2010-11 RMU Basketball NEC Champions: 1982, 1983, 1989, 1990, 1992, 2009, 2010

When it came time for Robert Morris University Director of AthleticsCraig Coleman, M.D., to name a new head coach for the men’s basketballprogram, he didn’t have to look far.

Andrew Toole was introduced as the eighth head coach in the 35-yearDivision I history at a press conference at the Charles L. Sewall CenterMay 11, 2010, and the 2011-12 campaign marks his second season as headcoach of the Colonials.

Anyone familiar with the success RMU has had in recent seasons should be familiar with Toole.Named as former head coach Mike Rice’s top assistant in 2007-08, Toole spent the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons as Associate Head Coach at Robert Morris.

In his first season at the helm in 2010-11, Toole continued RMU’s recent run of success, leading theColonials to an overall record of 18-14 (.563), including a mark of the 12-6 (.667) in the NortheastConference. Robert Morris advanced to its third straight NEC Tournament championship game, fallingshy of earning its third consecutive title before falling in overtime to Long Island, 85-82.

Despite a roster that features just one senior for the second straight year, Toole will lead a programin 2011-12 that is looking for its third NEC Tournament championship in four years, a feat that hasbeen accomplished only once in league history. The Colonials won the 1989, 1990 and 1992 NECTournament crowns.

“Our players are not old, but they should have an understanding of what it takes to win,” Toole said.“Let’s take the last 10 or 12 games of last year and now mesh the new guys in and keep going in the rightdirection.”

Toole is at the helm of an RMU program that has experienced unprecedented success over the lastfive years. The Colonials own NEC records for victories over the span of two, three, four and five years.

Since the beginning of the 2006-07 season, Robert Morris owns an overall record of 108-56 (.659),with the 108 victories both a school and NEC record for a five-year span. Since Toole joined the staff in2007-08, the Colonials have posted an overall record of 91-45 (.669).

While RMU’s overall success is apparent, the program’s accomplishments in the NEC are also clear. Over the last four years, the Colonials have posted a mark of 58-14 (.806) against league opposition

and enter the 2011-12 season having finished no lower than third over that span. Robert Morris won outright NEC regular-season titles in 2008 and 2009 and shared the champi-

onship in 2010 with Quinnipiac with Toole as a member of the staff.RMU followed up its success in the regular season by becoming the first team in NEC history in 16

years to win back-to-back NEC Tournament championships by earning a 52-50 win over Quinnipiac inthe 2010 NEC Tournament championship game in Hamden, Conn.

In 2008, the Colonials made their first appearance in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT),dropping an 87-81 decision to No. 1 overall seed Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. In both 2009 and 2010,RMU earned automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament thanks to winning their sixth and seventhNEC Tournament championships, respectively.

In the 2009 NCAA Tournament as a No. 15 seed, the Colonials fell to eventual national runner-upMichigan State, 77-62, in the first round at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn.In the 2010 NCAA Tournament, Robert Morris nearly upset No. 2 seed Villanova in the first round at theDunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., before falling, 73-70, in overtime.

At 31 years old, Toole is the youngest head coach at the Division I level. Prior to coming to Robert Morris in 2007, Toole spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant at

Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. While an assistant with the Leopards, Toole assisted in all facets of the program, from recruiting to

player development. He was responsible for helping recruit student-athletes that helped leadLafayette to the 2010 Patriot League Tournament championship game against Lehigh.

Between 2004 and 2006, Toole spent two years with The Hoop Group in Neptune, N.J. He served asthe director of the Eastern Invitational Basketball Clinic, where he handled logistical management forthe nation's largest high school exposure camp.

Toole was a four-year starter at the Division I level, playing for Elon University (1998-2000) beforetransferring to the University of Pennsylvania (2000-03).

Over his four-year career at Elon and Penn, Toole averaged 12.3 points per contest, finishing with1,341 points in 109 games. He also posted averages of 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals per con-test. Toole, who married the former Brooke Kelly June 3, 2011, resides in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt.Lebanon, Pa.

