2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW After back-to-back 20-win seasons and the programs first Colonial Athletic Association Regular Season Championship since 1998, the Tribe returns a talented and deep roster that once again has its sights set on winning a league championship. Seniors Terry Tarpey and Sean Sheldon as well as juniors Omar Prewitt and Daniel Dixon give W&M a core group of four upperclassmen, all returning starters, to lead a roster that includes 10 returning letterwinners. The group is part of a foundation that led to W&M posting the most wins in the Colonial Athletic Association over the last two seasons and garnering the programs third postseason berth in 2015. Included in the group of returning starters is a dynamic trio of Tarpey, Dixon and Prewitt that averaged double-digits last season. Prewitt is one of the top-returning scorers in the CAA and was a third team all-league selection a season ago, while Tarpey enjoyed an outstanding junior campaign that included the CAA Defensive Player of the Year award. Tarpey is one of the most complete returning players in the country. After a breakout season in 2015, Dixon is primed for a leading role. Ranking among the top five in the country in 3-point shooting, he provides the Tribe with a multi-dimensional guard that can dominate opponents on both ends of the floor. Sheldon is W&Ms rock in the post and gives the Green and Gold a different level of toughness. Along with the returning starters, the Tribe welcomes back five other players who saw significant and valuable minutes as freshmen in 2014-15.

While the only loss from the Tribes starting lineup came in the backcourt and the position may have not have the marquee name it had over the last four seasons, the Green and Gold returns a significant amount of depth at the position and adds an immediate impact player. Marcus Thornton graduated as the programs all-time leading scorer and was selected in the NBA Draft, but the amount of talent and number of players who will contribute has increased significantly at the guard spot. Headlining the Tribes backcourt in 2015-16 is junior Daniel Dixon, who has demonstrated the ability to impact the game on both ends of the court. After Dixon, the battle for minutes will be intense among a quartet of sophomores in Connor Burchfield, David Cohn, Michael Schlotman and Oliver Tot. Dixon ranked fourth on the team last season averaging 11.1 points per game and developed a reputation as a marksman from long range. He finished the 2014-15 campaign shooting 45.1 percent from 3-point range, which ranked fifth in the country and second all-time in Tribe history. Dixon canned 73 3-pointers in 28 games and had a flair for the dramatic. He turned in an impressive 20-point effort on the road at nationally-ranked North Carolina during the non-conference slate last season, before recording a career-high 25 in a win at James Madison in late January. Dixon set a Tribe school record, going a perfect 6-of-6 from 3-point range in a home win over Hofstra, but the biggest play to date of his W&M career came in the CAA Tournament semifinals against the Pride. With W&M trailing 91-89, Dixon hit a 3-pointer from the left baseline with just 0.5 seconds to send the Green and Gold to its second-straight championship game appearance. Along with his long-range shooting ability, Dixon used the off-season to sharpen his ball-handling skills and improve his versatility as a scorer. The 6-6 guard also possesses the ability to be a lockdown defender with his length and speed. Burchfield, Schlotman and Tot each made impacts during their rookie campaigns in various roles. When Dixon went down with a injury late in the season, Burchfield earned reserve minutes at the shooting guard position, and showed flashes of his exceptional shooting touch. In total, he appeared in 18 games, but made his biggest contributions playing in each of the final 10 games, averaging nearly 10 minutes per game. Burchfield averaged 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game, while shooting an impressive 37 percent from 3-point range. In a home victory over Elon and then the Tribes CAA Quarterfinal win over the Phoenix, the Concord, N.C., native provided a big scoring lift in key moments. In the first half of both contests, Burchfield canned a pair of 3-pointers in a short stretch to extend W&Ms advantage to double digits. He also demonstrated his deep range in the NIT First Round at Tulsa beating the shot clock with a deep 3-pointer. At the point guard position, Schlotman, Tot and Cohn will not only battle for the starting position but also for extended minutes. Both Schlotman and Tot started games at the point in 2014-15, showing flashes of future success for the Green and Gold. Standing 6-5 and 6-6, respectively, the duo provides W&M with unique size at the point guard position, creating a number of potential issues for opponents on both the offensive and defensive ends. Cohn sat out last season after transferring to W&M from Colorado State.

