While nothing in the unpredictable sport of college basketball is chiseled in granite, coach Bob McKillop’s 17th Davidson team has a chance to be extraordinarily special, even by Davidson standards. The Wildcats of 2005-06 will be a blend of talented, experienced, battle-tested veterans and a group of exuberant young 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’ resilience surely will be tested. In addition to a lineup of blue-chip non-conference heavyweights, including Duke, North Carolina and Syracuse, Davidson will face its usual array of outstanding teams in the highly competitive Southern Conference. After compiling a 16-0 league record in the regular season last year, plus winning four straight conference division titles and seven of the last 10, the bull’s-eye on Davidson’s back will be even larger than usual. The Wildcats should have the talent, experience, depth and attitude to cope. The overall record for Davidson could be enhanced if a slightly less ambitious non-conference schedule were in place, but such a ploy would violate McKillop’s philosophy. He prefers to play against the best because he wants his team to be thoroughly tested and exposed before it enters the meat of its tough conference schedule. By the time January arrives, McKillop hopes the non-league competition against some of the nation’s most powerful and athletic basketball teams will enable him to highlight his team’s strengths, disguise its weaknesses, while giving his players the confidence to respond in the fiercely contested conference games that they will face, by feeling, “Hey, we’ve been in tough situations like this before. We know what we must do to respond.” Of course, there are dangers in playing against such a difficult slate. “We have to be careful that our team doesn’t lose confi-

dence,” McKillop said. “We’re going to be knocked to the mat at different times, there’s no question about it. However, when it happens, I think our veteran players will lead us in responding positively. Such moments expose us as a team, the good and the bad. We learn a lot about ourselves — what we need to work on, where we need to show the most improvement. There’s no doubt in my mind that competition like this is excellent preparation for the tough teams we face in our own conference.” There are other byproducts of the tough and attractive non-conference games. “Our players work extremely hard,” McKillop said. “We reward them by getting them on as many Broadway stages as possible. They enjoy testing themselves against the best. Furthermore, we have many devoted fans that want to see us play games like this.” Make no mistake, however, that the most important part of Davidson’s season involves games against its rivals in the competitive and underrated Southern Conference. Even though the Wildcats went through the regular season conference schedule unbeaten last year, they couldn’t get out of the conference tournament, losing to UNC Greensboro in the semifinals, 73-68. Seven returning seniors recall the exhilaration of going unbeaten in the conference in the regular season, followed by the heartbreaking loss in the tournament, a defeat that denied them a bid to the NCAA Tournament. “Our seven seniors have great experience,” McKillop said. “They have been challenged repeatedly by tough schedules. They have had emotional ups and downs, such as going 16-0 in the conference last year but not making the NCAA tournament.” Of course last year’s success, which included two road wins in the postseason NIT, doesn’t guarantee anything for 200506. In fact, if the 23 wins of last season make this year’s team complacent in any way, trouble could be on the horizon for the Wildcats. Coach McKillop saw nothing in the preseason that would make him believe that complacency would be a problem. In fact, he saw just the opposite. “After the success that we enjoyed last season, it would be human nature for the players to come back feeling pretty good about themselves,” McKillop said. “Many times you face false bravado when you have many players returning after a successful season. There’s been no sign of that happening with our team. The players continue to work hard and put the team first. This is a very unselfish group. This could be a terrific team, with our youthful exuberance combined with our seasoned experience. We have many interchangeable parts on the team, because many of our players can play more than one position.” McKillop still has talking points that he can make with his team. The Wildcats had one more turnover than assist last season, a SoCon Tournament Champions 1966, ’68, ’69, ’70, ’86, ’98, 2002

Season Outlook
Forward Ian Johnson will start in his senior season after averaging over 11 points a game off the bench.
matter that he wants corrected. The field goal percentage of 43.3 percent from a year ago should improve with this group of outstanding shooters. In other words, there will be no feeling in the Davidson camp that, “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 more than 1,000 points in his role of coming off the bench during his first three Davidson seasons. Johnson perplexes opponents not only with his immense talent but also his unorthodox offensive style. A lefthander, Johnson specializes in a sweeping half hook shot that he can get off in the blink of an eye. And if opponents try to take the shot away, Johnson has no trouble going with his right hand. The release on his shot is so quick that it sometimes looks as if he’s merely re-directing a teammate’s pass into the basket. He should be one of the hardest frontcourt players in college basketball to defend. In addition to his variety of moves in the paint, Johnson is an excellent three-point shooter at the end of Davidson’s secondary break. While playing less than 24 minutes a game last season, Johnson averaged 11.1 points, led the team’s regulars with 53 percent shooting from the field, made 37 percent of his three-point attempts, and an impressive 73.3 percent from the foul line. He averaged 4.6 rebounds a game, a number that he hopes to improve this season. Johnson came back for his senior season stronger, quicker, more agile, and improved in all of his basketball skill areas. “Ian is our frontcourt anchor,” Coach McKillop said. “He has always accepted whatever role he’s been given. The better the competition, the tighter the game, the better he seems to play.”

