CoachMcKillop to be excited about this team’sbackcourt. Break it down. Experience:great. Ball handling: outstanding. Passing:excellent. Shooting: could be sensational.

The leader here is three-year starterBrendan Winters, a 6-5 senior, the SouthernConference Player of the Year last seasonand Davidson’s leading scorer at 16.7points a game. Although he was almostalways the chief defensive target ofDavidson’s opponents, Winters neverthe-less shot 45 percent from the field, a whop-ping 43.4 percent on three-pointers and 74percent from the foul line. He pitched inwith 5.1 rebounds a game. When oppo-nents come out to try to take his three-point shot away, Winters has the skill todrive the ball to the basket and make aplay. He went to the foul line 146 times lastyear, more than any other Davidson player.

Matt McKillop, a 6-1, 180-pound senior,has started for most of three seasons, andhas seen time at the two-guard and thepoint. The son of Davidson’s head coach, hehas uncanny basketball savvy and the pen-chant for hitting the big shot with the gameon the line. McKillop averaged 7.7 points agame last season while hitting 36.6 percentof his 3-point shots. Toughness marksMcKillop’s game. It’s not unusual for him tolook bruised and battered after a game, ashe throws his body around in an effort todraw charges and claim loose balls.

Kenny Grant, a 6-2, 195-pound senior,had a terrific season last year asDavidson’s starting point guard. He’simproved as much in his Davidson career

Johnson will look to two hard-workingsophomores to assist him in the frontcourt.Thomas Sander, 6-8 and 220 pounds,played in 29 games last season as a fresh-man. While he took only 34 shots, he made26 of them for a shooting percentage of76.5. A young man who is not afraid tobang inside, Sander has the potential tobecome an excellent inside scoring threatand a superb rebounder and post defender.

The other frontcourt sophomore is BorisMeno, 6-8 and 220 pounds, who quicklybecame a crowd favorite at Davidson’shome games last season because of his ath-leticism and enthusiastic play. Meno runsthe court like a strong wind crossing theplains, and his transition from defense tooffense is amazing. Any defender wholoafs back on defense against Meno willneed binoculars to see the number on theback of his jersey. Meno played sparinglyin 25 games last season, but it was obviousthat he got more and more comfortable asthe season progressed. He showed enoughin the way of dunks, transition baskets andblocked shots to have the Davidson faith-ful eagerly await his basketball future.

“Thomas and Boris got a taste of experi-ence last year,” McKillop said. “They alsoimproved by competing in practice everyday against Logan (Kosmalski), Conor(Grace), and Ian. The competition they’llface with this year’s frontcourt personnelwill further enhance their development asplayers in our system.”

McKillop is pleased with what he’s seenof his three freshmen in the frontcourt.Andrew Lovedale, 6-8 and 215 pounds,and Stephen Rossiter, 6-7 and 230 pounds,provide toughness and strength, whileMax Paulhus Gosselin, 6-6 and 185pounds, showcases quickness and goodathletic skills.

There have been seasons whenDavidson didn’t have the frontcourt quick-ness, depth and talent to simulate in prac-

Reigning SoCon Player of the Year Brendan Winters will beshooting to lead Davidson to an NCAA Tournament bid.

Outlook

an inside-out team on offense. We willattack first on the inside, and if it’s notthere, we’ll get it outside. That style pro-duces better perimeter shots, improvedshooting, more effective passing, high per-centage shots inside, and should get us tothe foul line.”

Defensively, the Wildcats’ staple will beman-to-man, but McKillop will not hesitateto change defenses depending on the flowand feel of the game. “We might extendour pressure a little bit, maybe take a fewmore risks,” he said. “With a veteran teamlike we have, we should have the excellentcommunication skills needed to changedefenses effectively. Of course, we have toprove it, but the parts are there for this tobe a very good defensive team.”

Leadership and unselfishness should betrademarks of this veteran Davidson team.“It’s exhilarating as a coach to see ourplayers continue to improve and workhard,” McKillop said. “The pressure theyput on each other to improve, as well asthe encouragement they give to their team-mates, is a great thing for me as their coachto observe. These players put the team onthe pedestal, not themselves.”

It’s the kind of thing that the Wildcatshope will keep them playing deep intoMarch. But in this game, nothing is guar-anteed, and surprises are plentiful. It’swhy McKillop keeps this sign on his officedesk, “No Free Lunches.”

The players don’t need to be told whatit means.

“Our success in the NIT was extremelybeneficial,” McKillop said. “We played onthe road in some tough places before largeand enthusiastic crowds. I think our win atSouthwest Missouri State was one of thebest we’ve had here. Their crowd waslarge, knowledgeable, and very supportiveof their team. To win there against a topopponent in those conditions was huge forus. Then we competed very hard in thenext outing at Maryland. The taste of win-ning in the postseason in a national tourna-ment should stick with our returning play-ers and make them hungry for more. Theyknow what it takes to succeed at the high-est level of competition.”

McKillop is also blessed to have almosthis entire coaching staff return intact.Associate head coach Matt Matheny, andassistant coaches Jim Fox and LandryKosmalski all return. Veteran Mike Craft,who coached last season at WesternCarolina, replaces Will Roberson as direc-tor of basketball operations.

“Having these talented coaches on thestaff is much more than an intangible,”McKillop said. “It offers our program a verytangible benefit. The players and I benefitgreatly from their tremendous work.”

Davidson’s Way

Don’t look for Davidson’s style of playto change much, but there could be moreof a good thing if plans come to fruition. IfMcKillop has his way, he’ll have hisWildcats running and attacking more onoffense than ever — and he’s always pre-ferred a fast pace.

“We have the talent and the depth topush the envelope on offense,” McKillopsaid. “All coaches have to be willing toplay their bench if they hope to builddepth, and that could mean that some ofour players will have their minutes cutback to some degree. We’ll continue to be

Chris Clunie, a 6-3, 205-pound senior,provides valuable work in practice thatpushes the starters to get better. “No coachcould ever want a player on his team thatbrings more winning intangibles to the tablethan Chris Clunie,” said Coach McKillop.Playing a similar role is John Falconi, 6-4,205-pound junior. “He’s improved eachyear he’s been in our program and contin-ues to do so,” McKillop said.

Freshman Can Civi, 6-1 and 180pounds, joins the talented group of back-court players. The competition he’ll face inpractice each day should speed the pace ofhis improvement.

Intangibles

The Wildcats went to Italy and Slovenialast August and won four of six gamesagainst professional teams. Under NCAArules, Davidson was allowed to practice for10 days at home prior to making the trip.Once there, the ’Cats played six games in12 days.

“The trip was invaluable to us,” CoachMcKillop said. “The first game over there,it appeared that maybe we had forgottensome of the reasons why we won 23 gameslast year. But the amnesia was cured quick-ly and we got back to doing the things thatcould make this a special team. The chem-istry of the team, which was already excel-lent, reached an all-time high. That shouldbode well for us this season.”

In addition to the European trip, theWildcats earned the right for additionalpractices and games last March when theirexcellent regular-season record earnedthem a berth in the postseason NIT.Davidson advanced deep into the tourna-ment, winning road games at VirginiaCommonwealth and Southwest MissouriState, and building a 17-point lead atMaryland before falling to the Terps in thesecond half.

Guard Jason Morton can provide instant offensewith his excellent range from the perimeter.

When the game is on the line, guard Matt McKillophas proven his ability to hit the big shots.

Scouting Report: The senior southpawhas served as Davidson’s top sixth manduring his first three seasons. NowJohnson is moving into the starting lineupwhere he will be a major player in thefrontcourt. A threat to score from insideand out, Johnson is one of two currentWildcats with more than 1,000 points to hiscredit. He also seems to play his best in thebig games. “With his improved strengthand quickness, Ian will pay dividends forus on defense and on the boards,”McKillop noted.

2004-05: Reprising his role as a terrificscorer off the bench, Johnson ranked fourthin the Southern Conference with a .530field goal percentage, a figure that jumpedto .576 in SoCon games. His accuracyserved the ’Cats well — Davidson went 9-1when he shot at least 60 percent from thefloor. Johnson registered double-figurepoints on 18 occasions, including a double-double against Georgia Southern.Ironically, his season high of 20 points atSt. Joseph’s came in one of his seven starts.Like many of his teammates, Johnsonenjoyed a fine start to the season, scoring16 points and snatching six boards in 36minutes on the floor at Missouri. Hebrought down a career-best five offensiverebounds Furman on Jan. 5, a mark heequaled in the NIT at VCU. At The Citadel,the lefty showed off his stroke from down-town with a career-high four three-point-ers, all of which came in the first half. Withhis 14 points against Southwest MissouriState in the NIT, Johnson surpassed 1,000points for his career. Five times during theseason he led the Wildcats in scoring, andDavidson won four of those contests.

2003-04: Johnson became Davidson’s topoffensive threat off the bench, often takinghis spot on the court to provide immediatepoints for the ’Cats. Johnson put his trade-mark hook shot to use on more than oneoccasion and was able to do some work on

the boards as well. Marked as the team’smost accurate shooter, Johnson connectedon 51.6 percent of his shot attempts. AtGeorgetown, he netted 9-of-12 field goalsfor 20 points. Johnson helped Davidson getits first road win with his nine points andnine rebounds at The Citadel — his fiveboards on the offensive end were a person-al best. Johnson got better down thestretch, leading the team in scoring in bothof the SoCon Tournament contests. In post-season play, Johnson shot a combined 15-of-27 (.556), grabbed 13 rebounds and net-ted 36 points, including a season-high 21against eventual-champion ETSU. The for-ward drained a team-best 83.9 percent ofhis free throws, including his last 12attempts of the year. Davidson’s sixth manaveraged 10.7 ppg and 4.4 rpg.

2002-03: Johnson was part of the fresh-men connection that led Davidson to ashare of the North Division crown.

Scouting Report: Already fifth on theWildcats’ all-time three-point list,McKillop is one of Davidson’s numerouslong-range sharp-shooters. He shoots 40percent from behind the arc for his career,and should have more shooting opportu-nities thanks to improved quickness. Hehas also consistently proven a flair for thedramatic late in games. Experienced at allthree perimeter positions, McKillop is avaluable commodity for the Wildcats.“Matt’s shooting and versatility are impor-tant assets, but his consistent toughness isthe hallmark of his every performance,”Coach McKillop said of his son.

2004-05: If opponents weren’t aware ofhis shooting ability before the season open-er, they were introduced to it quickly.McKillop stroked five treys in eightattempts at Missouri and finished with acareer-high 28 points to lead Davidson toan 84-81 victory. He scored in double fig-ures eight times during the season, withthe ’Cats winning seven of those games. Inearly January, he became a go-to guy withthe game on the line, hitting three-pointerswith under a minute to go against bothAppalachian State and Charleston to putthe Wildcats ahead for good in each game.He then capped each win with perfectappearances at the free throw line follow-ing the trey. An injury at the end ofJanuary kept him off the floor for a couplegames, then slowed him a bit on his return.Yet he still managed to be a factor inDavidson’s victories in the SoConTournament and NIT, draining a pair oftriples in each of the three wins.

2003-04: After spending the majority ofhis freshman minutes behind the three-point arc, McKillop took up a different rolein his second season. As a member of thestarting five, McKillop played the pointguard position for most of 2003-04.Although his role as court general allowedfewer open looks from long range, that

didn’t stop the sharp-shooter from hitting67 three-pointers. McKillop started the sea-son on a positive note, dropping four treysfor a team-high 18 points at Texas Tech inthe Preseason NIT. He dumped in another18 points in Davidson’s win over Iona, hit-ting 5-of-9 field goal attempts. McKillopwas Davidson’s most accurate three-pointshooter, connecting on 43.5 percent fromdeep, good for fourth best in the SouthernConference. Against SoCon-championETSU, McKillop tied a career-high with sixthree-pointers, and at Chattanooga hedrained 5-of-10 from downtown. McKillopscored a season-high 21 points on 5-of-9from beyond the arc against ETSU in thesemifinals of the SoCon Tournament. Hefinished the year averaging 10.2 ppg, scor-ing in double figures 13 times.