Sewall Center in RMU’s only exhibition contest of the pre-season, Oct. 31. Johnson posted the game’s lone double-double with game-highs in bothpoints (23) and rebounds (10) on the strength of a 6-for-8 performance from the field and an11-for-15 effort from the foul line. He also led the Colonials with four assists and added twosteals and a block.

Robert Morris Quick FactsGrowing Up - As the 2010-11 season progressed for Robert Morris, a young team beganto mature. The Colonials started the 2010-11 campaign 1-5 (.167) in games decided byfive points or less, and despite a three-point overtime setback @ Long Island (3/9/11) inthe championship game of the 2011 NEC Tournament, RMU owned a mark of 8-2 (.800)in close games after the calendar switched to 2011. Overall on the 2010-11 season theColonials finished with a mark of 9-7 (.563) in games decided by five points or less.Robert Morris will look to carry the success it had late in the 2010-11 campaign thanksto four returning starters in 2011-12. Over the last four seasons, RMU owns a record of25-14 (.641) in games decided by five points or less.

Five Against One - Thanks to a 66-49 victory over Wagner (2/26/11) in its 2010-11 regular-season finale, Robert Morris broke its own school and Northeast Conferencerecord for victories over a five-year span. The Colonials had compiled 105 wins from2005 to 2010 but ended the 2010-11 season with 108 victories since the beginning ofthe 2006-07 campaign. In addition, RMU’s 58 wins in the league over the last four yearsis a school and league record, while the Colonials have amassed 116 victories in the NECsince the beginning of the 2001-02 campaign, the most in the league in the last 10 sea-sons.

The CW Network - One Colonial who could break out for Robert Morris in 2011-12 isredshirt sophomore guard Coron Williams, arguably the purest shooter on the rosterand one of the best in the Northeast Conference. Over the final six games of the 2010-11 season, Williams averaged 15.5 points while shooting 64.7 percent (33-for-51) fromthe floor, including 68 percent (17-for-25) from long range. Williams exploded for acareer-high 26 points in a 66-49 victory over Wagner (2/24/11) in RMU’s 2010-11 regu-lar-season finale, which tied the Robert Morris freshman single-game record forpoints. All-time leading scorer Myron Walker (1990-94) also finished with 26 points ina 99-71 victory over Mount St. Mary’s (1/24/91) at the Sewall Center.

Liftoff With Lijah - While redshirt sophomore guard Coron Williams supplied RobertMorris with offensive punch down the stretch of the 2010-11 campaign, arguably theone Colonial who advanced the farthest throughout the course of the year was juniorforward Lijah Thompson. From the beginning of February through the end of the year,a stretch in with the Colonials went 9-2 (.818), Thompson averaged 11.9 points and 4.6rebounds per game while shooting 58 percent (47-for-81) from the field and 75.5 per-cent (37-for-49) at the charity stripe.

MTV VJ - Velton Jones provided Robert Morris with inspired play throughout the courseof his sophomore season, but at no time was that more evident than down the stretchof the 2010-11 campaign. Jones reached double figures in scoring in 15 of his last 17 con-tests, averaging 14.9 points over that span while shooting 42.9 percent (75-for-175)from the floor and also producing averages of 4.4 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.

The Rock - The only Colonial to start all 32 games for Robert Morris in 2010-11, juniorguard Velton Jones enters the 2011-12 season with the longest active streak for bothgames played and games started. Jones has played in 67 straight games for RMU datingback to the 2009-10 campaign and has earned 52 straight starts. He also enters the2011-12 season opener against Rider Friday having reached double figures in scoring insix straight games. Jones owns 62 career starts overall, far and away the highest markfor a Colonial. Redshirt junior forward Russell Johnson ranks second for Robert Morrisin career starts with 27. Jones and Johnson have each appeared in 67 consecutivegames for RMU, the longest active streak, while junior forward Lijah Thompson is next,having appeared in 44 consecutive games.

Board Games - A big key to the success that Robert Morris has had over the last fourseasons has been due in large part to the program’s ability to crash the boards. Sincethe beginning of the 2007-08 campaign, Robert Morris owns a record of 69-10 (.873)when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 66-8 (.692)mark when outrebounding their opponent. In Andrew Toole’s first season as headcocah in 2010-11, RMU posted a record of 14-4 (.778) when outrebounding its oppo-nent.