Season
Reigning SoCon Player of the Year Brendan Winters will be shooting to lead Davidson to an NCAA Tournament bid.
Johnson will look to two hard-working sophomores to assist him in the frontcourt. Thomas Sander, 6-8 and 220 pounds, played in 29 games last season as a freshman. While he took only 34 shots, he made 26 of them for a shooting percentage of 76.5. A young man who is not afraid to bang inside, Sander has the potential to become an excellent inside scoring threat and a superb rebounder and post defender. The other frontcourt sophomore is Boris Meno, 6-8 and 220 pounds, who quickly became a crowd favorite at Davidson’s home games last season because of his athleticism and enthusiastic play. Meno runs the court like a strong wind crossing the plains, and his transition from defense to offense is amazing. Any defender who loafs back on defense against Meno will need binoculars to see the number on the back of his jersey. Meno played sparingly in 25 games last season, but it was obvious that he got more and more comfortable as the season progressed. He showed enough in the way of dunks, transition baskets and blocked shots to have the Davidson faithful eagerly await his basketball future. “Thomas and Boris got a taste of experience last year,” McKillop said. “They also improved by competing in practice every day against Logan (Kosmalski), Conor (Grace), and Ian. The competition they’ll face with this year’s frontcourt personnel will further enhance their development as players in our system.” McKillop is pleased with what he’s seen of 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, while Max Paulhus Gosselin, 6-6 and 185 pounds, showcases quickness and good athletic skills. There have been seasons when Davidson didn’t have the frontcourt quickness, depth and talent to simulate in prac-

tice what the starters would see in games. That’s not true with this group. The talent, size and depth are there to produce some interesting and competitive practice sessions, a luxury that should make all of the frontcourt players better. All of the news from the frontcourt is not glowing, however. Davidson lost two excellent players from last season with the graduation of Conor Grace and Logan Kosmalksi. Kosmalski was last year’s second leading scorer at 11.2 points a game, and the leading rebounder at 8.5 a game. He started for two years after transferring from Baylor. Meanwhile, Grace, a threeyear starter, was a defensive stalwart in the pivot, and did the little things that make a team better: box out on rebounds, screen for teammates, take charges. Statistics don’t come close to defining the value of Grace’s play. “We lost two tough and competitive players in Logan and Conor,” McKillop said. “They anchored our post defense. They played valuable roles as passers, screeners and rebounders within our system. We might be able to replace certain things that we lost from them, but not their experience. They were terrific senior leaders on a very good team.”
The Backcourt There are many reasons for Coach McKillop to be excited about this team’s backcourt. Break it down. Experience: great. Ball handling: outstanding. Passing: excellent. Shooting: could be sensational. The leader here is three-year starter Brendan Winters, a 6-5 senior, the Southern Conference Player of the Year last season and Davidson’s leading scorer at 16.7 points a game. Although he was almost always the chief defensive target of Davidson’s opponents, Winters nevertheless shot 45 percent from the field, a whopping 43.4 percent on three-pointers and 74 percent from the foul line. He pitched in with 5.1 rebounds a game. When opponents come out to try to take his threepoint shot away, Winters has the skill to drive the ball to the basket and make a play. He went to the foul line 146 times last year, more than any other Davidson player. Matt McKillop, a 6-1, 180-pound senior, has started for most of three seasons, and has seen time at the two-guard and the point. The son of Davidson’s head coach, he has uncanny basketball savvy and the penchant for hitting the big shot with the game on the line. McKillop averaged 7.7 points a game last season while hitting 36.6 percent of his 3-point shots. Toughness marks McKillop’s game. It’s not unusual for him to look bruised and battered after a game, as he throws his body around in an effort to draw charges and claim loose balls. Kenny Grant, a 6-2, 195-pound senior, had a terrific season last year as Davidson’s starting point guard. He’s improved as much in his Davidson career
as any player on the squad. He’s developed into a leader with the ability to control the pace of the game, fast or slow, depending on the circumstances. Always adept at taking the ball to the basket at the end of a break, Grant has dramatically improved his outside shooting skills. He led the team from the foul line last season by shooting 79.6 percent, and his 178 assists also led the Wildcats. Jason Morton, a 6-2 senior and a transfer from Richmond, has outstanding athletic skills and the ability to hurt opponents from the outside with his accuracy and range. Opponents have to guard him honestly because of his quick bursts to the rim. He averaged 10.4 points a game last season while shooting 42 percent from the field and 39.4 percent on his three-pointers. He got to the free throw line 70 times last season, a number that should increase this year as he feels more comfortable attacking the basket. Eric Blancett, a 6-4, 185-pound senior, is due a dose of good luck. Hindered by injuries during his Davidson career, he could give the Wildcats more depth, scoring and leadership in the backcourt. An outstanding perimeter shooter, Blancett has improved his ability to penetrate the defense. St. Louis is his home, and with family and friends in attendance he had a terrific game last season in Davidson’s impressive win at the University of Missouri. Jason Richards, a 6-2 sophomore, played in 27 games last season, and saw his playing time increase as the season progressed. Richards is a point guard with great savvy and basketball IQ. He has the knack of knowing where the ball should go and when, and delivers the ball with confidence. McKillop did not hesitate to use Richards late in games down the stretch last season. The experience should make Richards an important cog in Davidson’s backcourt this season.
Point guard Kenny Grant has become a terrific floor general for the Wildcats at both ends of the court.