2002-03: McKillop saw a lot more time onthe court as a freshman than expected dueto various Wildcat injuries. He took advan-tage of the opportunity, sparking the ’Catson more than one occasion. The guard sawaction in all 27 contests, earning the startingnod in 10 games. The strongest part of hisgame is his smooth three-point shot; he con-nected on 50 three-pointers as a rookie, best-ing the previous single-season three-pointrecord of 49 triples by a rookie set by JasonZimmerman in 1990-91. When taking overfor the injured Peter Anderer, McKillopnailed 25 treys in his 10 starts, scoring indouble digits in half of those games. Hismost effective offensive performancesparked the Wildcats to their first confer-ence road victory. At East Tennessee State,McKillop drilled six three-pointers in thesecond half to lead Davidson with a career-high 24 points. Against Furman, he con-tributed 18 points on 5-of-9 from the field inthe ’Cats’ 65-57 win. McKillop averaged 8.5points, shooting 42 percent from downtownin his first season.

High School: After finishing up a finecareer at Charlotte Catholic by averaging19 points a game in his senior season,McKillop spent a year at postgraduateschool at The Hun School in New Jersey.There he scored 15 points and dished outsix assists per game while shooting 52 per-cent from three-point range. McKillopearned first team all-conference and secondteam Prep A All-State honors, plus wasnamed to all-prep by the Trentonian, TheTrenton Times and Princeton Packet. The lat-ter of those three chose him as the Boy’sBasketball Player of the Year. McKillop wasalso a member of the National HonorSociety and the Spanish Honor Society.

Personal: McKillop is most notably recog-nized as being the coach’s son. He certain-ly is close with head coach Bob McKillop,whom he lists as the person he mostadmires. Matt is the middle child of Boband Cathy McKillop. He has a sisterKerrin, 25, who graduated from Davidsonin 2002. He also has a younger brother,Brendan, who is 17.

But it is his consistentimprovement as a defender that makeshim the most well-rounded player on theWildcat squad. With an insatiable workethic, Winters makes everyone on the teambetter with his presence on the court.“Every year Brendan has added a strengthto his game while eliminating a weakness,”McKillop noted, “and this year will be noexception.”

He ranked third in the league at 16.7points per game, second in three-pointpercentage at 43.4 (13th nationally) andthird in trifectas with 2.78 per contest.Factor in him scoring in double figures inall but one game and his 5.1 reboundingaverage and it adds up to one SouthernConference Player of the Year (Davidson’sfirst since 1970) and Honoable Mention APAll-American. Winters was also one of 11named to the USBWA All-District III team,the only non-ACC player listed. AgainstUMass in his 66th career game, he joinedDavdison’s 1,000-point club and finishedthe season 13th all-time on the scoring listwith 1,385 points.

On the strength of 19 pointsin both of Davidson’s SoCon Tournamentgames, Winters was named to the all-tour-nament squad. And in each of the team’s

NIT games, he led the team in scoringWinters finished the season with a school-record 89 three-pointers.

2003-04: Without a doubt Winters wasDavidson’s player of the year as a sopho-more, leading the Wildcats to their thirdconsecutive share of the division title. Theguard, known primarily for his shootingskills, became one of Davidson’s most ver-satile players in his second season. Winterswas the only Wildcat to be named first-teamall-conference by both the media and coach-es after scoring in double figures in 26straight games during the season. Thestreak was the longest at Davidson since thelate ’80s. Winters averaged 20.3 ppg (sec-ond-best in the league) during the regularconference season, the first-ever McKillop-coached player to average 20 or more pointsper game in the SoCon. Winters’ final regu-lar-season contest produced a season-high30 points on 5-of-10 from three-point land.Virtually unstoppable even againstDavidson’s difficult non-conference oppo-nents, the sharp-shooter hit six treys againsttop-ranked North Carolina early in the sea-son. While increasing his scoring totals,Winters also became valuable to theWildcats on the glass. Against GeorgiaSouthern, he recorded a double-double with24 points and 10 rebounds. Winters tallied20 or more points in 11 contests and was the’Cats’ leading scorer in 18 games, includingthe last seven regular season bouts.Continually a scoring threat from down-town, Winters canned 75 three-pointers, thethird-most in the Southern Conference. Thetwo-year starter led the Wildcats with 17.8ppg and ranked third with 5.1 rpg.

2002-03: Winters’ basketball I.Q., talentand skill level were evident almost as soonas his rookie season began. He started allbut three games after stepping in for theinjured Jouni Eho in the fourth contest ofthe season. Winters averaged 12.4 pointsper game, consistently improving during

the conference season as he contributed14.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest.He scored in double figures in all but fourleague games. Winters led the SoConshooting 51 percent from beyond the arc,and only two Wildcats topped hisrebounding numbers. At one point,Winters put together a week of threegames that included 68 points, 22rebounds, 14 assists, 18-of-31 shootingfrom the field and 10-of-14 from beyondthe arc. Winters dropped in a career-high31 points and pulled down 10 rebounds tolead the Wildcats to a victory over UNCGreensboro. His 18 points and eight boardspropelled Davidson to a win over then-division leader Appalachian State. Hissuperb season earned him a spot on theconference all-freshman team.

High School: At Mullen High School,Winters was a two-time all-conference andall-state player, leading his squad to theColorado state championship as a senior.He averaged 12 points, six rebounds andthree assists per game while shooting 46percent from behind the arc. As a postgrad-uate at Worcester Academy inMassachusetts, Winters helped his team tothe New England Prep School Class Achampionship game. He is one of eightplayers on that squad to play on a DivisionI basketball team.

Scouting Report: Meno showed flashes ofbrilliance last year, and while challenging fora starting position, has the opportunity thisyear to become more consistent with addedplaying time and maturity. Defensively, he iscapable of creating chaos, and his runningand rebounding ability should give himnumerous scoring opportunities in the paint.“Boris gives us some assets that will be valu-able if we hope to take the next step as aprogram,” McKillop stated.

2004-05: Despite averaging just 6.2 min-utes over 25 games, Meno tied for the teamlead in blocks. In consecutive contests, heracked up three blocks against bothAppalachian State and College ofCharleston while playing a combined totalof 23 minutes. His top performance inleague action came against theMountaineers as he collected five ponitsand seven rebounds in 15 minutes on thefloor to go along with those three rejec-

Scouting Report: Despite a very crowdedbackcourt last season, Richards capitalizedon his opportunity for playing time as afreshman. Capable of playing the point aswell as off the ball, he is a shrewd decisionmaker as his assist-to-turnover ratio from aseason ago — nearly two to one — canattest. “Jason has begun to grasp our sys-tem and understand the role he is expectedto play,” commented McKillop.

2004-05: Brought along slowly at theoutset of his freshman campaign, Richardsearned the trust of the coaching staff withhis strong ball-handling skills (turnover-to-assist ratio just under two). He got his feet

wet with considerable time against Maine-Farmington, posting fives across the board— points, rebounds and assists. AtPrinceton, he proved to be a factor by hit-ting both his shots and scoring five pointswith two boards and an assist in 11 min-utes. But perhaps his most significant con-tribution came when Grant was saddledwith foul trouble at Western Carolina, andRichards stepped in for a season-high 26minutes of court time. His seven pointsand six assists also constituted top markson the year for the freshman. He played in14 of the last 15 games from that point for-ward, pitching in at least 10 minutes onfour occasions, including 14 minutes atMaryland in what turned out to beDavidson’s final game of the season.

High School: The four-year starter atBarrington broke 12 school records duringhis prep career at Barrington High School,highlighted by 1,779 career points.Richards averaged better than 20 points,four assists and two steals per game in hisfinal year at Barrington High School. Thecombo-guard was selected to participate inthe prestigious ABCD camp and was alsochosen as a Street & Smith’s PreseasonHonorable Mention All-American.

Personal: Richards comes from a familyof basketball stars. His lone sister, Lindsay(22), was a McDonald’s All-American andis currently rehabbing a knee injury withthe Iowa Hawkeye basketball team. Hisparents, Tom and Mary Beth, both playedhoops at the University of Pittsburgh.

Scouting Report: McKillop likes playersthat possess what he calls “basketball IQ.”Well, Sander certainly has that going forhim. He is an outstanding rebounder withterrific shot selection, as demonstrated byhis 76.5-percent accuracy from the floorlast year. The Wildcats will need him to fillthe void in the post left by graduates Graceand Kosmalski. This summer he put hisability in the blocks on display during theteam’s European trip, twice hauling in 10boards in the six games. “Thomas excels atdoing the little things on the interior,”McKillop said, “and he never takes a stepback to anyone.”

2004-05: Although his totals did notmeet the minimums to be listed in the con-ference rankings, Sander had one of themost impressive field goal percentages inthe league. He shot 76.5 percent from thefloor, having dumped in 26-of-34 attemptsin his 29 games. In his first collegiate game,Sander was thrust into 13 minutes ofaction, helping the ’Cats to an 84-81 victoryat Missouri. He put up season-highs inpoints (12) and rebounds (9) againstMaine-Farmington, but some of his bestwork came in non-conference games ver-sus Seton Hall and Princeton. In 47 com-bined minutes against those two schools,Sander provided 13 rebounds and 10points on 5-of-6 shooting.

High School: At Elder High School,Sander was named first-team All-GreaterCatholic League as well as honorable men-tion all-district as a junior and senior. Thebig man was also nominated as aMcDonald’s All-American in his final sea-son after leading the GCL in reboundingfor two straight seasons. As a senior,

Wildcat Summer Trip

Italian National Team was the toughestopponent we faced on the trip, by far.”

Senior guard Matt McKillop said heespecially enjoyed the week the team spentin Bormio, Italy. “It was a small-townatmosphere,” McKillop said. “It gave us achance to really experience the Italian cul-ture in a community that was absent of thehustle and bustle of a big city.”

Matt McKillop also said Davidsonplayed two games in Slovenia that wentdown to the wire, against teams that weresimilar to the level of competition theWildcats will face in the tough SouthernConference this season.

The Davidson party began their trip inBormio, Italy, where they stayed fromMonday through Saturday. They took aday trip via bus to Livigno, Switzerland,which took them over the Alps andthrough a valley, a trip the players called“breathtaking in its beauty.”

Davidson’s second opponent on the tripwas the national team from the CentralAfrican Republic, a game Davidson won,58-46 to even its record at 1-1.

The Wildcats spent two nights inTreviso, Italy, and took a 25-minute trainride to visit Venice for a day. Davidsontraveled by bus for four hours to Ljubljana,Slovenia to play 20 minutes away inDomzale, Slovenia, the hometown of for-mer Davidson player Janko Narat ’94. TheWildcats played three games there, win-ning two and losing one.

The players said the brand of basketballthey faced on the trip was much morephysical than they experience in collegebasketball in the United States.

“We played well on the trip againstsome tough competition,” said senior ChrisClunie. “The experience we gained on thetrip should help us during our season. The

Davidson players andcoaches say the trip theWildcats took to Italy dur-ing Aug. 7-20 this past sum-mer was not only educa-tional and exciting, but alsohelped prepare the team forthe demanding schedule itwill face during the 2005-06basketball season.

“We played againstsome excellent competition,and being there helpedbuild our team cama-raderie,” said senior front-court leader Ian Johnson.

The players certainlylearned to depend on eachother, as they didn’t under-stand the language, thecurrency rates, or how toorder certain foods.

The Wildcats playedagainst professional andnational teams while win-ning four games and losingtwo. The players wereunanimous in saying theItalian National Team,which won the SilverMedal at the AthensOlympics, was the bestteam they played against.

“Poetry in motion,” wasthe way Johnson describedthe Italian team’s offensive sets.

Said Eric Blancett, senior guard, “Theywere absolutely great in the way theypassed the ball and kept it moving. And ifwe happened to beat them on the break,they just grabbed one of our guys at mid-court and fouled them. They took the foulrather than have us outnumber them.”

One of the first stops on the European trek was in beautiful Bormio, Italy.

To Europe

players were familiar to the Wildcats,including former North Carolina guardDante Calabria, who plays for the ItalianNational Team, and former Citadel for-ward Max Mombollet, who played for theteam from the Central African Republic.