2015-16 SEASON PREVIEW A CAA All-Academic Team selection in 2015, Schlotman is a cerebral point guard, who excels at getting others involved. After missing all but two games of his true freshman campaign and receiving a medical redshirt, he appeared in 24 games last season, including his first career start at Northeastern. Schlotman enjoyed a healthy off-season and is in the best shape of his Tribe career. Along his with exceptional passing ability, the Tribe coaching staff has pushed Schlotman to be more assertive on the offensive end and in the early part of practice, his confidence has grown as a result. Like Schlotman, Tot also appeared in 24 games in 2014-15, averaging 1.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The 6-6 point guard made a pair of starts when Dixon missed time due to injury and also turned in a couple of memorable performances. During the Tribes Gold Rush win over Northeastern, Tot scored five big second-half points at a critical juncture, including a fast-break dunk that brought the Tribe faithful to its feet. After the Huskies had cut a double-digit W&M lead to two in the second half, Tot knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing to ignite a Tribe run and put NU away. In the Green and Golds 100-79 win over Hofstra at home, he turned in a career-best performance with eight points and five assists. Known for his combo guard skills coming out of high school, Cohn played his freshman season at Colorado State in 2013-14 and saw significant playing time. He appeared in 31 games, making five starts and averaging 15 minutes per contest. Cohn scored a career-high 15 points against UCCS and Prairie View A&M and finished his freshman campaign averaging 3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, while dishing out 29 assists and notching 12 steals. Cohn will be one of the Tribes top playmakers as he is a scorer with elite speed at the point guard position. During his time at Colorado State, Cohn shot 35.6 percent from 3-point range and 79.2 percent from the free-throw line. Sophomore Jamison Glover adds depth to the position and will continue to push others at the position. He plays with reckless abandon and a motor that never stops firing at a high gear. He appeared in five games as a reserve last season and averaged 2.8 points per contest. Glover connected on 10-of-13 from the free throw line in his limited action.

Like the guard position, the wing position is another spot stocked with talent and a number of interchangeable parts that allows the Tribe to throw a variety of looks at its opponents. W&M returns one of the top scorers in the CAA at the wing position in junior Omar Prewitt, who was one of only two W&M players along with Thornton to start all 33 games in 2014-15. Sophomore Greg Malinowski was a key part of the Tribes rotation as a rookie in 2014-15 and will push for even more minutes in his second season on campus. Along with those players, both senior Terry Tarpey, who has started at both the wing and forward positions during his career, and Dixon can provide minutes at the 3 position for the Green and Gold. Last season, Prewitt ranked 10th in the league at 13.5 points per game on his way to earning All-CAA third team honors. A preseason Second-Team All-CAA pick, Prewitt can score in a variety of ways and from a variety of angles. Twice in 2014-15, he tallied 30 or more points, including a career-high 33 in W&Ms double overtime win over Hofstra in the CAA semifinals. He earned CAA All-Tournament Team honors for his efforts. Along with his output in the CAA Tournament, Prewitt had a flair for stepping his game up at the right moment as he averaged nearly 15 points per game in league play. Standing 6-7, Prewitt is a match-up problem for Tribe opponents as he adds the ability to score off the dribble to his long-range marksmanship. The Mount Sterling, Ky., native is also an adept passer, ranking among the CAA leaders last season at 2.5 helpers per game. In fact, he ranked among the league leaders in eight statistical categories, including among the top 15 in both field goal and 3-point percentages. Prewitt turned in his first career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds in the NIT at Tulsa and finished the year second on the team in rebounding at 4.4 per game. In just two years on campus, he ranks among the Tribes career leaders in 3-pointers made, 3-point percentage and blocked shots. Prewitt is also W&M active leading scorer at 809 points and will eventually become the 38th player in school history to score 1,000 points. During his rookie campaign, Malinowski carved out a role as the Tribes top scorer and shooter off the bench. He played in all 33 games, joining Prewitt and Thornton as the only W&M players to do so, while making four starts. He averaged 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game, while shooting an impressive 46.8 percent from 3-point range and ranking fourth on the team with 29 3-pointers made. Malinowski was even better in CAA play, connecting on 52.6 percent from 3-point range. He also garnered a CAA Rookie of the Week award during the league slate. Malinowski was one of the Tribes top performers over the summer, only strengthening an already loaded position on the Tribe roster. He added muscle and currently stands at 6-6. His physical gifts and athleticism coupled with his shooting touch make him an idea fit for the Tribes style of play. Twice during the CAA slate in 2014-15, Malinowski poured in double-digit efforts, scoring 11 points in victories over Towson and Hofstra.