Chris Clunie, a 6-3, 205-pound senior, provides valuable work in practice that pushes the starters to get better. “No coach could ever want a player on his team that brings more winning intangibles to the table than Chris Clunie,” said Coach McKillop. Playing a similar role is John Falconi, 6-4, 205-pound junior. “He’s improved each year he’s been in our program and continues to do so,” McKillop said. Freshman Can Civi, 6-1 and 180 pounds, joins the talented group of backcourt players. The competition he’ll face in practice each day should speed the pace of his improvement.
“Our success in the NIT was extremely beneficial,” McKillop said. “We played on the road in some tough places before large and enthusiastic crowds. I think our win at Southwest Missouri State was one of the best we’ve had here. Their crowd was large, knowledgeable, and very supportive of their team. To win there against a top opponent in those conditions was huge for us. Then we competed very hard in the next outing at Maryland. The taste of winning in the postseason in a national tournament should stick with our returning players and make them hungry for more. They know what it takes to succeed at the highest level of competition.” McKillop is also blessed to have almost his entire coaching staff return intact. Associate head coach Matt Matheny, and assistant coaches Jim Fox and Landry Kosmalski all return. Veteran Mike Craft, who coached last season at Western Carolina, replaces Will Roberson as director of basketball operations. “Having these talented coaches on the staff is much more than an intangible,” McKillop said. “It offers our program a very tangible benefit. The players and I benefit greatly from their tremendous work.”

Intangibles The Wildcats went to Italy and Slovenia last August and won four of six games against professional teams. Under NCAA rules, Davidson was allowed to practice for 10 days at home prior to making the trip. Once there, the ’Cats played six games in 12 days. “The trip was invaluable to us,” Coach McKillop said. “The first game over there, it appeared that maybe we had forgotten some of the reasons why we won 23 games last year. But the amnesia was cured quickly and we got back to doing the things that could make this a special team. The chemistry of the team, which was already excellent, reached an all-time high. That should bode well for us this season.” In addition to the European trip, the Wildcats earned the right for additional practices and games last March when their excellent regular-season record earned them a berth in the postseason NIT. Davidson advanced deep into the tournament, winning road games at Virginia Commonwealth and Southwest Missouri State, and building a 17-point lead at Maryland before falling to the Terps in the second half.
Don’t look for Davidson’s style of play to change much, but there could be more of a good thing if plans come to fruition. If McKillop has his way, he’ll have his Wildcats running and attacking more on offense than ever — and he’s always preferred a fast pace. “We have the talent and the depth to push the envelope on offense,” McKillop said. “All coaches have to be willing to play their bench if they hope to build depth, and that could mean that some of our players will have their minutes cut back to some degree. We’ll continue to be
Guard Jason Morton can provide instant offense with his excellent range from the perimeter.

an inside-out team on offense. We will attack first on the inside, and if it’s not there, we’ll get it outside. That style produces better perimeter shots, improved shooting, more effective passing, high percentage shots inside, and should get us to the foul line.” Defensively, the Wildcats’ staple will be man-to-man, but McKillop will not hesitate to change defenses depending on the flow and feel of the game. “We might extend our pressure a little bit, maybe take a few more risks,” he said. “With a veteran team like we have, we should have the excellent communication skills needed to change defenses effectively. Of course, we have to prove it, but the parts are there for this to be a very good defensive team.” Leadership and unselfishness should be trademarks of this veteran Davidson team. “It’s exhilarating as a coach to see our players continue to improve and work hard,” McKillop said. “The pressure they put on each other to improve, as well as the encouragement they give to their teammates, is a great thing for me as their coach to observe. These players put the team on the pedestal, not themselves.” It’s the kind of thing that the Wildcats hope will keep them playing deep into March. But in this game, nothing is guaranteed, and surprises are plentiful. It’s why McKillop keeps this sign on his office desk, “No Free Lunches.” The players don’t need to be told what it means.

The Team
Scouting Report: Injuries have hampered Blancett throughout his career, but he has shown unbelievable resiliency to fight back from all his physical ailments. Now as a senior, he is healthy and ready to finish his Wildcat career on a high note. Blancett is a threat to drain the three-pointer from anywhere behind the arc with his sweet stroke. “Eric provides a combination of shooting ability complimented by his slashing ability,” McKillop stated. “He gives us many options in the backcourt.”
2004-05: A key performer off the bench at the outset of the season, Blancett pitched in 12 solid minutes and five points in the 84-81 win over Missouri. In the home opener, he posted career highs with six rebounds and four assists. Blancett also contributed six points in the eight-point victory at Georgia Southern to start the conference slate. Injuries put him out of action for two five-game stretches in the middle of the season. Upon returning to the court, Blancett recorded six points and three rebounds over 10 minutes of action at The Citadel. 2003-04: Blancett saw his playing time increase as the Wildcats got into the heart of Southern Conference play. The shooting guard contributed minutes in six of the last seven regular-season games as he made steady progress in his recovery from 200203 knee injuries. He sparked the Wildcats after coming off the bench and converting a three-point play in Davidson’s crucial victory over College of Charleston down the stretch.