How was the food the players enjoyedon the trip? “It was very good,” saidJohnson. “The meals lasted a long time,which gave us time to have some goodconversation at the dinner table.”

All of the Davidson’s players agreedwith Blancett’s one-word description of thetrip: “Awesome!”

Head coach Bob McKillop said, “Thetrip was educational for our players andpositive in every way. It was a great expe-rience.”

Davidson has experienced some posi-tive history from taking these trips abroad.They traveled abroad in 1998 and 2002,and both of those seasons saw them winSouthern Conference Tournament champi-onship and advance to NCAA Tournamentcompetition.

The Wildcats are hoping that historyrepeats itself.

Matt McKillop said the players hadbeen coached to understand that the offici-ating would be different from what theyexperience in America. “They call travelingalmost the opposite of the way it’s calledhere,” McKillop said. “But it didn’t cause abig problem for us, because we had beenwarned about it.”

NCAA rules allowed Davidson 10 daysof practice at home before they left on thetrip. “That was important,” Ian Johnsonsaid, “because it gave us a chance to pre-pare for playing with internationl rules.”

The six opponents that Davidson facedon the trip played mostly a physical man-to-man defense. Some of the opposing

One of the byproducts of the trip wasthat it provided valuable playing experi-ence for sophomores Thomas Sander, BorisMeno and Jason Richards, as all of themwill be counted on this season. The fourfreshmen were not allowed, under NCAArules, to make the trip because classes werenot in session.

International basketball rules prevailedon the trip, which meant a 24-second shotclock and a wider three-second lane. “Thebasketball was very physical,” said associ-ate head coach Matt Matheny. “We playedbetter as the trip progressed, and probablyplayed our best in the last game of thetrip.”

Davidson had work to do on the trip as well, shown here at a game during a timeout in Domzale, Slovenia.

Venice, Italy was another historic placethe Wildcats had a chance to visit.

While in Bormio, the team took the opportunity to see the Italian Alps.

Head Coach

Each morning when coach BobMcKillop enters his office in Davidson’sBaker Sports Complex, he passes aDecember 1968 Sports Illustrated magazinethat is displayed prominently, one that hasa cover picturing North Carolina’s CharlieScott, Kentucky’s Mike Casey andDavidson’s Mike Maloy, under a headlinethat reads, “Challengers to UCLA.”

McKillop studies the photograph, andthinks, “We can do that.”

We can do what? The 1969 Davidsonteam won 27 games, the most in schoolhistory, finished the season ranked third inthe nation and fought powerful NorthCarolina to the final second before falling,87-85, in the NCAA Elite Eight. One stepfrom the Final Four. Davidson basketballcan duplicate that storybook season?

Go ahead, laugh at the supposition, oreven scoff at it, but if McKillop didn’tbelieve in his heart that it could be repeat-ed, he wouldn’t be in his 17th year asDavidson College’s head basketball coach.He’s a confessed dreamer. His players,who have seen his teams win seven of thelast 10 Southern Conference Divisionchampionships, and four straight, call hima dream-maker. So do many of the nation’sleading coaches.

“Many times you only hear about thecoaches in the power conferences beinggreat coaches,” says John Beilein, the high-ly successful West Virginia coach. “BobMcKillop is equal or better than any othercoach that I know, and I’ve coached againstmost of the best in the country in my 13years in Division I.”

Like many outstanding coaches,McKillop cloaks himself in mystery lest hedare become predictable, a trait coachesaren’t allowed to have. His résumé tells aninteresting story, one of dedication, disci-pline, preparation, competitiveness andhumility.

He was a successful baseball and bas-ketball player at Chaminade High Schoolin the New York City High School CatholicLeague, where one of his fellow students

in homeroom for four years was BillO’Reilly of the O’Reilly Factor. JackCurran, the coach at rival ArchbishopMalloy High, helped him get a basketballscholarship to East Carolina. His last gameat East Carolina was in the old CharlotteColiseum in the 1969 Southern Conferencetournament championship game, a 102-76loss to Davidson, a game that stuck in hismind and later would have major conse-quences in his life.

Homesick and ready to be closer tohome, he transferred from East Carolina toHofstra University where he became theteam’s MVP and later was inducted intothe Hofstra Basketball Hall of Fame. Aftergraduation in 1972, he signed as a freeagent with the Philadelphia 76ers but wascut. The 76ers went 9-72 that season. “Iwas cut from the worst team in NBA histo-ry,” McKillop jokes. Humility comes instrange packages.

Reluctantly accepting the fact that hisplaying career was over, he took a jobteaching history and coaching basketball atHoly Trinity High in Long Island in 1972.After a sparkling 86-25 record as coach, in1978 McKillop was offered assistant coach-ing positions at the University ofPennsylvania and Davidson where EddieBiedenbach had just been named headcoach. In making his decision, McKilloprecalled his last game for East Carolina, theloss to Davidson, the way the fans celebrat-ed the championship. In making his deci-sion between Penn and Davidson, he visit-ed the Davidson campus in northernMecklenburg County, was stricken withthe beauty of the campus, the mission ofthe college, the uniqueness of the village.“Davidson, here I come!” The Wildcatswent 8-19 that season. Penn went to theNCAA Final Four. Oh well.

After one year on the Davidson staff, agreat high school opportunity beckoned atLong Island Lutheran High School.McKillop went there as head basketballcoach, director of summer programs, andfor two years served as interim headmaster.

Bob McKillopHe compiled a record there of 182-51. In hishigh school coaching career, he won fiveNew York State championships, coachedfive high school All-Americas, one of whomwas Matt Doherty, former head coach atNorth Carolina and now in the same posi-tion at Florida Atlantic University.

“Bob McKillop is easily one of thenation’s best coaches,”Doherty says. “Whathe has done atDavidson is trulyremarkable. Herecruits top-flight stu-dents for one of thecountry’s top liberalarts colleges and com-petes in the demanding SouthernConference along with a ridiculouslytough non-conference schedule.”

McKillop accepted the challenge ofrebuilding Davidson basketball andbecame its head coach in 1989. He proceed-ed cautiously at first, as he learned to meshwhat fit at Davidson with his personal phi-losophy. “Davidson is a special place, aunique place,” McKillop says. “In recruit-ing and staffing, we must have the right fit,otherwise it could lead to frustration andimmediate failure.” Davidson has a specialblend of academics, social life and athlet-ics. Not all good players with excellentgrades are a fit. McKillop’s ability to putthe proper people in place has been a lead-ing reason that he has succeeded at such ahigh level at Davidson.

One of McKillop’s former Davidsonplayers, Martin Ides, now in his fourth sea-son of playing professional basketball inEurope, says: “There are many things thatset Coach McKillop apart from all thecoaches I’ve had … However, what I

appreciate most is what Coach calls ourDavidson ‘basketball family.’ I stay in con-tact with many of our guys … I would loveto be on an all-Davidson team again withCoach McKillop leading the way.”

McKillop’s players talk about his lead-ership, teaching, and confidence.

“Coach McKillop is the best at prepar-ing his team,” saysLogan Kosmalski,who was an All-Southern Conferenceplayer in 2005 andnow plays profes-sionally in France.“His knowledge andattention to detail

made us feel like we could win against anyopponent.”

Now 55 years old, McKillop loves histo-ry, politics, Italian cuisine, nice clothes,good books and movies that teach himlife’s lessons. A frequent lecturer, he has asmany basketball friends in Europe as hedoes in the United States. He oncedreamed of being a U.S. Senator from NewYork, a notion that has since subsided. Hisreading preferences lean toward history,politics, leadership, coaching stories andnot much fiction. Four movies rank as hisfavorites: Life is Beautiful, Michael Collins,The Godfather, and Schindler’s List.

“Those movies teach great lessons aboutlife, family, struggles and leadership,” hesays. In his view, movies should do morethan entertain; they should also teach life’slessons.

McKillop cherishes each moment andtreats it as gold. Whether it’s on the buswith his team to a road game or waitingfor a flight in an airport terminal, healways has work at hand. When a friend

was late to a breakfast meeting last sum-mer, McKillop waved it off, saying as hesurveyed papers on the table in front ofhim, “No problem. I had plenty of work todo.” He carries his office with him.

He grew up on Long Island and had afascination with sports for as long as he canremember. He loved Army football and thelegacy of the Black Knights of the Hudson.The first college basketball game that hesaw in person was at Alumni Hall, St.John’s vs. NYU. He loved going to gamesat Alumni Hall and Madison SquareGarden and dreamed of playing for NYU, apowerhouse at the time. Although he’sbeen in North Carolina for 17 years, he has-n’t lost the sharp edges of his New Yorkbrogue. His phone mail message begins,“How ya doin’?” His metaphors, which heoften uses, speak of “Broadway stages,”and “magical carpet rides.”

His coaching career at Davidson hasbeen scintillating by any barometer. HisDavidson record is 262-202. He’s coachedDavidson longer than any basketball coach,has won more games there than any coach,and his 144 Southern Conference wins aremore than any coach in league history. He’sbeen the SoCon Coach of the Year fivetimes, including last season, has won sevenconference division titles, two tournamentchampionships, and taken his team to twoNCAA tournaments and three postseasonNITs. All this winning hasn’t come at anyacademic sacrifice, as 95 percent of hisDavidson lettermen have graduated.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski callsMcKillop “a sensational coach.” Texascoach Rick Barnes says, “There are somegreat coaches out there who deserve recog-nition, and Bob is at the very top of thatlist.”

Head Coach

McKillop derived his basketball philos-ophy from many sources: Lou Carnesecca,Al and Frank McGuire, Jack Curran, FrankMorris, Paul Lynner, Dean Smith, JohnWooden, Red Auerbach, Ettore Messinaand others. He’s studied the winning waysof former college football coaches AraParseghian, Bud Wilkinson and KnuteRockne. “I’ve stolen from the best,” hesays, laughing.

McKillop’sdemanding practicesare planned to the sec-ond. He stresses fun-damentals, is a disci-plinarian as well as astickler for details, buthis players alwaysknow he cares.

Jouni Eho, one of McKillop’s formerplayers now playing overseas, was marriedlast summer. McKillop attended the cere-mony — in Finland. “That was very specialto me,” Eho says.

Terrell Ivory often was present whenMcKillop was recruiting his brother, Titus,who eventually chose Penn State overDavidson. “Even though Titus didn’t go toDavidson, when my father died, CoachMcKillop was at the funeral,” Terrell said.“I said then that I want to play for thisman. He’s like a second father to me.”Terrell, now an assistant coach in highschool basketball, came to Davidson as awalk-on, earned a scholarship and con-tributed to many wins.

McKillop runs several miles most days,

never gains an ounce, and as his assistantscan attest, can get so lost in his work thathe can go a full day without eating. Sweetsare a weakness, though, and he attacks abag of chocolate chip cookies the way awoodpecker works on a sugar maple. It’scommon to see him pour chocolate syrupon top of a chocolate brownie.

McKillop and his wife Cathy, a knowl-edgeable basketballperson in her ownright, have three chil-dren — Kerrin, 25, a2002 Davidson gradu-ate, Matthew, 22, asenior on this year’sDavidson team, andBrendan, 17, whoplays basketball at

Charlotte Catholic High.“Davidson College is a special place,”

McKillop says. “One reason our teams havebeen so united and close is because wereflect the total Davidson philosophy. Ourplayers remain close long after they leaveDavidson.”

When McKillop thinks back to playingagainst Davidson in 1969, he reflects on thejob former coach Lefty Driesell did in put-ting the Wildcats in the nation’s top 10 andtwice taking them to the NCAA Elite Eight.“What Lefty Driesell and his players did isone of the greatest stories in college basket-ball history,” McKillop says.

It was the “Broadway stage,” is what itwas, and McKillop the dreamer thinksthere can be an encore.

International Pipeline

McKillop has incorporated players on hisroster from around the globe but the interna-tional pipeline runs both ways. Numerousgraduates have also gone on to play profes-sionally overseas.

Matt Matheny is in his 18th year as amember of the Davidson family. His associ-ation with the college dates back to evenbefore Bob McKillop was hired as theWildcats’ head coach, when he enrolled asa student in the fall of 1988. His time on thejob and in the classroom give him a uniqueperspective on the school and its basketballprogram.

