SEAWOLF BASKETBALLA Tradition of SuccessOver the years, the University of Alaska Anchorage Men’s Basketball program has become synonymous with success – 22 winning seasons, 12 NCAA Division II Tournaments, 45 victories over Division I teams. Now new head coach Rusty Osborne and his staff faces the chal-lenge of improving upon that record. In their 28 seasons, the Seawolves have won at a 68 percent clip against Division II opponents, while also posting victories over such D-I powers as Wake Forest, Michigan (in its NCAA title season), Texas and Washington. Since 1984, UAA has produced nine All-Americans and advanced as far as the 1988 NCAA Division II title game. And when the Seawolves take the court, Anchorage’s fans take notice, filling the 8,700-seat Sullivan Arena every Thanksgiving for theCarrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, and packing the 1,250-seat Wells Fargo Sports Complex for regular-season games. With one of the most dynamic, young coaching staffs in college basketball and a talent-packed roster, the Seawolves seem poised to write the next chapter of success at UAA.

ASSOC. HEAD COACHShane RinnerEducation:B.A.,Education, BiolaUniversity,1994Phone:907-786-4808Email:rinner@uaa.alaska.edu

Anchorage native Shane Rinner begins his fourth year on the Seawolf men’s basket-ball staff in 2006-07, his third in the role of associate head coach. The program’s chief recruiter, Rinner came to UAA as an assistant in 2003-04 and has been instrumental in helping the Seawolves to 50 victories and a pair of NCAA Tournament berths. A former all-state high school player at Anchorage Christian School, Rinner has previous coaching experience at the NCAA Division I, NAIA, junior college and professional levels. From 1994-96, he coached at his alma mater, NAIA Biola (Calif.) University, and returned there for a second stint from 2000-02. From 1996-98, he coached at Division I Liberty University in Virginia, before moving on to Marshalltown (Iowa) Junior College in 1998-99. In 1999-2000, he was the head coach for the Glostrup Giants in Copenhagen, Denmark. Rinner played two seasons at Biola, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1994. He also played two seasons at Southwestern (Calif.) Junior College. He and his wife Amanda, a former vol-leyball player at Fresno State, were married in summer 2005.

ASSISTANT COACHBryan WeakleyEducation:B.S.,Physical Education,Biola,2002Phone:907-786-1286Email:weaks@uaa.alaska.edu

Bryan Weakley enters his third season as an assistant coach with the Seawolf men’s basketball staff in 2006-07. His duties include player development, recruiting, conditioning and weight training, monitor-ing academics and organizing camps and clinics. A former NAIA All-American at Biola (Calif.) University, Weakley spent the 2003-04 season in England, serving as head coach at Middlesex University and a devel-opmental coach with the London Towers of the British Basketball League. At Middlesex, he coached and played in 30 games, lead-ing the team to an undefeated record and the school’s first-ever BUSU National Tournament title. Weakley was a two-time team captain at Biola, where the Eagles made four straight NAIA national tournaments, including a 2000 Final Four appearance, and went 109-27 from 1998-2002. He scored 1,322 career points and left as BU’s all-time leader in three-pointers with 236. Weakley earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Biola in 2002, with a minor in Biblical studies. He hails from Columbus, Ohio, where he was an all-state player at Worthington Christian High School.

HEAD COACHRusty Osborne

Education:B.S.,Education, UniversityofTexas,1988; M.A.,EducationalAdmin. SWTexasState,1990Phone:907-786-1042Email:coachoz@uaa.alaska.edu

Fresh on the heels of another NCAA Tournament appearance – his first as head coach – Rusty Osborne is looking for even bigger things for the Seawolf program as he embarks on his third year at the helm. Under Osborne’s leadership last year, UAA went 19-12, including victories over NCAA Div. I power Southern Illinois and three top-25 Div. II teams. The Seawolves also ranked second in the nation in free throw shooting and in the top two in the country in three-point shooting for the sec-ond time in three seasons. Osborne was a UAA assistant from 1991-2004, during which time the Seawolves won more than 70 percent of their games against non-Division I competition and made five trips to the NCAAs. He was responsible for the recruitment of five All-Americans, 12 All-West Region play-ers, 28 all-conference performers and five league Players of the Year. In addition, 14 of his players have gone on to play profes-sional basketball in the U.S. and abroad. During his tenure, players who complet-ed their eligibility at UAA have a graduation rate of over 85 percent and have earned numerous academic honors. “Rusty’s best quality is that he has always had the respect of the players,” said for-mer head coach Harry Larrabee, who hired Osborne at UAA in 1991. “He is firm, yet fair, a communicator and a motivator, but also a listener. And Rusty strongly empha-sizes the importance of graduation.” Before coming to UAA, Osborne spent three seasons (1988-91) as an assistant at Southwest Texas State and one year at Hyde Park Baptist High School in Austin, Texas. He has been involved in many clinics throughout Alaska, including Barrow, Point Hope, Kodiak, Nuiqsut, Tyonek, Kenai and Kotzebue. Osborne and his wife Staci are the par-ents of five children – sons Sagan (13), Austin (11) and Kylan (8), and daughters Jalyn (6) and Kadyn (3).

Seawolf Coaching Staff

“Rusty represents the highest qualities you can seek in a basketball coach. His dedication to work is what makes him top-notch. He is able to communicate with today’s players, and parents will be satisfied with him and his approach.”– Del Harris, NBA coach