W&M senior captains Terry Tarpey and Sean Sheldon are both returning starters at the forward position. A two-year starter, Tarpey is one of the top returning players in the CAA after earning second team all-league honors and the conferences defensive player of the year honor a season ago. Sheldon may not garner the headlines of his classmate, but his presence in the lineup has been a key to the Tribes success over the last two years. There is no shortage of depth at the forward spot either as sophomore Jack Whitman returns after playing a key reserve role in 2014-15. W&M also had a pair of talent freshmen at the position in redshirt Paul Rowley and rookie Hunter Seacat. A preseason First-Team All-CAA selection, Tarpey has garnered a lot of notoriety in the offseason following an exceptional junior season. Bleacher Report released a top-20 list ranking the Most Complete Players for the 2015-16 College Basketball Season, and the Tribe senior came in sixth on the list littered with players from Power 5 programs. During each of his three seasons, Tarpeys statistics have gone up to the point he finished his junior campaign at nearly 12 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He also improved his shooting percentage to 34 percent from 3-point range and 82.4 from the free throw line last season. Standing 6-5, Tarpey led the CAA in rebounding a season ago and is on pace to move into the W&M all-time top five. He also ranks 43rd nationally among active players at 574 career rebounds. A coachs dream, Tarpey is a stat-sheet stuffer as he finished 2014-15 as the only player in Division I to average at least 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists, a blocked shot and a steal per game. On Jan. 10, 2015, Tarpey became the first player in W&M history to record a triple-double finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a win over James Madison. He turned in 10 double-doubles last season, the most at W&M since 1992-93, including a pair of 20-point, 10-rebound efforts.

After serving as the top reserve in the post as a sophomore in 2013-14, Sheldon made a seamless transition into at starting role and was vital to the Tribes success. He averaged 6.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, while turning in an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio for a bigman at 2.2. Sheldon possesses exceptional passing ability from the post, averaging 2.2 assists per game. He started 29 of his 31 appearances, missing two games due to injury, and shot a team-best 64.6 percent from the floor. Sheldon is a strong post player, weighing in at 252 pounds, the heaviest on the Tribe roster, and standing 6-9. He enjoyed the best game of his W&M career, pouring in 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting against First-Team All-CAA forward Scott Eatherton in the Tribes Gold Rush victory over Northeastern. Sheldon turned in a number of strong performances during his junior campaign, including his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Elon. After redshirting in 2013-14, Whitman appeared in 28 games as a reserve for the Green and Gold in 2014-15. He finished the year averaging 2.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Whitman, who is W&Ms most athletic player in the post, adapted well to the college game in his first season and turned in a couple of solid performance off the bench. With Sheldon out due to injury against Hofstra, Whitman scored a career-high nine points on 4-of-5 from the field to go with four rebounds in a win. He played a key roll in W&Ms 22-point rally to pull out a victory over UNCW, scoring six points during the run off the bench. He pulled down a career-high seven rebounds on the road at Big South Champion High Point during the non-conference slate. Despite missing time over the summer, while recovering from offseason surgery, Whitman will battle for minutes at the 5 spot. Rowley and Seacat will push for playing time in 2015-16. Rowley redshirted in 2014-15 after missing time with injury. He is one of the Tribes top shooters and his range from the forward position will stretch the floor. Rowley worked to add weight to his frame during his redshirt season and over the summer. He is a skilled bigman with a high basketball IQ, fitting the mold for the Tribes system at the forward spot. Rowley possessed a number of impressive credentials coming to W&M. He was rated a three-star recruit by Rivals.com along with garnering First Team All-State and Second Team Washington Post All-Met honors. Even as a true freshman, Seacat has the physical tools and strength to play at the college level. At 6-9, he is an imposing presence due to his size at 235 pounds. A heralded player in the prep ranks of North Carolina, Seacat will push Sheldon and Whitman, making the post position strong for the Green and Gold. Seacat was an Associated Press North Carolina All-State pick at Lake Norman, averaging 18.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. He possesses a 7-foot wing span, giving W&M an added defensive dimension.