“Having been a player and a coach atDavidson enables me to relate to our guys,”stated Matheny. “I can see both sides of theequation, having first-hand experience onthe demands of Davidson, both academical-ly and athletically, and what it takes to besuccessful.”

When Matheny first arrived atDavidson, the Wildcat basketball program

finished the 1988-89 season with a 7-24record as an independent. Since those days,he has become an integral member of aDavidson team that is considered a peren-nial candidate for the league title in theSouthern Conference.

Now in his 13th year on McKillop’sstaff, Matheny was promoted to associatehead coach following the 2002-03 season,after having served as the top assistant forthe previous three years. In his new role heis more involved in day-to-day practicesand is responsible for controlling the publicrelations aspect of Davidson basketball.Matheny will be the main point of contactfor promoting the program throughout thecommunity.

“While I’ve been on staff, I have beenresponsible for almost everyaspect of the program at one timeor another,” commented Matheny.“At this point in my career CoachMcKillop has given me responsi-bilities in areas he sees asstrengths for me and also in areasthat he wants to challenge me toimprove.”

In the 14 seasons Matheny andMcKillop have been together, thepair has helped Davidson averagenearly 18 victories a season. SinceMatheny joined the coachingstaff, the Wildcats have won 205games, making him the all-timewinningest assistant at Davidson.

“Matt is the dean of assistantcoaches in the SouthernConference,” McKillop said. “Hisexperience, insight and workethic have given him a greatfoundation to ready himself to bea head coach and take over hisown program.”

“Coach McKillop has shownme how to run a program at agreat institution with integrity,and impressed upon me the value

of doing things in a detailed manner,”Matheny said. “You can do things the rightway and be successful.”

As a student, Matheny enjoyed stints asa hoops walk-on in the 1988-89, 1991-92and 1992-93 seasons, serving as captain hissenior year. He was also captain of the foot-ball team as a junior and senior.

A native of Statesville, N.C., just 20 min-utes north of Davidson, Matheny was anaccomplished student and athlete at NorthIredell High School, starring in football,basketball and tennis.

“Davidson is a great place to be,”Matheny commented. “It’s close toStatesville where I grew up, and nowJennifer and I are fortunate to call it home.”

Matheny is married to the formerJennifer Collins. The couple has an 18-month-old son, Brock, who was born inApril 2004. The family resides in Davidson.

Jim Fox, who enters his fifth season onBob McKillop’s staff, has been an integralpart of the four consecutive SouthernConference division titles the Wildcatshave shared. He has worked his way upto the second assistant position, whichincludes significantly greater responsibili-ties in individual player instruction aswell as off-campus recruiting.

It is no coincidence that Davidson hasenjoyed successful seasons during Fox’sfirst four years. The fun-loving and hard-working coach with a track record ofachievements quickly earned the confi-dence and trust of not just McKillop andthe other assistants, but the players as well.

“My years at Davidson have been atremendous learning experience,” com-mented Fox. “As coaches, we face manydifferent challenges every day. There isnot a better group of people to face thesechallenges with than the people we havehere.”

He arrived on August 27, 2001, justafter the team returned from its exhibitiontour of Italy, and immediately got downto business.

“The work ethic in this program runsfrom the coaches to the players,” Fox stat-ed. “Everyone is working toward a com-mon goal, and every effort is made toachieve that goal — being successful inthe NCAA Tournament.”

Fox, a native of Levittown, N.Y., spentfive years as the associate head coach at

St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay,N.Y. From 1996-2000, he also served as thehead coach of the freshman team at St.Dominic, leading the squad to an overallrecord of 55-1 and four consecutiveCatholic High School championships.

From 1995 through 2001, Fox was thehead coach and director of the LongIsland Lightning AAU Basketball Club.The organization is the largest of its kindin the Northeast with 44 teams, and hecoached more than 20 players who wenton to play at the collegiate level.

Fox also has his own basketball camp— the Fox Offensive Skills BasketballCamp — which operates for two weekseach summer in West Hempstead, N.Y.

“Together with Matt, Jim providesgreat continuity,” commented McKillop.“Responsibilities cause him to wear manyhats and he has been superb in fulfillingthe expectations of each responsibility.”

Fox graduated in 1995 from the StateUniversity of New York at GeneseoCollege, earning a bachelor’s degree inpolitical science.

“Every year the coaching staff andplayers push the program to new heights.We expect to compete for the conferencecrown and a bid to the NCAATournament year in and year out,” saidFox.

Fox is currently single and resides inDavidson.

While this is just Landry Kosmalski’ssecond year on the Davidson men’s bas-ketball coaching staff, he has been part ofthe Wildcat family for much longer.Kosmalski, a 2000 graduate of Davidson,was a standout forward for the ’Cats dur-ing his four years. He recently finished hisprofessional playing career to return toDavidson basketball.

“Professional experience, familiaritywith Davidson, an outstanding work ethic,strong attention to detail and organization-al skills are all qualities that Landry imme-diately brings to the table,” commentedMcKillop. “He wears Davidson College onhis heart. It brought him great success as aplayer and it continues to bring him similarsuccess as a member of the staff. We areabsolutely thrilled to have him back on theteam again.”

Kosmalski spent three years playing inSweden for the A1 league’s 08 Stockholmand Sodertalje Kings before competing inFrance two years ago. Stockholm won theSwedish championship upon Kosmalski’sarrival, as he took home the league’s for-ward of the year honor. Kosmalski playedhis final season with Valence, a team insouthwest France.

“I’ve always felt very comfortable here inDavidson and always thought about com-ing back,” Kosmalski said. “Having experi-enced life as a Davidson student-athlete, Ihave a strong understanding of what theteam has to go through day in and day out.Playing overseas also gave me new perspec-tives about basketball that have helped metransition into the coaching role.”

Kosmalski was the Wildcats’ marqueeplayer during his four years, helpingDavidson to a Southern Conference champi-onship and a trip to the NCAA Tournamentduring his sophomore season. For hiscareer, the power forward averaged almost13 points per game, as well as nearly eightrebounds a game. Kosmalski ranks third all-time on Davidson’s rebounding charts with877, 10th in scoring with 1,438 points andeighth in steals (121). The Bedford, Texasnative is the only Wildcat to be named con-ference freshman of the year by both themedia and the coaches. A two-time firstteam all-conference performer, Kosmalskiranked among the top three rebounders inthe SoCon three of his four years.

Landry is one of two Kosmalskis whohave been a part of the Davidson basketballfamily. His younger brother Logan fol-

lowed in his footsteps and graduated lastyear after being an all-conference forwardfor the Wildcats.

Kosmalski is currently single and residesin Davidson.

No stranger to theSouthern Conference orNorth Carolina, formerWestern Carolina, Wingateand Appalachian Stateassistant Mike Craft is inhis first season asDavidson’s director of bas-ketball operations.

Prior to joining theWildcats’ staff, Craft spentone season as the associatehead coach at WesternCarolina and four years asan assistant coach at theschool under former headcoach Steve Surina.

In his tenure with theCatamounts he was directlyinvolved in all phases ofthe basketball program. AtWCU he had the opportu-nity to coach Kevin Martin,a first-round NBA draftpick of the SacramentoKings in 2004, and was on astaff that led the club toupset wins over Arkansas,Kansas State and FloridaState.

Along with taking partin the daily operations ofthe men’s basketball office,Craft’s primary responsibil-ities at Davidson are teamtravel arrangements andfilm exchange.

“It is truly an honor to be on CoachMcKillop’s staff and to work at such a greatacademic institution,” said Craft. “Havingspent nine years in the SouthernConference, I’ve watched Davidson winmany games — always doing it in a first-class manner.

Staff

equipment RoomWhen it comes right

down to it, the equip-ment room keeps all theathletic teams preparedto play. Without theservices of head equip-ment manager DanMorphis and his assis-tant, Will DuBose, theathletic scene atDavidson would simplygrind to a halt.

Morphis (Appalachian State ’84) is anexperienced veteran at Davidson College,as he is now in his 20th year. The biggestpart of his job is purchasing equipmentfrom sporting goods manufacturers. Hisinsight and knowledge of the latest trendsin the best available equipment keep theWildcats supplied with the best tools in thecompetition arenas.

In addition to his duties with the ’Cats,Morphis also lends his services to theNFL’s Carolina Panthers and theKannapolis Intimidators, a Single-A base-ball club. Morphis has also worked severalpreseason camps with the San DiegoChargers and the Washington Redskins.

Season-Opening WinDavidson started the 2004-05 season

with a tremendous road victory atMissouri on Nov. 19, 84-81. It was the firstWildcat victory in a season-opener sincethe 1996-97 season. For the second straightyear, Matt McKillop led the Davidsonoffense in the first game, this time with acareer-high 28 points on the strength offive three-pointers. Point guard KennyGrant recorded the first double-double ofhis career, scoring 10 points while dishingout 11 assists at Missouri. And as a team,the ’Cats shot 60 percent from the field,including 70 percent in the final half.Davidson missed only one two-pointattempt in the final 20 minutes of play.

Not a Bad StartBrendan Winters had an amazing

November and garnered SoCon Player ofthe Month for his efforts. The guard led theWildcats with 18.4 points and 5.4 reboundsper game. The Denver, Colo., native netted19 points on five-of-seven shooting fromthe field in Davidson’s win at Missouri andhit 10-of-17 against Duke for 24 points.Winters tied a school record againstGeorgetown, shooting five-of-five fromthree-point range. He shot 64 percent (16-of-25) from beyond the arc and 59.6 per-cent (31-of-52) from the floor.

Dominant DefenseThe Davidson ‘D’ put together possibly

its most dominating performance ever,holding Division III Maine-Farmington to a19.7 percent shooting performance. That isthe lowest known field goal percentage bya Davidson opponent. The 103-33 victoryalso extended the Wildcats’ home winningstreak to 15 games, the longest such streakin Belk Arena history.

The Best of the BestStreet & Smith’s produced a publication

recognizing the “100 Greatest College

South Division ChampsWith their 92-87 win over Georgia

SoCon PerfectionDavidson’s 61-45 win over Wofford on

Feb. 26 secured a perfect 16-0 record forthe Wildcats in Southern Conference play.Only one other Division I team (Pacific)ran the table in its conference. For the’Cats, it was their first undefeated SoConseason since 1995-96 and fifth overall.Sixteen SoCon wins is the most-ever by aDavidson team.

Basketball Programs of All Time.”Davidson ranked No. 80 on the list, one ofonly two SoCon schools that made the cut;Chattanooga ranked 81st. The programswere graded on the basis of NCAATournament success, NIT success, nationalchampionships, conference regular-seasonand tournament titles, all-time win-losspercentage, graduation rate, NCAA infrac-tions, NBA first-round draft picks andmascot ferocity.

Three for 1,000Three Wildcats surpassed 1,000 points

during the season, beginning with BrendanWinters in the game against Massachusetts.on Dec. 19. By season’s end, he owned1,385 points, 13th all-time for the Wildcats.In the first two games for Davidson in theNIT, Logan Kosmalski and Ian Johnsonreached the milestone, respectively.Kosmalski finished his collegiate careerwith 1,032 points (319 coming in two sea-sons at Baylor). Johnson, meanwhile, cur-rently has 1,015 points with one season leftin his career.

against the Wildcats on Jan. 5, the fewestby a Davidson opponent under McKillop.The last time a Davidson opponent hadless than 20 rebounds in a game — Feb. 13,1989, Hofstra posted 17 in a 78-71 win overthe ’Cats.

Topping the SoCon Wins ChartWildcat head coach Bob McKillop

became the all-time Southern Conferencewins record-holder with 136 regular-seasonleague victories. Davidson’s win overETSU on Jan. 26 pushed McKillop pastMack McCarthy (Chattanooga, 1986-97).The Wildcats’ head man has amassed aSoCon record of 144-61 since the Davidsonrejoined the league in the 1992-93 season.

All-Conference RecognitionBrendan Winters and Logan Kosmalski

were both named to All-SouthernConference teams. Winters was named firstteam by both the coaches and media.Kosmalski was on the 10-member coach’sall-league team and earned second-teamhonors from the media.