2002-03: Blancett suffered multiple knee injuries in the offseason and was forced to take a medical redshirt year. 2001-02: Blancett provided relief at the two-guard spot in 19 games. As a freshman, he averaged almost eight minutes per game. Blancett proved himself to be a polished shooting guard, having showcased his perimeter shooting skills on more than one occasion. He went 4-for-7 from behind the arc for a career-high 12 points against Oglethorpe, and drained a critical three off the bench in the final minutes of the victory at North Carolina on Nov. 20. Blancett also drilled a hat trick of threes at St. Bonaventure while playing in a seasonhigh 21 minutes. He contributed 10 points off 4-of-8 shooting in the Wildcats’ 91-47 romp of Washington & Jefferson in late December. Blancett’s contributions in practice were also invaluable in preparing Davidson for Southern Conference opponents and the postseason tournaments. High School: Blancett finished a successful high school career at DeSmet Jesuit in St. Louis, Mo., in 2001. The second team all-stater helped his varsity squad to the state championship as a sophomore. During his prep career, Blancett also earned first team all-conference honors and was named to the academic all-state squad. A versatile athlete, he not only played basketball, but soccer and volleyball as well. Personal: The son of Bob and Mary Blancett, Eric has his postgraduate goals set on becoming either a physical trainer or a sports agent. He has one older brother, Mark (26).

Scouting Report: From the classroom to the hardwood, Clunie never gives less than his best effort. A valuable member of the scout team in practice, he refuses to accept anything but the best out of himself. Clunie also has the versatility to swing back and forth between the front- and backcourt. “Chris is the consummate team player,” commented McKillop. “He knows the system like the back of his hand.”
2004-05: In a career-high 11 games played, Clunie had three points and three rebounds in his first action against MaineFarmington. He also helped out in four of the conference victories, the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference Tournament and the second-round game in the NIT versus Maryland.
High School: Clunie was a multi-sport athlete in high school and a four-year letterwinner in both basketball and track and field. The forward was a three-time Baltimore Catholic League All-Conference performer at Loyola. Clunie scored over 1,400 points in his four seasons, named Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association All-Conference performer in 2001. Clunie was the salutatorian of his class and a member of the National Honor Society. He earned numerous academic awards and was a Ventures Scholar and National Merit Scholar Honorable Mention.
Personal: Chris is the oldest of Opie and Maxine Clunie’s three children. His brother Jonathan is 17 and sister Tiffany is 11. There are some basketball genes in the family as Chris’ cousin Wayne Hollingsworth played professional hoops in China last year after playing college ball at Indiana Southeast. Chris is a William Holt Terry Leadership Scholar.
2003-04: Clunie contributed minutes in eight contests during his sophomore season. Despite seeing limited action, Clunie displayed a strong work ethic on the squad as he used his role on the scout team to prepare the starters for each game. 2002-03: Clunie saw action in six games, including a career-high 11 minutes against Washington & Jefferson. He netted a personal-best four points and pulled down five rebounds in that contest.

Scouting Report: The continued maturation of Grant at the point is one of the main components to the success of this Wildcat team. He has evolved into the top point guard in the league, and is also a threat to score, showing significant improvement in knocking down the longrange jump shot. He will set the tone for the team on offense and defense. “Kenny just gets better and better each year,” said McKillop. “He quarterbacks the team with the confidence and maturity of a senior.”
2004-05: Grant immediately served notice that his game had jumped to the next level by guiding the ’Cats to a three-point win at Missouri on the strength of 10 points and a career-high 11 assists for his first doubledouble. With an average of 5.6 assists per game, he led the Southern Conference and ranked 23rd in the country. Grant was also the team’s most accurate free throw shooter, making him the ideal player to handle the ball in the waning seconds of a tight game. At Princeton he drained each of his 11 free throws en route to a 19-point performance. Against UNC Greensboro on Feb. 5, Grant topped 20 points for the first time while grabbing a career-high eight boards. Three games later, he tallied 22 points at College of Charleston. In the NIT, he averaged 7.75 assists for the three games, and his ability to set up his teammates to score proved to be a strong indicator of the team’s fortunes. When Grant dished out at least five assists, Davidson went 18-2. In Wildcat wins, he averaged 6.3 assists per game, in Davidson defeats just 3.7.
2003-04: After getting off to a slow start against Davidson’s tough non-conference schedule, Grant was able to show his true point guard colors in Southern Conference play. Grant saw action in 28 contests, starting six. Grant ended the season as the teamleader in assists with an average of 3.3 apg in 21.3 mpg. Grant had his strongest game of the season at Wofford, setting season highs by netting 6-of-8 from the field and 6-
10
of-8 free throws for 18 points. He had a spotless game of six assists and zero turnovers against The Citadel, plus contributed six rebounds and five assists in Davidson’s win over Georgia Southern. Grant didn’t shy away from top-ranked opponents as the floor general scored six points and added five assists against No. 2 Duke. The Wildcats were 14-3 when Grant’s assist-to-turnover ratio was better than one.
2002-03: Grant spent the year adapting to Davidson while sitting out due to NCAA rules for transfers. 2001-02: At Lafayette College, Grant played in 25 of the 29 games, starting 10, to help the Leopards to a 15-14 mark. In the season opener at Albany, he wasted no time in asserting himself as he had eight points, five rebounds and five steals, all of which turned out to be season highs for him. Against Howard on Dec. 30, Grant dished out a season-high six assists as well. His allaround solid play earned him a spot on the Patriot League’s All-Rookie Team. High School: Grant averaged 9.5 points and 11.0 assists a game in his final season at St. Mary’s. With Grant at the point, the Gaels won the Long Island Catholic Championship in both his junior and senior seasons. After winning the state championship in 2000, they finished as the runner-up the following year. Grant earned all-league and All-Long Island accolades, plus was a McDonald’s All-American nominee. He also excelled in the classroom, garnering all-academic league honors. Personal: Grant was born in Sweden and played on the Swedish Junior National Team in the summer of 2001. His mother, Mia, played professional basketball in Sweden, while his father, Kenny Sr., played collegiate basketball at St. Peter’s College before playing professionally overseas as well. Grant has two sisters, Sandra, 25, and Katia, 18.