HEAD COACH TONY SHAVER

When Tony Shaver accepted the head coaching position at William & Mary in May of 2003, he set his sights on making the Tribe a championship-contending program. Fast-forward to the present, the two-time CAA Coach of the Year and National Mid-Major Coach of the Year finalist has led a revival of the Green and Gold program, including the Tribes first CAA regular season Championship in 17 years during the 2014-15 campaign. Over the last eight seasons under Shaver, W&M has produced three of its eight 20-win seasons and advanced to the CAA Championship game on four occasions, a first in program history. Twice in the last six seasons, he led the program to berths in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), only the second and third postseason bids in program history. Shaver is W&Ms all-time winningest head coach with 156 victories over his 12 seasons on the Green and Gold sidelines. In his 29 years as a collegiate head coach, he is one of the winningest active coaches in college basketball. Over his career, Shaver-coached teams have won 20 or more games during 15 seasons and advanced to the post season on 13 occasions. Shaver entered 2015-16 ranked 20th among active Division I head coach with 514 career victories. He became the 86th Division I head coach to win 500 games in 2014. Shaver possesses four of the top nine single-season win totals in Tribe history and two of the top three road win totals. In 2014-15, W&M won 20 games for the second straight season, marking the first time in 64 years that the Tribe produced back-to-back 20-win campaigns. The Tribe was also seeded No. 1 in the CAA Tournament for the first time in school history last season. One of the greatest players in W&M history, Marcus Thornton wrapped up his decorated Tribe career in 2015. He became the first CAA Player of the Year in program lore along with being named an Associated Press All-American. Thornton, who became the schools all-time leading scorer, topping the oldest mark in Division I, was a second round pick (45th overall) of the Boston Celtics in the 2015 NBA Draft. Thornton was one of a school-record three Tribe players to earn All-CAA honors in 2015, along with Terry Tarpey and Omar Prewitt. W&M players have received a total of 16 All-CAA under Shaver, while another eight have been named to the CAA All-Rookie Team. Along with the first CAA Player of the Year in 2015, Tarpey became the programs first CAA Defensive Player of the Year, making W&M the fifth school in CAA history to win both awards in the same season. Along with the teams success on the court, Shaver was recognized for his integrity off it. He was named a finalist by CollegeInsider.com for the 2015 Skip Prosser Man of the Year, presented annually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who also display moral integrity off of it as well. In 2014, Omar Prewitt became the second Tribe freshman under Shaver to earn CAA Rookie of the Year honors. The major awards have been academically as well for Shaver-coached teams with four Tribe players being named to the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year, including Adam Hess, a 2004 graduate, who was named the CAA Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year (for all sports) and was a First-Team Academic All-American in 2004. In five of the last six years, a W&M student-athlete received the CAAs prestigious Dean Ehlers Leadership Award, which is given to the student-athlete who embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity and sportsmanship in conjunction with his academic athletic achievement. David Schneider won the award in 2010, while Quinn McDowell became the first-ever two-time winner of the honor in 2011 and 2012. In 2014, Tim Rusthoven earned the distinction to go along with being an NABC Allstate Good Works Team nominee. Last season, Tom Schalk added the programs fifth award. In 2012, McDowell became the first CAA mens basketball student-athlete to be named one of 10 finalists for the Lowes Senior CLASS Award on his way to Lowes Senior CLASS Second-Team All-America honors. The Shaver-led Tribe posted a 20-win season in 2013-14, coming to the brink of a CAA Championship once again. During the year, W&M picked up a road win at American Athletic Conference (AAC) foe Rutgers along with knocking off instate rival Old Dominion for the third straight time, the longest win streak in the series history for W&M. The Green and Gold totaled eight road wins on the year, which ranks third in Tribe history. W&M posted double-digit CAA victories, going 10-6 in 2013-14. The Tribe finished third in the final CAA standings, before ripping off tournament wins over the College of Charleston, 70-59, and No. 2 seed Towson, 75-71, to earn a spot in the Championship. W&M fell in heartbreaking fashion, coming up just shy of the programs first NCAA Tournament bid as a Delaware bucket with just over 12 seconds remaining gave the Blue Hens a 75-74 victory. Shavers offense has been running at a high-level, ranking among the best in the country. W&M is one of only three schools (along with Gonzaga and Belmont) to rank among the top 30 nationally in field goal percentage, including ranking 14th in 2014-15, each of the last three