Winters Among The BestBrendan Winters found himself among

elite company as he was named to theAssociated Press All-America Team as anhonorable mention. Once again his name isassociated with Mike Maloy, the lastWildcat to receive All-America regonitionfrom the AP. Winters was also selected forthe 2005 United States Basketball WritersAssociation (USBWA) All-District III Team.District III is made up of schools fromVirginia, North Carolina, South Carolinaand Maryland. Winters was the only non-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) player onthe 11-member team.

NIT-PickingsDavidson hadn’t been to the National

Invitation Tournament since the 1995-96season — coincidentally that Wildcat teamalso went undefeated in the SouthernConference regular season, but was unableto bring home the league tournamentcrown. Davidson’s 77-62 win at VirginiaCommonwealth on March 16 was the first-ever NIT win and first postseason win by aWildcat team since a 61-59 victory over St.John’s in the NCAA Round of 16 in 1969.And with the 82-71 victory at SouthwestMissouri State three days later, Davidsontied the most-ever postseason wins in aseason by any Wildcat team.

west Missouri State, a win that McKillopcalls “one of the best we’ve ever had here.”

Continuing its excellent play, Davidsonbuilt a 17-point first-half lead at Marylandbefore faltering in the second half and los-ing to the Terps of the ACC, 78-63.

The Wildcats had to feel good about theway they rallied themselves from the deepdisappointment of not making the NCAA

The 2004-05 Wildcats had some closecalls in Southern Conference regular-sea-son play, but always found a way to win incompiling a sparkling 16-0 record, a fullfour games better than the second-placeteam in the South Division and six gamesbetter than the North Division champion.Davidson is the first conference team everto go through the regular season at 16-0.

How impressive was that unbeaten con-ference record? Only one Division I basket-ball team in the nation other thanDavidson went unbeaten in its conferenceregular season — the University of thePacific.

“Our 16-0 record in conference play isan experience that will stay with the play-ers forever,” coach Bob McKillop said. “Itwas a magic carpet ride.”

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they raninto a red-hot UNC Greensboro team in thesemifinals of the Southern Conferencetournament and lost, 73-68. The defeat leftDavidson with a record of 21-8 and the bit-ter disappointment of not making the 65-team NCAA Tournament field.

However, Davidson was invited to thepostseason NIT and made the most of it.The Wildcats went on the road and won by77-62 at Virginia Commonwealth, and thenscored an impressive 82-71 victory before aloud and appreciative audience at South-

2005 NIT Teamtournament to playing some of their bestbasketball of the season in the NIT. Insteadof sulking and feeling sorry for themselves,they went at the NIT with exceptionalexcitement and determination, eventhough all of their games in the tourna-ment were tough road contests. The team’sfinal record was 23-9.

“In order for us to respond so well inthe NIT after not making the NCAATournament, it had to be an internalresponse from our team. It was a credit toour seniors, Logan Kosmalski and ConorGrace, as well as an outstanding class ofjunior leaders,” McKillop said. “It’s a greatstatement about the kind of people wehave in our program.”

It was also a year of superlatives for the’Cats. Kosmalski and team-leading scorerBrendan Winters made the All-SouthernConference team, with Winters also beingnamed the conference’s Player of the Year.Winters was named honorable mentionAll-America by the Associated Press andselected to the USBWA All-District IIIteam, the only non-ACC player to makethe squad. McKillop capped his 16th yearas head coach of the Wildcats by takingconference Coach of the Year honors forthe fifth time.

Coming off a 15-17 record in 2001, andwith virtually the same players back forthe 2001-02 season, coach Bob McKillopfelt game experience would help restoreDavidson basketball to its winning ways.

There was a catch: Davidson needed tostay healthy. Injuries had ravaged the ’Cats’chances in 2001, and McKillop was lookingfor better luck. He knew he had experi-enced players in seniors Michael Bree,Emeka Erege, Martin Ides and Fern Tonella.In addition, Chris Pearson, Wayne Bernard,Peter Anderer and Michel Lusakueno werejuniors, most with game experience.

Unfortunately, injuries struck the teamagain. Erege endured a painful leg injurywhile Bree hurt his elbow in the SouthernConference Tournament, which kept himout of the NCAA Tournament.

“This team will be remembered forfighting through many challenges, yet find-ing a way to succeed,” Coach McKillopsaid. “We had injury after injury, but theresilience of the players was inspiring. Forinstance, when (Bree) was hurt, Wayne,Terrell (Ivory) and Fern took over as a pointguard committee and did a terrific job.”

McKillop also praised the senior leader-ship on the team. “The team bonded in away that those seniors are still extremelyclose to this day,” he said.

The Wildcats ended the regular seasontied with UNC Greensboro and East

Tennessee State atop the SouthernConference North Division standings witha league mark of 11-5. Davidson headed toCharleston for the conference tournamentknowing that it had to win three toughgames in order to get an invitation to theNCAA Tournament.

After beating The Citadel, 71-58, andWildcat nemesis UNC Greensboro, 68-58,Davidson found a way to overcome a 28-24halftime deficit and rally to beat Furman inthe championship game, 62-57. Andererpicked up the ’Cats in the second half, hit-ting five three-pointers, and in one stretch

scoring 17 of Davidson’s 19 points. Hedropped in two clutch free throws witheight seconds left to seal the victory. Hissterling play netted him the tournament’sMVP award.

The win sent Davidson to Albuquerque,N.M., for the NCAA Tournament as a 13seed to face Ohio State. The 13,661 fans inThe Pit quickly jumped on the side of theunderdog Wildcats, who fought andscrapped and trailed only 33-32 at half-time. Davison got a sensational game fromIdes, who scored a career-high 20 pointsand grabbed seven rebounds.

Davidson led the game late at 59-58, butsenior Brian Brown scored Ohio State’snext eight points to give the Buckeyes a 65-61 lead with 2:35 to play. An Anderer 3-pointer with 35 seconds on the clockshaved the deficit to one point. After twoOSU free throws, Bernard broke opendown the lane off the dribble, but hislayup attempt tantalized the crowd byrolling off the rim. Ohio State prevailed,69-64, yet the fans gave the Wildcats astanding ovation as they left the court.

“It was a special team,” Coach McKillopsaid, “one that left us with many exhilarat-ing memories.”

Including one of the biggest wins in theprogram’s storied history, a 58-54 win overNorth Carolina in the Smith Center inChapel Hill.

1998 NCAA Teamand go to the NCAA Tournament.

Davidson and Appalachian State fin-ished tied for first place in the SoCon’sNorth Division with records of 13-2. In thequarterfinals, the Wildcats got their tourna-ment legs in a 74-68 defeat of GeorgiaSouthern behind 20 points from Ton.

The Citadel focused on shutting downDavidson’s perimeter game in the semifi-nals, so the ’Cats went inside and high-lighted Stephen Marshall, who hit nine of12 shots and scored 27 points. Ben Ebongcame off the bench for 11 points and 10rebounds, as Davidson won 68-59 toadvance to the title game, fittingly againstrival Appalachian State.

It was a terrific game, back and forththe entire way. Ebong’s shot in the lane latekept Davidson ahead and directed theWildcats to a 66-62 victory and the confer-ence championship. Ebong was namedtournament MVP and joined teammatesMarshall and Donnelly on the all-tourna-ment team with Ton making the secondteam. Appalachian State lost only threegames all season to Southern Conferenceteams — all of them to Davidson.

The Wildcats were off to Atlanta to playMichigan of the Big Ten in the first roundof the Southeast Region of the NCAAs.Riding a 12-game winning streak,Davidson kept it close for a while beforethe powerful Wolverines and Robert

The Wildcats had high hopes for the1997-98 basketball season. A strong cast ofplayers returned, led by senior guardsMark Donnelly and Billy Armstrong, juniorpoint guard Ali Ton, 6-0, junior forwardsBen Ebong and Chadd Holmes, and sopho-mores Landry Kosmalski, StephenMarshall and Davor Halbauer, 6-3.

Davidson finished 18-10 the previousseason. Recent Davidson teams had pro-duced 20-win seasons, trips to the NIT butthe goal for 1998 was to get over the hump:win the Southern Conference Tournament

“Tractor” Traylor pulled away for an 80-61victory.

“Mark Donnelly and Billy Armstrongwere our senior leaders,” coach BobMcKillop said. “The team hit the wall witha demanding schedule early, and we strug-gled in December. But we turned the cor-ner the first week of conference play andreally got going.”

It was the Davidson team that returnedthe Wildcats to the national spotlight in theNCAA Tournament – for the first time in12 years. “This team accomplished a lot forour program,” McKillop said.

averaged 10.1 points. The quarterback wassenior point guard Chris Alpert who con-tributed 9.4 points and averaged 4.3 assists.

Bench scoring was terrific — MarkDonnelly (6.1 points), Anderson (5.5), BenEbong (5.5).

Davidson had to earn its stripes all overagain in the league tournament in order toget an automatic bid to the NCAAs. Thequest began in the opening round by beat-ing East Tennessee State for the third time,this time by 24 points. In the semifinals the’Cats beat Marshall, also for the third timein the season, this one by 15 points.

Then came the game that could punchDavidson’s ticket to the NCAAs. Thechampionship game opponent wasWestern Carolina, which Davidson playedonly once during the regular season. The’Cats prevailed 98-85, at Western in earlyFebruary. An athletic team that won theSouth Division regular-season title in thewith a 10-4 record, the Catamounts aver-aged 81 points a game during the season.The title game turned into a defensivestruggle between two offensive-mindedteams, and Western won, 69-60.

The Wildcats ended their regular seasonwith a mark of 25 wins against only fourlosses. They had reason to hope — even tobelieve — that they be would selected asan at-large entry to the tournament. Whenit didn’t happen, Davidson was dejected,

Fans who have followed Davidson bas-ketball for many years probably would saythat the 1995-96 team is one of the best inschool history.

The team had a little bit of everything:five gifted seniors, explosive scoring thatsaw four players average double digit scor-ing for the season, three outstanding shotblockers, a defensive stopper in JeffAnderson, quality depth and an offensethat produced 123 more assists than itsopponents on the way to a scoring averageof 84.3 points a game.

On average, Davidson outscored oppo-nents by 16 points a game. Examples: 88-56over East Tennessee State, 106-57 overMarshall, 71-46 over Georgia Southern, 90-68 over Appalachian State. Those were allSouthern Conference opponents.

Davidson cruised through the SouthernConference regular season, winning theNorth Division by four games and seldomplaying a close game while posting aleague record of 14 wins, no losses. SeniorBrandon Williams led the Davidson scoringparade at 18.2 a game. He could take itinside with his athleticism or outside withhis velvet shooting touch, one that resultedin making 40.7 percent of this 3-pointers.He had plenty of help. Classmate QuinnHarwood scored 13.9 points a game, sopho-more Ray Minlend checked in with 12.1points a game, and junior Narcisse Ewodo

but still accepted a bid to the NIT.The first-round game was at South

Carolina, which won decisively, 100-79.“It was a shocking end to our season,”

Coach McKillop said of the loss to WesternCarolina. “We had five seniors on the teamand their dream was to play in the NCAATournament. The disappointment of notgoing to the NCAAs lingered as we pre-pared to play South Carolina in the NIT.Not getting to the NCAAs will foreverhaunt that team.”

The accomplishments were many, andMcKillop knows it ranks as one of his bestDavidson teams.

1994 NIT Teamwhile Chris Alpert, the pointguard, chipped in with 8.1 pointsand a team-leading 130 assists.Quinn Harwood, 6-9, sophomoreaveraged 7.9 points andZimmerman 6.8 points. The defen-sive stopper was Jeff Anderson, aversatile sophomore who couldguard three positions on the court.

The Wildcats won 15 of theirlast 18 games on their way to afinal record of 22-8. They were 13-5 conference play in the regularseason, good for second place. The’Cats advanced to the leaguechampionship game against UT-Chattanooga and had a realchance to win it with seconds left,but a shot in the lane failed andthe Mocs held on for a 65-64 win.

Davidson’s season wasn’t over,however. It received a bid to theNIT where it lost to West Virginia,85-69.