The Team
Scouting Report: The senior southpaw has served as Davidson’s top sixth man during his first three seasons. Now Johnson is moving into the starting lineup where he will be a major player in the frontcourt. A threat to score from inside and out, Johnson is one of two current Wildcats with more than 1,000 points to his credit. He also seems to play his best in the big games. “With his improved strength and quickness, Ian will pay dividends for us on defense and on the boards,” McKillop noted.
2004-05: Reprising his role as a terrific scorer off the bench, Johnson ranked fourth in the Southern Conference with a .530 field goal percentage, a figure that jumped to .576 in SoCon games. His accuracy served the ’Cats well — Davidson went 9-1 when he shot at least 60 percent from the floor. Johnson registered double-figure points on 18 occasions, including a doubledouble against Georgia Southern. Ironically, his season high of 20 points at St. Joseph’s came in one of his seven starts. Like many of his teammates, Johnson enjoyed a fine start to the season, scoring 16 points and snatching six boards in 36 minutes on the floor at Missouri. He brought down a career-best five offensive rebounds Furman on Jan. 5, a mark he equaled in the NIT at VCU. At The Citadel, the lefty showed off his stroke from downtown with a career-high four three-pointers, all of which came in the first half. With his 14 points against Southwest Missouri State in the NIT, Johnson surpassed 1,000 points for his career. Five times during the season he led the Wildcats in scoring, and Davidson won four of those contests. 2003-04: Johnson became Davidson’s top offensive threat off the bench, often taking his spot on the court to provide immediate points for the ’Cats. Johnson put his trademark hook shot to use on more than one occasion and was able to do some work on
12
the boards as well. Marked as the team’s most accurate shooter, Johnson connected on 51.6 percent of his shot attempts. At Georgetown, he netted 9-of-12 field goals for 20 points. Johnson helped Davidson get its first road win with his nine points and nine rebounds at The Citadel — his five boards on the offensive end were a personal best. Johnson got better down the stretch, leading the team in scoring in both of the SoCon Tournament contests. In postseason play, Johnson shot a combined 15of-27 (.556), grabbed 13 rebounds and netted 36 points, including a season-high 21 against eventual-champion ETSU. The forward drained a team-best 83.9 percent of his free throws, including his last 12 attempts of the year. Davidson’s sixth man averaged 10.7 ppg and 4.4 rpg.
2002-03: Johnson was part of the freshmen connection that led Davidson to a share of the North Division crown. He was quick to prove his abilities, dumping in 23 points in his Wildcat debut against No. 4 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The lengthy forward saw minutes in all 27 games, averaging 12.4 points and 5.7 rebounds off the bench. He scored 10 or more points in 17 contests, his production level soaring in some of the biggest games. Against No. 4 Arizona, Johnson dropped a team-best 21 points and earned a spot on the All-Tournament team at the Fiesta Bowl Classic. His most efficient offensive showing came at Wofford where Johnson netted a career-high 26 points on 11-of-16 from the field. He helped the ’Cats knock off then-league leader Appalachian State on Feb. 22, posting one of his four doubledoubles with 12 points and 11 boards. His accuracy from the field gave way to a 55 percent shooting mark from the field and 85 percent from the free throw line. The left-hander earned a spot on the five-member SoCon All-Freshman team.
High School: During Johnson’s junior year at Albemarle High School, he averaged a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds a game. He was selected first team all-district, first team all-region and the team’s MVP, plus earned the Steve King Scholarship Award. Johnson followed up that season by being selected McDonald’s All-American Honorable Mention while winning the Coach’s Award from head coach Steve Smith at Oak Hill Academy. He also earned the Team Academic Award as a senior. Eight of his teammates went on to play Division I basketball. One of those was NBA first-round draft pick Carmelo Anthony, who left after one season and a national championship at Syracuse. Personal: The only son of Bill and Lisa, Johnson has two sisters — Hannah, 23, and Norah, 18.