HEAD COACH TONY SHAVERseasons. In both 2013-14 and 2014-15, W&M shot nearly 40 percent from 3-point range and is one of only six schools to rank among the top 15 in the country during both campaigns. The Green and Gold was sixth in 2013-14 at 39.9 percent, before coming in 12th last season at 39.8 percentage. According to the website KenPom.com, the Tribes effective field goal percentage ranked sixth in the country in both 2013-14 and 2014-15. Effective field goal percentage is the same as regular field goal percentage, but gives a team more credit for made 3-point field goals. In each of the last two years, W&M bettered the school record for points in a season. The Tribe averaged better than 73 points per game in both 2013-14 and 2014-15, marking the first time they have accomplished that feat since 1959-60 and 1960-61. In 2014-15, W&M ranked 43rd nationally in scoring at 73.2 points per game, which was the highest for the team since 1995-96. The Tribe has developed a reputation under Shaver as a team that shares the ball well with a propensity to shoot from 3-point range. During each of the last nine seasons, the Tribe connected on 200 or more 3-pointers and is averaging 247 per year. In fact, the Green and Gold produced three of the top five 3-point totals in CAA history in 2010 (295), 2014 (281) and 2015 (293). According to KenPom.com, W&M has ranked among the top 53 nationally in both percentage of points from 3-pointers and percentage of field goal attempts coming from 3-point range during each of the last eight years. On five occasions over that stretch, W&M has ranked among the top 25 nationally in percentage of points coming from 3-pointers, including ranking 15th in 2013-14. In seven of the past eight seasons, the Tribe dished out 400 or more assists, producing six of the top 10 single-season totals in W&M history. According to KenPom.com, the Green and Gold has ranked among the top 50 nationally in assist percentage in five of the last eight years. Also offensively according to the Web site, the Tribe ranked among the top 75 nationally in adjusted offensive rating on four occasions over the last six years, including a program-best 27th nationally in 2014-15. In 2013, Shaver became the Tribes all-time wins leader, following the Green and Golds 74-62 win at Old Dominion on Feb. 16. During the 2012-13 campaign, the Green and Gold swept Hampton Roads rival Old Dominion, which marked the first time since 1998 and just the third time that W&M won both games of a season series from the Monarchs. Under Shaver, the Tribe has peaked at the right time of year during the conference tournament. Prior to his arrival in 2004, W&M had just two CAA Tournament wins in 18 years as a member of the league. During Shavers 12 seasons, the Tribe owns 11 CAA Tournament victories and the programs first four championship game appearances. In fact, since 2008, W&M leads all CAA programs with 10 league tournament victories. For the second time in the three seasons, Shaver was named the CAA Coach of the Year in 2010 by a vote of the league coaches, SIDs and media, while also being named a finalist for the CollegeInsider.com Hugh Durham Mid-Major Coach of the Year. Shaver received National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 10 and Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) State Coach of the Year honors as well, while leading the Tribe to an impressive 22-11 record and the programs second CAA Championship Game appearance in three seasons. Under Shavers direction, the Tribe set or equaled a number of school records in 2009-10 and achieved milestones that few Mid-Major programs in America have accomplished. W&M ranked ninth nationally with a school-record 10 road wins. The College also tied program bests with a 10-game winning streak, the longest at the institution since 1929-30, and the best start in school history at 14-3. W&M received votes in both the ESPN/USA Today and Associated Press National Top 25 polls for seven straight weeks, marking the first votes for the Tribe in more than 30 years. The Tribe also garnered its first-ever CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 ranking. W&M was ranked in each of the final 15 weeks, including a high of No. 8, before finishing the year at No. 20. The Tribe became the first team ever to win a November game at Joel Coliseum over Wake Forest, 78-68, on Nov. 28 and the first unranked non-BCS school to win at the facility. W&M was also the only team to win at ACC regular season co-champion Maryland in 2009-10, downing the Terps, 83-77, on Dec. 30. The Tribe became the first CAA team since the league was establishment to win two ACC road games in the same season. The Tribe also became just the sixth non-BCS school to win two ACC road games in the same season since the ACC was established in 1953.