“Our disappointment of losing in theconference championship game and notmaking the NCAA Tournament was tem-pered somewhat because our team over-achieved,” McKillop said. “We got greatleadership from Zimmerman, who becamean even better leader when he was removedfrom the starting lineup. Our lack of post-season experience, on the part of coaches

Davidson’s 1993-94 basketballteam wasn’t viewed in the pre-season as one that would make aserious run at the SouthernConference championship or aberth in a postseason tourna-ment. The Wildcats were comingoff a 14-14 season in 1993, andcoach Bob McKillop’s rebuildingjob was still a work in progress.

But Davidson’s players sawthings differently. They wanted ataste of postseason basketballand thought they could achieveit. With seniors Janko Narat andJason Zimmerman leading theway with their skills and leader-ship, Davidson defeated UNCCharlotte twice, beat Clemsonand won a one-point game atN.C. State.

Sophomore Brandon Williamsgave Davidson athleticism and14.4 points and 6.3 rebounds agame, but Narat was the team’s go-to guy.He averaged 17.7 points while shooting51.2 percent from the field and 81.9 percentfrom the free throw line. A versatile player,he could score from the perimeter or backhis defender inside for some deadly turn-around jumpers.

Junior center George Spain used his left-handed shooting skill to average 10.1 points

and players, was very evident in our gameagainst West Virginia. We were just sohappy to be in the NIT that we didn’t playour best. But we had an excellent seniorclass (Narat, Zimmerman, Ron Horton,Chris Shields) and a terrific season.”

There were superlatives, too. Narat andZimmerman surpassed 1,000 points intheir excellent Davidson careers. Narat wasnamed to the All-Southern Conferenceteam and McKillop, in his fifth season asDavidson’s head coach, was named confer-ence Coach of the Year.

The 1985-86 Wildcats of coach BobbyHussey lost its last two games of the regularseason on its way to championship dreamsin the Southern Conference Tournament.Davidson lost 66-57 at Marshall and 76-70 atVMI to finish that part of its season with 17wins and 10 losses.

Maybe it was a good omen, becausewhen Davidson traveled to Asheville, N.C.to open play in the SoCon Tournamentfour days later, VMI was the first-roundopponent. Davidson would be ready.

Davidson finished 10-6 in the SouthernConference regular season, tied withMarshall for second place behind 12-4 UT-Chattanooga. The Wildcats had not playedin an NCAA Tournament since 1970, a longdry spell for a program that had lived in

the national spotlight underLefty Driesell in the ’60s.

Davidson and VMI hadsplit two regular-seasongames with the ’Cats win-ning by seven at home andlosing by six in Lexington,Va. In the rubber game,Davidson’s Derek Ruckerscored 17 points and GerryBorn had 14 points and 10rebounds as the ’Cats tooktheir first SoCon Tournamentwin since 1982, by the scoreof 71-62. Anthony “Ace”Tanner and Jeff Himes eachscored 15 points to helpDavidson avenge that loss tothe Keydets just four nightsearlier.

Davidson’s semifinalgame was against EastTennessee State. It was backand forth for most of the game. Davidsonjumped to a good lead early only to seeETSU rally and tie the game at halftime.The Bucs led by four with 7:43 to play, buta 10-2 Davidson rally put the Wildcats ontop 58-54 with 3:46 to play en route to a 74-65 victory. Davidson had five players scorein double figures: Tanner with 17, Born,Rucker, and Himes with 12, and JimMcConkey with 10.

The championship game opponent was

UT-Chattanooga. Davidsonled by 10 early in the game,but UTC rallied to take a sec-ond-half lead in a low-scoringgame. The game was tiedwith just seconds remainingwhen Born hit a 22-foot shotto win it for the Wildcats, 42-40. Born was named the tour-nament’s most valuable play-er and was joined on the all-tournament team by team-mates Rucker and Tanner.The 20-10 record heading intothe NCAA Tournament wasDavidson’s best in 16 seasons.

Rucker led the Wildcats inscoring at 14 points a game,followed by Born at 11.0,Himes at 10.2, ChrisHeineman at 9.0 and Tannerat 7.9.

The reward for the confer-ence championship was a trip to Charlotteto face another breed of cat — the mightyWildcats of Kentucky. Davidson battledKentucky close for much of the first halfbut fell behind by 12 at halftime. Kentuckywas never threatened in the second half enroute to an impressive 75-55 victory. Bornand Himes led Davidson’s scoring with 13points each while Rucker added 10.Kentucky had a massive advantage on thebackboards, 39-19.

1972 NIT TeamAs a young coach, Terry Holland was

outspoken and optimistic about his out-look for his Davidson basketball teams.Before the start of Davidson’s 1971-72 sea-son, Holland was quoted, “Our returningveterans, Eric Minkin, Joe Sutter and JohnPecorak can give us the leadership andexperience we need to go with the youth-ful enthusiasm of the sophomores. Ascoaches we feel this combination is capableof 20 wins and an NCAA playoff berth.”

Holland’s prediction came within a gameof being correct. Davidson ended the season19-9 and 8-2 in the Southern Conference reg-ular season, which put the Wildcats atop theleague standings. After beating AppalachianState, 87-77, in the opening round of theSouthern Conference Tournament, theWildcats lost a heartbreaker inthe semifinals to EastCarolina, 81-77, thereby losingout on an NCAA trip.

It was an interesting seasonfor Holland and his Wildcats.In his third year as Davidson’shead coach, the formerWildcat star player and assis-tant coach welcomed back aroster of one senior, two jun-iors and 10 sophomores.Freshmen were ineligible forvarsity play, so this represent-ed one of the youngest teams

in major college basketball.Sutter, a 6-7 junior, aver-

aged 15.9 points and 7.6rebounds the previous sea-son when the Wildcats fin-ished 15-11. Minkin aver-aged 10.8 points and 7.7rebounds, and Pecorakscored 7.4 points a game andpulled 6.4 rebounds.

The most ballyhooed ofthe sophomores was JohnFalconi, who averaged 25.5points for the Davidsonfreshman team. “We expect him to doequally well against varsity competition,”Holland said. Falconi didn’t disappoint any-one in red and black, as he led the ’Cats in

scoring at 16.1 points a game.Davidson proved to be an

extremely hard team toguard as a balanced attackresulted in five players aver-aging double digits inpoints: Falconi led followedby Sutter (15.7), JohnPecorak (11.5), Minkin (11.5),sophomore Mike Sorrentino(10.9). Sophomore T. JayPecorak (John’s brother)averaged 9.6 points a game.

While the team’s goalwas the conference tourna-

ment championship and anautomatic berth in theNCAA Tournament,Davidson was invited to theNational InvitationTournament for the firsttime in the school’s history.It should be understood thatin this era the NIT wasalmost as prestigious as theNCAA Tournament. In fact,in the late 1960s, coach AlMcGuire of Marquetteturned down an NCAA bid

to accept one to the NIT.Davidson went to New York to play in

Madison Square Garden, maybe the mostfamous building in the world for basket-ball. The opponent was Syracuse, whichdefeated Davidson in a squeaker, 81-77.Falconi led the Davidson scorers with 21points while Minkin hauled down 13rebounds. New Yorkers Falconi andSorrentino were thrilled with the chance toplay in New York and the storied Garden.Sutter missed the NIT as he kept an earliercommitment to take part in a foreignexchange program in Mexico.

The loss in the NIT pulled the curtainon an exciting season that saw the young’Cats end with a record of 19-9, a first-evertrip to the NIT, and within a step or two ofHolland’s bold preseason prognostication.

The storybook era of Davidson basket-ball under coach Lefty Driesell ended inthe spring of 1969 when he resigned tobecome basketball coach at the Universityof Maryland, which he vowed to turn into“the UCLA of the East.”

Driesell’s first recruit at Davidson andhis former assistant coach, Terry Holland,was chosen to replace him as the Wildcatshead coach. It was a good year to take thejob. Davidson was 27-3 the year before,

and returning were stars Mike Maloy,Doug Cook and Jerry Kroll, plus preco-cious sophomore Bryan Adrian.

Holland was excited. Before the seasonbegan, he said, “There isn’t any limit towhat we can do. A national championshipis a possibility.”

Davidson made Holland look goodwhen it ran the table in the SouthernConference, going 10-0 in the regular sea-son and then romping through the confer-ence tournament without playing in a closegame. Outside the league, Davidson defeat-ed Michigan, Georgia, Syracuse, Princetonand South Carolina, and lost by threepoints to Duke in overtime before a selloutcrowd in the old Charlotte Coliseum.

Champions of the Southern Conference,the Wildcats played St. Bonaventure in afirst-round NCAA tournament game.Going against a St. Bonaventure team thatfeatured 6-11 superstar Bob Lanier, whowould go on to have a great career in theNBA, Davidson led 36-34 at halftime buteventually lost, 85-72. Lanier was just toomuch. He had 28 points, 15 rebounds, andhis shot-blocking prowess made it toughon Maloy and Cook inside, as they com-bined to take only 24 shots, 11 of whichwere made. Davidson went to the perime-ter game with Adrian taking 26 shots andmaking 12 en route to a 28-point perform-ance. Davidson didn’t help itself by mak-

ing only 16-of-26 freethrows.

With fouroffensivestars on theteam,Hollandwiselydirected hisoffense tosuit them.Of the 846field goalsthat Davidson scored during the season,Maloy, Cook, Kroll and Adrian hit 660 ofthem. Adrian averaged 20.2 points a game,Maloy 17.4, Cook 15.6 and Kroll 13.4. Cookled the team in field-goal percentage at.500. Maloy averaged 12.7 rebounds andCook 10.2

The era of Maloy, Cook and Kroll endedwith a 22-5 season. Over their three varsityseasons, Davidson won 73 games, lost only13, and played in the NCAA Tournamenteach season, twice advancing to the EliteEight where they lost to North Carolinaeach time.

The Wildcats were prominently in thenational picture during the entire Maloy-Cook-Kroll era. It was a special time in thevillage.

SoCon Tournament Champions

1966, ’68, ’69, ’70, ’86, ’98, 200263

1969 NCAA TeamSometimes Lefty Driesell, the former

Davidson coach who guided the Wildcats tothe rarefied air of the nation’s Top 10 bas-ketball teams, sits in his beachfront house inVirginia Beach, Va., looking out at the oceanand wondering which of his manyDavidson basketball teams was his best.

Was it the brilliant 1964-65 team of FredHetzel, Don Davidson, Barry Teague, DickSnyder and other standouts that finishedthe season with 24 wins against only twolosses? It well could have been. SportsIllustrated picked Davidson number one inthe nation in the preseason. That team beatWake Forest twice by seven points eachtime, hammered Ohio State by 23, beatVirginia by 12, Alabama by 17, and domi-nated the tough Southern Conference,going unbeaten against the league in theregular season. It included two victoriesover conference rival West Virginia by nineand 23 points. What galls Driesell to thisday is that team, as splendid as it was, did-n’t even get a chance to play in the post-season when it lost by two points to West

Virginia in the conference tournamentchampionship game, a loss that broke a 23-game winning streak. The Wildcats wereranked sixth in the nation in the final pollof the season.

“That team was good enough to make aserious run at the national championship,”Driesell said recently. “It had everything:good shooters, excellent rebounders andscorers, good ball handlers, and we couldflat out play some defense.”

Or maybe it was Davidson’s 1968-69powerhouse team, which won 27 gamesand lost three, and was mere seconds awayfrom going to the NCAA Final Four. “Thisis the team that won more games than anyteam I coached at Davidson,” Driesell said,“so maybe it was the best we ever had.”

Certainly, a good case could be madefor it. The Wildcats finished third in thenation in the season’s final poll. It was ateam that had experience, depth, greatrebounding, scorers, excellent ball handlersand defensive stoppers.

In an effort to build his program andput it on a national stage, Driesell neverducked tough non-conference games.

The1968-69 team demonstrated the truth inthat statement, as it defeated Vanderbilt,South Carolina, Maryland, Texas,Michigan, Wake Forest, Duke andPrinceton. Again unbeaten in regular-sea-son conference play, the Wildcats had toprove it all over again in the conferencetournament, which it did by routing VMI,Richmond and East Carolina.