The Team
Scouting Report: Already fifth on the Wildcats’ all-time three-point list, McKillop is one of Davidson’s numerous long-range sharp-shooters. He shoots 40 percent from behind the arc for his career, and should have more shooting opportunities thanks to improved quickness. He has also consistently proven a flair for the dramatic late in games. Experienced at all three perimeter positions, McKillop is a valuable commodity for the Wildcats. “Matt’s shooting and versatility are important assets, but his consistent toughness is the hallmark of his every performance,” Coach McKillop said of his son.
2004-05: If opponents weren’t aware of his shooting ability before the season opener, they were introduced to it quickly. McKillop stroked five treys in eight attempts at Missouri and finished with a career-high 28 points to lead Davidson to an 84-81 victory. He scored in double figures eight times during the season, with the ’Cats winning seven of those games. In early January, he became a go-to guy with the game on the line, hitting three-pointers with under a minute to go against both Appalachian State and Charleston to put the Wildcats ahead for good in each game. He then capped each win with perfect appearances at the free throw line following the trey. An injury at the end of January kept him off the floor for a couple games, then slowed him a bit on his return. Yet he still managed to be a factor in Davidson’s victories in the SoCon Tournament and NIT, draining a pair of triples in each of the three wins. 2003-04: After spending the majority of his freshman minutes behind the threepoint arc, McKillop took up a different role in his second season. As a member of the starting five, McKillop played the point guard position for most of 2003-04. Although his role as court general allowed fewer open looks from long range, that

didn’t stop the sharp-shooter from hitting 67 three-pointers. McKillop started the season on a positive note, dropping four treys for a team-high 18 points at Texas Tech in the Preseason NIT. He dumped in another 18 points in Davidson’s win over Iona, hitting 5-of-9 field goal attempts. McKillop was Davidson’s most accurate three-point shooter, connecting on 43.5 percent from deep, good for fourth best in the Southern Conference. Against SoCon-champion ETSU, McKillop tied a career-high with six three-pointers, and at Chattanooga he drained 5-of-10 from downtown. McKillop scored a season-high 21 points on 5-of-9 from beyond the arc against ETSU in the semifinals of the SoCon Tournament. He finished the year averaging 10.2 ppg, scoring in double figures 13 times.
2002-03: McKillop saw a lot more time on the court as a freshman than expected due to various Wildcat injuries. He took advantage of the opportunity, sparking the ’Cats on more than one occasion. The guard saw action in all 27 contests, earning the starting nod in 10 games. The strongest part of his game is his smooth three-point shot; he connected on 50 three-pointers as a rookie, besting the previous single-season three-point record of 49 triples by a rookie set by Jason Zimmerman in 1990-91. When taking over for the injured Peter Anderer, McKillop nailed 25 treys in his 10 starts, scoring in double digits in half of those games. His most effective offensive performance sparked the Wildcats to their first conference road victory. At East Tennessee State, McKillop drilled six three-pointers in the second half to lead Davidson with a careerhigh 24 points. Against Furman, he contributed 18 points on 5-of-9 from the field in the ’Cats’ 65-57 win. McKillop averaged 8.5 points, shooting 42 percent from downtown in his first season.
High School: After finishing up a fine career at Charlotte Catholic by averaging 19 points a game in his senior season, McKillop spent a year at postgraduate school at The Hun School in New Jersey. There he scored 15 points and dished out six assists per game while shooting 52 percent from three-point range. McKillop earned first team all-conference and second team Prep A All-State honors, plus was named to all-prep by the Trentonian, The Trenton Times and Princeton Packet. The latter of those three chose him as the Boy’s Basketball Player of the Year. McKillop was also a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish Honor Society.
Personal: McKillop is most notably recognized as being the coach’s son. He certainly is close with head coach Bob McKillop, whom he lists as the person he most admires. Matt is the middle child of Bob and Cathy McKillop. He has a sister Kerrin, 25, who graduated from Davidson in 2002. He also has a younger brother, Brendan, who is 17.