W&M finished 2010 in third place in the CAA standings with the second-most league wins in school history (12). The Tribe was at its best in close games during the 2009-10 season. The College was 10-4 in games decided by three or fewer points, including a season-record 5-1 mark in one-point contests. On the strength of its No. 60 RPI and wins over six RPI top 80 teams (three over RPI top 40 squads), the Tribe earned a bid to the NIT, marking only the second postseason appearance in school history. Despite falling to North Carolina in a game televised nationally, W&M set a school record with 16 3-pointers and led UNC, 72-69, with just over three minutes left in the contest. The Tribes 16 3-pointers against the Tar Heels was a signature of the entire season. The Green and Gold hit a school and then-CAA record 295 3-pointers during the year. The Tribe ranked eighth nationally at 8.9 3-pointers per game. Along with its success on the court, Tribe players have done their work in the classroom as well under Shaver. In three of the last four seasons, W&M posted a cumulative team grade point average of better than 3.0 at one of the toughest academic institutions in the country. Three of the Tribes five starters were named to the CAA All-Academic team during four of the last six seasons. The Tribe set a program and CAA record with seven CAA All-Academic Team honorees in 2012-13 and over Shavers 12 seasons, the Tribe leads the CAA with 38 All-Academic honorees. Five times under Shaver a Tribe player has been named the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Adam Hess in 2004, David Schneider in 2008, Quinn McDowell in 2012, Kyle Gaillard in 2013 and Tim Rusthoven in 2014). In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the mens basketball program earned NCAA Public Recognition for its perfect four-year Academic Progress Rate of 1,000, ranking among the top 10 percent nationally. The Tribe has produced five straight years of perfect 1,000 APR scores. Shaver has also enjoyed success in recruiting. ESPN.com and Scouts, Inc., rated the Tribes 2010 recruiting class of Julian Boatner, Brandon Britt, Fred Heldring and Tim Rusthoven as one of the top mid-major classes in the country. ESPN and Scouts, Inc., also listed the quartet as the top group in the CAA. Britt and Rusthoven became 1,000-point scorers during their careers, while Rusthoven was also a two-time All-CAA choice. The Tribes 2011 recruiting class added the programs first Gatorade State Player of the Year in Marcus Thornton, who won the award as a senior at Bishop McNamara in Maryland. Thornton is W&Ms all-time leading scorer, the 2015 CAA Player of the Year and the ninth NBA Draft pick in Tribe history. In 2007-08, William and Mary posted its first winning season in a decade finishing with a 17-16 ledger. In fact, it was only the sixth time in school history that a Tribe team had won 17 or more contests. W&M finished fifth in the league on the strength of a 10-8 CAA ledger. It marked only the second time the Tribe posted double-digit CAA wins in a season. The program posted back-to-back 15-plus win seasons for the first time in a quarter of a century in 2006-07 and 2007-08. The Tribe also put together consecutive seasons with a .500 or better record for the first time in 23 years. Shaver was voted the 2008 CAA Coach of the Year. The Shaver-led Tribe punctuated the honor by reeling off three-straight last-second wins on its way to the CAA Championship Game. Included in the run was a 56-54 win over regular season champion and No. 1 seed VCU in the semifinals. W&M won three contests to get to the championship game, matching the programs victory total in the tournament from the previous 22 years. As a result of the title game appearance, W&M had its first-ever nationally televised game and made its first appearance on ESPN. The Tribe accomplished numerous other milestones during the historic 2007-08 season. W&M established not only school records, but also CAA marks for 3-pointers made (257) and attempted (755) in a season. Shaver engineered a quartet of double-digit comebacks in 2008, including three straight in wins over James Madison (Jan. 9), at Georgia State (Jan. 12) and against Northeastern (Jan. 16). It marked the first time in school history W&M overcame two-straight double-digit second-half deficits, let alone three. The Tribes 16-point second-half comeback at Georgia State was the largest deficit that W&M overcame on the road in 15 years. Shaver also reached a coaching milestone of his own on December 31, 2007, winning his 400th collegiate coaching game as the Tribe defeated Fairfield, 71-50, at Kaplan Arena. W&M demonstrated its mettle as a winning team with not only its ability to overcame deficits, but also with being able to win close games. The Tribe won more than half its games (nine) in 2007-08 when trailing at the half. W&M also won nine games by four or fewer points in 2007-08, bettering the total (six) from Shavers first four seasons. The Tribe put together a six-game CAA winning streak, which marked only the third such league winning streak in Tribe history. Shaver also guided the Tribe to four straight CAA road wins in 2008. In 2006-07, Shaver earned CollegeInsider.com Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year honors after guiding the Tribe to a 15-15 record.