It was a veteran and gifted team thatDriesell took to the NCAA Tournament.Three juniors that came to Davidson in thesame recruiting class made up the startingfrontcourt: Mike Maloy, Doug Cook andJerry Kroll. They complemented each otherperfectly. Maloy was quicker than badnews and almost impossible to guard inthe post and keep off the offensive glass.He was a ferocious rebounder and shotblocker. Cook was competitive, tough,liked to get inside and bang for position,and he could score from the low block. Heand Maloy formed a rebounding tandemthat gave opponents fits. Kroll was more ofa finesse player, a player with savvy whocould score, defend and rebound, andnever lost his cool. The senior backcourtwas special, featuring Wayne Huckel, 6-3,at the two-guard, and Dave Moser, 6-1, atthe point. Those two had played on thevarsity together for three seasons and fitlike a hand in a glove. Two excellent seniorplayers — Mike O’Neill and Mike Spann— were available off the bench.

Davidson opened NCAA Tournamentplay with a 14-point win over Villanova.Then it was off to College Park, Md., for theEast Regionals. After defeating St. John’s,79-69, old nemesis North Carolina stoodbetween Davidson and the Final Four.Ironically, one of North Carolina’s stars wasCharlie Scott, a superstar who had verballycommitted to Davidson during his highschool recruitment but changed his mindand signed with North Carolina.

The game that ensued was befitting oftwo superpowers. Close the entire wayand heatedly contested, Davidson had theball with under a minute to play in a tiegame and was holding for the final shot.Kroll reversed his dribble near mid-court,and when he moved in the opposite direc-tion he collided with North Carolina’sGerald Tuttle, who had positioned himselfto take a charge, which was the official’scall. Possession to North Carolina.

In the North Carolina timeout huddle,coach DeanSmith told Scott,“They will belooking for youto take the finalshot, so bepatient, and ifyou see an openteammate, gethim the ball.”

Scott con-trolled the balland never intend-ed to give it up. It

was a final shotthat he later saidhe wantedbadly. With thescoreboard clockbeating down tozero, and thescore tied at 85,Scott got justinside the foulcircle, jumpedand fired.Nothing but net.The shot hadsuch importantmeaning to somany peoplethat some,includingDriesell, believeScott took theshot from deepon the court,from whatwould now bewell beyond the 3-point arc. Tapes of thegame, however, show that the winningshot was from about 18 feet, just inside thefoul circle. Whatever the recollections offans of both schools, everyone remembersScott’s great game when he led all scorerswith 32 points, which overshadowed thesuperb 13-rebound performance byDavidson’s Maloy.

As the North Carolina bench explodedwith joy on the home court of theMaryland Terps, Lefty Driesell dropped tohis knees in front of Davidson’s bench,buried his head in his hands and stayedthere for what seemed like an eternity. “Weplayed great, and it was a tough loss totake,” Driesell said. It was the second yearin a row that North Carolina had deniedDavidson a trip to the Final Four.

The 1968-69 Wildcats won more games(27) than any Davidson basketball team inhistory. So, was it Davidson’s best basket-ball team ever? “It could be,” Driesell said.“It won more games than any of my teamsthere. But some of my other teams werereally good, too, so it’s hard for me to say.”

The game with North Carolina turnedout to be Driesell’s last as Davidson’scoach. In the spring of 1969, he leftDavidson to accept the head coaching posi-tion at the University of Maryland.

1968 NCAA TeamDavidson’s 1967-68 Wildcats were an

exciting blend of youth and experience, acombination so lethal that it had coachLefty Driesell and the team’s fans thinkingof a trip to the NCAA Final Four.

Rodney Knowles, 6-9, was a seniorfrontcourt player who averaged 18.4 pointsand 12 rebounds as a junior, a season inwhich the rebuilding Wildcats won 15games and lost 12. Key returning playersfrom the 1966-67 team also included start-ing point guard Dave Moser (8.9 points),sharp-shooting wing Mike O’Neill (11.1points, 5.4 rebounds), the swashbucklingWayne Huckel, 6-3, who averaged 16.8points as a junior, and was so tough that hewore baseball sliding pads to help survivethe skid marks he received from diving onthe floor. Tom Youngdale (10.7 points), andMike Spann (5.5 points) also returned,among others.

Joining those talented players weresophomores Doug Cook, Mike Maloy andJerry Kroll (freshmen weren’t eligible toplay varsity basketball in this era).

As usual, the Wildcats under Drieselldidn’t dodge a fight. They played the likesof Michigan, Vanderbilt, Memphis State, St.Joseph’s, St. John’s, Temple, Wake Forestand Duke. It was a splendid team, defen-sively tough and one of relentless rebound-ers. Davidson, led by Maloy’s average of11.7 rebounds a game, out-reboundedopponents on a average of nine a game,and the stifling man-to-man defense thatDriesell drilled into his players each after-noon resulted in opponents shooting only39.8 percent for the season, as opposed toDavidson’s 49.4 percent.

Stopping the ’Cats on offense was acomplicated equation. Five players scoredin double figures, led by Maloy’s 15.6points, with Moser just out of double digitswith an 8.6-point average. Driesell was afirm believer in attacking inside with high

percentage shots, which resulted inDavidson taking 134 more foul shots thanits opponents.

Davidson went through the SouthernConference regular season with a record of9-1, and then won the conference tourna-ment to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.The ’Cats beat St. John’s in the NCAAopener, 79-70. It was off to ReynoldsColiseum in Raleigh for the East Regionals,where Davidson was to meet Columbia ofthe Ivy League and North Carolina was toplay unbeaten and third-ranked St.Bonaventure. North Carolina had a sur-prisingly easy time with Bob Lanier and St.Bonaventure (91-72) while Davidson ekedout a 61-59 overtime win over Columbia.

It set up a showdown between UNCand Davidson, a game Driesell had beenclamoring for publicly. North Carolinacoach Dean Smith had a policy that hewould not play in-state schools during theregular season other than the ones in theACC, and it galled Driesell, who accusedSmith of ducking him.

Reynolds Coliseum was filled to capaci-ty (12,600) on Saturday night, March 16,1968. A heavyweight battle was expectedby fans and the media, and one resulted.Smith’s philosophy was to play his benchand keep fresh players in the game. Tiredplayers could remove themselves from thegame and put themselves back in whenthey were rested. Driesell, on the otherhand, believed in playing his five startersand maybe one or two reserves. In thisgame, North Carolina played eight playersand Davidson six. Davidson’s starters of

Moser, Huckel, Maloy, Kroll and Knowleswere relieved by O’Neill, who scoredseven points and pulled five rebounds in asuperb performance.

It was scintillating game from the out-set. With the crowd roaring and oftenstanding, Davidson took the early leadbehind its defense and led at halftime, 34-28. UNC shot 39.4 percent in the first halfto Davidson’s 41.9 percent. However,North Carolina also prided itself on itsdefense, and while Driesell preferredstraight man-to-man, with no switching,North Carolina went with a defensivesmorgasbord of man-to-man, half-courttraps and a point zone. North Carolinaturned the tables in the second half, hold-ing Davidson to 29.4 percent shooting fromthe field while the Tar Heels connected on48.3 percent of its second-half shots.

North Carolina won the game, 70-66, forthe right to advance to the NCAA FinalFour. But it was a sensational battle, one sogood that an encore was needed. Moserand Maloy played all 40 minutes in thegame for Davidson, with Knowles going 39minutes. Four Wildcats scored in doublefigures, led by Maloy’s 18 points and 13rebounds. Knowles cashed in 12 reboundsas Davidson dominated the backboards,47-37.

Ironically, North Carolina’s two leadingscorers in the game, Rusty Clark (22 points,17 rebounds) and Charlie Scott (18 points,six rebounds), were recruited extensivelyby Driesell.

“People need to remember that theNCAA didn’t seed teams in those days,”Driesell said. “They kept you in your ownsection of the country. There were very fewgood teams in the West then and a bunchof good ones in the East. If the system hadbeen in place then that’s in use now,Davidson and North Carolina both wouldhave been No. 1 seeds. We wouldn’t havemet before the Final Four. It’s a shame thatwe did, because both of us had greatteams, in 1968 and 1969.”

Davidson ended its season with arecord of 24 wins, five losses. With somany talented players returning, the bestwas ahead, another great season thatwould result in yet another classic battlewith the team from Chapel Hill.

1966 NCAA TeamCoach Lefty Driesell believed that his

Davidson basketball team faced a mam-moth rebuilding in 1965-66, which wastrue. After all, the Wildcats had lost tograduation All-America and SouthernConference Player of the Year Fred Hetzelas well as stars Don Davidson and BarryTeague from the previous year’s team thatcompiled a record of 24-2. Hetzel scored2,032 points in his three varsity seasons,while Davidson was a tough defender anddouble-digit scorer and Teague was a tal-ented, reliable point guard. The three hadstarted for the Wildcats for three years andcatapulted Davidson into the national bas-ketball picture.

To continue on the national stage in 1966,Driesell would have to depend on threeinexperienced sophomores (freshmen werenot eligible to play varsity basketball inthose days.) But there was some good news,too. Some very good news. Back for his sen-ior season was Dick Snyder, one of thegreatest players in Davidson basketball his-tory. Snyder had averaged 15.9 points agame as a sophomore and 20.2 points as ajunior. In addition, he was one of the bestdefensive players in all of college basketball.

“I can’t think of a man I’d trade him for,”Driesell said before the start of the season.

But if Davidson were going to succeed,Snyder couldn’t do it alone. New faceswould have to step up. They included PhilSquier, 5-11, an inexperienced senior, andsophomores Rodney Knowles, 6-8, TomYoungdale, 6-10, and Bobby Lane, 6-3.

“We lacked experience, but those guyscertainly achieved a lot,”Driesell said.”

That they did.Davidson won seven of

its first eight, losing theopener to Wake Forest byone point before dropping afive-point decision to Navyin the Charlotte InvitationalTournament. The ’Catsentered the SouthernConference Tournamentwith a record of 17-5, mean-ing they would have to winthe tournament champi-onship in order to advanceto the NCAA tournament.They were up to the task,defeating conference rivalsThe Citadel, Richmond andWest Virginia.

That sent Driesell’s teamto the NCAA tournamentand a date with RhodeIsland, which Davidson woneasily, 95-65. Then it was offto the Eastern Regionals,where Syracuse defeatedDavidson 94-78. A consola-tion game to decide thirdplace was played in theregionals in those days andDavidson lost to St. Joseph’s,

92-76, to end its season.It was a good year, maybe even an over-

achieving one, as Davidson finished with21 wins and seven defeats. The Wildcatsaccomplished their mission of keepingDavidson basketball in the national spot-light, while giving Driesell time to load upwith more talent. “Twenty-one wins isabout as much as anyone could haveexpected from that team,” Driesell recalls.“They accomplished a lot.”

Snyder won All-America honors withan absolutely sensational season. Evenwith all opponents gunning for him andoften double-teaming him, he averaged26.9 points a game while shooting 56.3 per-cent from the field and 79.7 percent on hisfree throws. But offense was just part ofSnyder’s game. He pulled 9.2 rebounds agame, and was Davidson’s best defensiveplayer.

“He was an absolutely great defensiveplayer,” Driesell said. “I usually put himon the other team’s top scorer, and it wasnormal for him to hold the guy to 10points less than his season’s average.”

A master recruiter, Driesell said that thefather of one of his Davidson players, DonDavidson, had seen Snyder play a highschool football game in North Canton,Ohio.

“Mr. Davidson called me,” Driesellsaid, “and told me he saw this great quar-terback play, and the kid had jumped overa tackler in the open field on his way to atouchdown.”

Intrigued by a football athlete with suchspeed and jumping skills,Driesell was off to NorthCanton to recruit Snyder.Ranked as one of the besthigh school football quar-terbacks in the country,the big football schoolswere lined up to recruithim, including Ohio Stateand Notre Dame.

But on the recruitingtrail, Driesell took a backseat to no one, includingNotre Dame football. Heand Snyder had a greatvisit, the coach recalls,but Driesell said thatSnyder told him he wasgoing to the U.S. NavalAcademy.