Scouting Report: After sitting out a year and a half following his transfer from Richmond, Morton demonstrated an explosive scoring ability, providing points in bunches with his three-point prowess. But he is also emerging as a very solid defender, an attribute that is crucial in McKillop’s system. Morton will once again be a vital backcourt contributer for the Wildcats. “Jason made tremendous progress last year as he became more familiar with the system and removed the rustiness from his time off,” said McKillop.
2004-05: Davidson waited a year and a half for Morton’s services after he transferred from Richmond, and he was certainly worth the wait. One of four Wildcats to average in double figures, he scored 10 or more points on 17 occasions; Davidson was 14-3 in those contests. The ’Cats were also 6-1 the seven times he led the squad in scoring. Morton was second on the squad with 63 trifectas, a career-high six of which came in a victory over Chattanooga. After seeing very limited minutes in the first two contests of the year, he scored 17 points in just 16 minutes versus Maine-Farmington, then proved his scoring ability against an elite team with 14 points at St. Joseph’s on 5-of-9 from the floor. After helping Davidson to its first conference win with 15 points at Georgia Southern, he hit 4-of-6 treys and chipped in 18 points at UMass. In a three-game span, Morton twice reached 20 points with a season-high 22 against Chattanooga while shooting a schoolrecord 17 three-point tries. One of his most important buckets of the season, however, came on a buzzer-beater at College of Charleston for his only points of the game, giving Davidson a two-point win.

2003-04: Morton spent the year adapting to Davidson while sitting out due to NCAA rules for transfers. 2002-03: Morton competed in three games before leaving Richmond. 2001-02: During his freshman season at Richmond, Morton provided minutes off the bench in 19 contests. He played a careerhigh 17 minutes against Cincinnati, netting five points and dishing out an assist. He grabbed a rebound and posted an assist in an NIT game appearance against Wagner. High School: Morton averaged 19 points, seven assists, five rebounds and six steals in his senior season at Charlotte Christian. He shot 53 percent from the field and 43 percent from three-point territory in his final season. Morton spent his sophomore and junior campaigns at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia, a teammate of Puff Summers, averaging 24 and 20 points respectively. Morton’s numbers made him a first-team all-state selection, once in North Carolina and once in Virginia. He led Charlotte Christian to the state championship in his only season with the Knights, earning state tournament MVP honors. Morton was a Charlotte Observer first-team selection as well as a McDonald’s AllAmerican nominee. Personal: Jason is the lone son of John and Glenys Morton. He has one sister — Leslie who is 18 years old. His father played football at VMI.

Scouting Report: The reigning Southern Conference Player of the Year, Winters has received many accolades for his ability to shoot the basketball, as his range extends well beyond the arc. But it is his consistent improvement as a defender that makes him the most well-rounded player on the Wildcat squad. With an insatiable work ethic, Winters makes everyone on the team better with his presence on the court. “Every year Brendan has added a strength to his game while eliminating a weakness,” McKillop noted, “and this year will be no exception.”
2004-05: The postseason awards rolled in for Winters following a truly great performance on the court throughout the year. He ranked third in the league at 16.7 points per game, second in three-point percentage at 43.4 (13th nationally) and third in trifectas with 2.78 per contest. Factor in him scoring in double figures in all but one game and his 5.1 rebounding average and it adds up to one Southern Conference Player of the Year (Davidson’s first since 1970) and Honoable Mention AP All-American. Winters was also one of 11 named to the USBWA All-District III team, the only non-ACC player listed. Against UMass in his 66th career game, he joined Davdison’s 1,000-point club and finished the season 13th all-time on the scoring list with 1,385 points. On 23 occasions, Winters led the team either in scoring or rebounding, or both, and eight times eclipsed 20 points in a game. Against Duke he set a career high by drilling 10 field goals, four from downtown, to score 24 points. Winters tied the school mark by connecting on all five of his three-pointers against Georgetown. He recorded the fourth and fifth double-doubles of his career against UMass and Appalachian State as well. On the strength of 19 points in both of Davidson’s SoCon Tournament games, Winters was named to the all-tournament squad. And in each of the team’s
18
NIT games, he led the team in scoring Winters finished the season with a schoolrecord 89 three-pointers.
2003-04: Without a doubt Winters was Davidson’s player of the year as a sophomore, leading the Wildcats to their third consecutive share of the division title. The guard, known primarily for his shooting skills, became one of Davidson’s most versatile players in his second season. Winters was the only Wildcat to be named first-team all-conference by both the media and coaches after scoring in double figures in 26 straight games during the season. The streak was the longest at Davidson since the late ’80s. Winters averaged 20.3 ppg (second-best in the league) during the regular conference season, the first-ever McKillopcoached player to average 20 or more points per game in the SoCon. Winters’ final regular-season contest produced a season-high 30 points on 5-of-10 from three-point land. Virtually unstoppable even against Davidson’s difficult non-conference opponents, the sharp-shooter hit six treys against top-ranked North Carolina early in the season. While increasing his scoring totals, Winters also became valuable to the Wildcats on the glass. Against Georgia Southern, he recorded a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Winters tallied 20 or more points in 11 contests and was the ’Cats’ leading scorer in 18 games, including the last seven regular season bouts. Continually a scoring threat from downtown, Winters canned 75 three-pointers, the third-most in the Southern Conference. The two-year starter led the Wildcats with 17.8 ppg and ranked third with 5.1 rpg.
2002-03: Winters’ basketball I.Q., talent and skill level were evident almost as soon as his rookie season began. He started all but three games after stepping in for the injured Jouni Eho in the fourth contest of the season. Winters averaged 12.4 points per game, consistently improving during
the conference season as he contributed 14.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. He scored in double figures in all but four league games. Winters led the SoCon shooting 51 percent from beyond the arc, and only two Wildcats topped his rebounding numbers. At one point, Winters put together a week of three games that included 68 points, 22 rebounds, 14 assists, 18-of-31 shooting from the field and 10-of-14 from beyond the arc. Winters dropped in a career-high 31 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead the Wildcats to a victory over UNC Greensboro. His 18 points and eight boards propelled Davidson to a win over thendivision leader Appalachian State. His superb season earned him a spot on the conference all-freshman team.
High School: At Mullen High School, Winters was a two-time all-conference and all-state player, leading his squad to the Colorado state championship as a senior. He averaged 12 points, six rebounds and three assists per game while shooting 46 percent from behind the arc. As a postgraduate at Worcester Academy in Massachusetts, Winters helped his team to the New England Prep School Class A championship game. He is one of eight players on that squad to play on a Division I basketball team.
Personal: Winters certainly has the blood lines to excel at basketball — his father, Brian, starred at South Carolina before becoming a two-time NBA All-Star for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Brian Winters also served as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. Currently he is the head coach of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever. Brendan has an uncle that played basketball for Miami of Ohio. He is the second of Brian and Julie’s six children. Cara, 23, is the oldest, followed by Brendan, Kevin, 20, Keelin, 16, Meghan, 15, and Ryan, 13.