Shaver also led his team to eight wins during the tough CAA portion; only the third time the Tribe had accomplished that feat. Another telling stat of the progression of the program was the four CAA road victories, highlighted by a 67-63 win over 2006 Final Four participant George Mason. The 2006-07 season brought about a change in styles for the 31st W&M head coach. After spending much of his career coaching an up-tempo offense, featuring a trapping defense, Shaver switched over to a more perimeter-oriented attack. The Tribe offensive scheme spreads the floor and relies on spacing, effective perimeter shooting and players reading and reacting to teammates cuts and motion. During the 2005-06 season, W&M started 4-1, marking the best start for the Tribe team against current Division I opponents in school history (the 1992-93 unit started 6-1, but played two non-Division I opponents). Included in those four victories was a 70-60 win at Hampton, which went on to make the NCAA Tournament. In November 2005, Shaver was inducted into the Episcopal High School Hall of Fame. He led EHS for 10 seasons from 1976-86. Shaver has been inducted into the Hall of Fame at both of his head coaching stops prior to taking over the reins at William and Mary. He was named to the Hampden-Sydney College Hall of Fame in 2004. It was a great thrill to return to the campuses of Episcopal High School and Hampden-Sydney College for the induction ceremonies, Shaver said. Episcopal and Hampden-Sydney are special places to my family. In his second season at the helm, W&M started the season on a high note, defeating Radford and Hartford to win the inaugural W&M Tip-Off Classic, the first regular season tournament title for the College since 1981. The Tribe defeated James Madison in the first round of the CAA Tournament for W&Ms first postseason win since 1997. Shaver began his Tribe career with a 91-64 pounding of Liberty on Nov. 23, 2003. He also won his first Colonial Athletic Association contest, as the Tribe knocked off two-time defending league champion UNC Wilmington, 67-66, in overtime on Dec. 4, 2003. In total, 12 former W&M athletes who played under Shaver have gone on to professional careers overseas. Hess finished his sixth season in the German Bundesliga in 2015, and he earned second-team all-league honors in 2007.

During his first season as an assistant, W&M enjoyed one of the best turnarounds in program history during the 2012-13 season. And followed that up with W&Ms seventh and eighth 20-win seasons and back-to-back CAA Championship Game appearances. Over the last two seasons, the Tribe established school records for points scored, 3-point percentage, fewest turnovers per game and assist-to-turnover ratio. In each of Shavers three seasons, the Tribe has ranked among the national top 30 in field goal percentage (one of only three schools to go so along with Gonzaga and Belmont). As an assistant, Shaver has overseen the development of the Tribe big men, including two-time All-CAA forward Tim Rusthoven.

Austin has both of these advantages on his side, Hampden-Sydney head coach Dee Vick said. He made an incredible impact on our basketball program in two short years. Austin did a great job of evaluating talent and recruiting student-athletes. The guys he helped bring in have allowed our program to return to the top part of our league.