“I gave him my tele-phone number and toldhim to call me if hechanged his mind,”Driesell said. Not longafterwards, Driesell gotthe call he coveted.Snyder, Driesell said, wascolor blind and couldn’tbe admitted to Annapolis.He wanted to come toDavidson and join thebasketball revolution.

“The day he signed with us,” Driesellsaid, “Notre Dame had people in his housetrying to talk him into playing football forthe Irish.”

Getting Snyder to come to Davidsonwas worth all the work that Driesell putinto it. He ended up as an All-American,the 1966 Southern Conference Player of theYear, and scored 1,703 points in just threeseasons of varsity basketball. He went onto an extremely successful career in theNBA. He held Oscar Robertson, who manypeople think is the best guard in the histo-ry of basketball, to 14 points in one NBAgame while scoring 14 himself. After thegame, Snyder said, “Playing defense in thepros hasn’t been an especially difficulttransition for me, because Coach Drieselltaught me how to play it at Davidson.”

While Snyder was the unquestionedleader and star, the 1965-66 Wildcats alsogot a sterling performance from sopho-more Knowles, who averaged 19.4 pointsand led the team with 9.9 rebounds. Fellowsophomores Youngdale and Lane bothaveraged 10.2 points a game, while seniorSquier scored 7.6 points a game. ThisDavidson team shot an impressive 51.2percent from the field while holding oppo-nents to 40.6 percent, and averaged 82.8points a game. Pretty impressive for arebuilding season.

It was a typical Driesell-coached team:competitive, tough and defensive-minded,with good shooters and led by a superstar.

They called Snyder “super horse” atDavidson. He was that and more, one ofthe greatest players ever to wear the redand black. “He was special, that’s forsure,” said Driesell.

For good measure, Snyder also starredin baseball for the Wildcats.

“When it came to athletics,” Driesellsaid, “Dick could do just about anythinghe wanted to. That even included riding abicycle better than anybody else.”

Year-by-Year Coaching Records

Norman Shepard169-120 1937-49Shepard held coaching ranks at Davidson for12 seasons while also assuming the positionof athletic director at the college. Shepardwas active in basketball since his college daysat Davidson and North Carolina where hereceived his bachelor’s degree. As coach ofthe Wildcats, Shepard’s win total of 169 hasonly been surpassed by Lefty Driesell andcurrent coach Bob McKillop. Prior toDavidson, Shepard coached at UNC and in1924 led an undefeated team to 25 consecu-tive wins and a recognized national champi-onship.

Lefty Driesell176-65 1960-69Driesell might very well be the most recog-nized coach in Davidson basketball history.Coming from the high school coaching rankswhere his teams at Newport News posted arecord of 64-6 — including a 57-game winningstreak and a state championship — Driesellwas determined to put Davidson on thenational map. As it turned out, he coachedthree of Davidson’s five All-Americans, ledthe Wildcats to their highest national ranking,took the ’Cats to the Elite Eight on two consec-utive occasions and won SoCon Coach of theYear an unprecedented four straight times.

Athletics at Davidson College representone aspect of a vigorous, vibrant liberalarts education, designed for highly-moti-vated and qualified students. ManyDavidson students are scholar-athletes,long a tradition at this college. Nearly one-quarter of Davidson’s 1,700 students areDivision I athletes, and most others areinvolved in intramural sports. This interestin physical as well as mental discipline isan index of the energy and excellence thatcharacterizes Davidson College.

The college’s abiding goal is expressedin its statement of purpose: “The primarypurpose of Davidson College is to assiststudents in developing humane instinctsand disciplined and creative minds forlives of leadership and service.” Studentsmove through a traditional liberal arts pro-gram that has been responsive to changewith additions to the curriculum of pro-grams such as medical humanities andgender studies, among others.

Davidson has a tradition of educatingleaders and training creative minds tothink critically. Students learn alongsideone another from a superb faculty ofteacher-scholars, whose first priority is theclassroom. Here they receive a sound liber-al arts background as preparation forcareers in healthcare, the law, banking,management, politics, government service,the ministry, teaching, social science andthe arts. Within five years of graduation,the majority of Davidson alumni havereturned to school for postgraduate study.

Community is key to the Davidsonexperience, and the remarkable and consis-tent success of Davidson alumni may berooted in the reverence for values andcommitment to service that permeate thecampus ethic. One way Davidson pro-

motes such ideals is through its honor sys-tem, one of the most distinctive aspects ofcampus life. The benefits of the trustinstilled by the Honor Code are many:exams are self-scheduled; tests and reviewsare unproctored; the library operates with-out a security check; and the studentHonor Council arbitrates alleged HonorCode offenses.

More than one-quarter of all Davidsonstudents study for a term or a year abroad.Davidson sponsors Junior Year Abroad pro-grams in France and Germany. In addition,there are programs available in England,France, India, Spain, Mexico, Cyprus,Ghana, Greece and Italy.

Davidson College’s 16th president,Robert F. Vagt ’69, began his tenure as col-lege president on July 1, 1997, succeedingJohn W. Kuykendall ’59.

Vagt graduated from Davidson with apsychology degree in 1969, then earned amaster’s degree in divinity from DukeUniversity. He was ordained to the min-istry by Concord Presbytery, the presbyterythat founded Davidson College in 1837.Though he chose not to pastor a church, hehas maintained his ordination and continu-ally been involved in the Presbyterianchurches where he lived as parish associ-ate, with a primary responsibility for youthprograms.

Vagt’s career has included work as adirector of clinical programs in theNorthwest Alabama Mental Health Centerand as executive director for the MunicipalAssistance Corporation for the City of NewYork from 1979-80 to help save that cityfrom bankruptcy. Since 1980 he has helpedlead international oil and gas exploration

and production compa-nies in Houston. Mostrecently, he was chair-man, president and chiefoperating officer atSeagull Energy Corp.,including numerousinternational ventures.

Vagt is very active oncampus, particularly atathletic events. From football to field hock-ey, men’s basketball to women’s lacrosse,he is one of Davidson’s most vocal sup-porters. If his schedule allows it, he willfind a way to root on the ’Cats.

He and his wife, Ruth Anne, met as col-lege students when he was at Davidson andshe was at Queens College in Charlotte.Their daughter Ashley graduated fromDavidson in 1995, and Lindsey was a mem-ber of the class of 2001. Ruth Anne serveson the Queens Board of Visitors.

Southern ConferenceThe Southern

Conference, whichenters its 85th season ofintercollegiate competi-tion in 2005, has becomeknown as one of thenation’s leaders inemphasizing the devel-opment of the student-athlete and defining theleague’s role in helpingto build lifelong leadersand role models.

The Southern Conference has excelled asthe premier Division I-AA football confer-ence since earning that classification in1981. The Conference currently consists of11 members in four states throughout theSoutheast and sponsors 19 varsity sportsand championships that produce partici-pants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference is the nation’sfifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate ath-letic association. Only the Big Ten (1896),Missouri Valley (1907), Pacific 10 (1915)and Southwestern Athletic (1920) confer-ences are older in terms of origination.

Throughout its history, the SouthernConference has been an innovator in col-lege athletics. The Southern Conferencewas the first “super conference” with itscharter membership including the likes ofAlabama, Auburn and North Carolina. TheSoCon is the league that gave birth to thethree-point shot in college basketball andwas the college home of such sportinggreats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West andCharlie “Choo Choo” Justice.

Academic excellence has been a majorpart of the Southern Conference’s tradition.League athletes have been recognizedcountless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19Rhodes Scholarship winners have beenselected from the conference.

The Southern Conference office is locat-ed in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg,S.C. A textile mill that was in operationfrom 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Millwas renovated in 2004 and today offers theSoCon a first class meeting area as well asa spacious library for storage of the confer-ence’s historical documents.

Membership HistoryThe Southern Conference was formed on

February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta,Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-mem-ber Southern Intercollegiate AthleticAssociation (SIAA) reorganized as theSouthern Conference. Those charter mem-bers included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson,Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland,Mississippi State, North Carolina, NorthCarolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, VirginiaTech and Washington & Lee. Athletic com-petition began in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools — Florida,Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina,Tulane and Vanderbilt — joined the fold. Ayear later, the University of the South joined

the ranks. Virginia Military Institute becamea member in 1925 and Duke Universitycame into the fold in 1929. Since then, con-ference membership has experienced aseries of membership changes with 42 insti-tutions having been affiliated with theleague. The league has undergone twomajor transitions during its history.

The first occurred in December 1932when the Southeastern Conference wasformed out of the 23-school SouthernConference. The league’s 13 members westand south of the Appalachian Mountainsreorganized to help reduce the extensivetravel demands that were present in theleague at the time. In 1936, the SouthernConference invited The Citadel, William &Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond andWake Forest to join the membership.

The second major shift happened in1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland,North Carolina, North Carolina State,South Carolina and Wake Forest officiallywithdrew from the league to form theAtlantic Coast Conference. This changewas brought about due to the desire ofmany of those schools to schedule a greaternumber of regular season basketball gamesagainst their local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrivewith a membership that spans fourSoutheastern states. Current league mem-bers are Appalachian State, College ofCharleston, Chattanooga, The Citadel,Davidson, Elon, Furman, GeorgiaSouthern, UNC Greensboro, WesternCarolina and Wofford. The most recentaddition, Elon University, joined the leagueon July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced VMIwhich left the conference on June 30, 2003.East Tennessee State, which joined in 1978,left the conference following the conclu-sion of the 2004-05 academic year.

BasketballMen’s basketball was the first sport in

which the conference produced a champi-onship. The league tournament is thenation’s oldest, with the inaugural champi-onship held in Atlanta in 1922.

Not only was the SouthernConference Tournamentthe first of its kind, theleague also helpedchange the face of col-lege basketball in 1980when, at the request ofthe NCAA RulesCommittee, the leaguebegan a season-longexperiment with a 22-foot three-point field goal.Ronnie Carr of WesternCarolina made the first three-point field goal in college basketballhistory in a game against MiddleTennessee State.

Another college basketball tradition thatoriginated in the SoCon is the traditionalcutting of the nets by the winning team.According to USA Today, the practice of

net cutting originated in 1947 with NorthCarolina State head coach Everett Case. Asa first-year head coach with the Wolfpack,Case led State to the SoCon Tournamenttitle with a 50-48 win over archrival NorthCarolina. To commemorate the event, Casecelebrated by claiming the nets as a sou-venir of the win.

The Southern Conference has alsobeen a breeding ground for some of collegeathletics’ most recognized coaches andadministrators.

Lefty Driesell, most recently the headcoach at Georgia State, coached Davidsonto three Southern Conference Tournamentchampionships in 1966, 1968 and 1969.Driesell also won the league’s Coach-of-the-Year award four straight times from1963 through 1966.

Terry Holland saw his basketball coach-ing career take off at Davidson when hereturned to his alma mater in 1970.Holland was honored as the SouthernConference Coach-of-the-Year for threeconsecutive seasons from 1970-72 and ledthe Wildcats to the conference tournamenttitle and an appearance in the NCAATournament in 1970. Holland later ledVirginia to the Final Four in 1984. After hiscoaching career concluded, Hollandreturned to the Southern Conference as theathletic director at Davidson from 1990-1995 before accepting the same position atVirginia and now at East Carolina.

LeadershipEntering the 2005 football campaign,

Geoff Cabe serves as the SouthernConference’s interim commissioner. Amember of the conference staff since 1988,Cabe has been involved in every facet ofthe SoCon’s operation. Since 2002, he hasbeen senior associate commissioner wherehis duties have included serving as theexecutive producer for all of the SoCon’schampionship events and coordinator ofall external relationships for the confer-ence. Cabe previously headed up theleague’s media relations department (1991-

95) and its championships area(1995-99) and has been both an

assistant commissionerand associate commis-sioner.

Cabe, now in his sec-ond term as the interimcommissioner, replacedDanny Morrison whoserved as commissionerfrom November 13, 2001until June 15, 2005.Morrison recentlybecame the director of

athletics at Texas ChristianUniversity.

The Southern Conference named its firstcommissioner in December 1950. Dukehead football coach Wallace Wade madethe transition from Blue Devil footballcoach to athletics administration as the firstperson at the helm of the conference.