Scouting Report: Meno showed flashes of brilliance last year, and while challenging for a starting position, has the opportunity this year to become more consistent with added playing time and maturity. Defensively, he is capable of creating chaos, and his running and rebounding ability should give him numerous scoring opportunities in the paint. “Boris gives us some assets that will be valuable if we hope to take the next step as a program,” McKillop stated. 2004-05: Despite averaging just 6.2 minutes over 25 games, Meno tied for the team lead in blocks. In consecutive contests, he racked up three blocks against both Appalachian State and College of Charleston while playing a combined total of 23 minutes. His top performance in league action came against the Mountaineers as he collected five ponits and seven rebounds in 15 minutes on the floor to go along with those three rejec-

Scouting Report: Despite a very crowded backcourt last season, Richards capitalized on his opportunity for playing time as a freshman. Capable of playing the point as well as off the ball, he is a shrewd decision maker as his assist-to-turnover ratio from a season ago — nearly two to one — can attest. “Jason has begun to grasp our system and understand the role he is expected to play,” commented McKillop.
2004-05: Brought along slowly at the outset of his freshman campaign, Richards earned the trust of the coaching staff with his strong ball-handling skills (turnover-toassist ratio just under two). He got his feet

wet with considerable time against MaineFarmington, posting fives across the board — points, rebounds and assists. At Princeton, he proved to be a factor by hitting both his shots and scoring five points with two boards and an assist in 11 minutes. But perhaps his most significant contribution came when Grant was saddled with foul trouble at Western Carolina, and Richards stepped in for a season-high 26 minutes of court time. His seven points and six assists also constituted top marks on the year for the freshman. He played in 14 of the last 15 games from that point forward, pitching in at least 10 minutes on four occasions, including 14 minutes at Maryland in what turned out to be Davidson’s final game of the season.
High School: The four-year starter at Barrington broke 12 school records during his 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 his final year at Barrington High School. The combo-guard was selected to participate in the prestigious ABCD camp and was also chosen as a Street & Smith’s Preseason Honorable Mention All-American. Personal: Richards comes from a family of basketball stars. His lone sister, Lindsay (22), was a McDonald’s All-American and is currently rehabbing a knee injury with the Iowa Hawkeye basketball team. His parents, Tom and Mary Beth, both played hoops at the University of Pittsburgh.

Scouting Report: McKillop likes players that possess what he calls “basketball IQ.” Well, Sander certainly has that going for him. He is an outstanding rebounder with terrific shot selection, as demonstrated by his 76.5-percent accuracy from the floor last year. The Wildcats will need him to fill the void in the post left by graduates Grace and Kosmalski. This summer he put his ability in the blocks on display during the team’s European trip, twice hauling in 10 boards in the six games. “Thomas excels at doing the little things on the interior,” McKillop said, “and he never takes a step back to anyone.”
2004-05: Although his totals did not meet the minimums to be listed in the conference rankings, Sander had one of the most impressive field goal percentages in the league. He shot 76.5 percent from the floor, having dumped in 26-of-34 attempts in his 29 games. In his first collegiate game, Sander was thrust into 13 minutes of action, helping the ’Cats to an 84-81 victory at Missouri. He put up season-highs in points (12) and rebounds (9) against Maine-Farmington, but some of his best work came in non-conference games versus Seton Hall and Princeton. In 47 combined minutes against those two schools, Sander provided 13 rebounds and 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting. High School: At Elder High School, Sander was named first-team All-Greater Catholic League as well as honorable mention all-district as a junior and senior. The big man was also nominated as a McDonald’s All-American in his final season after leading the GCL in rebounding for two straight seasons. As a senior,
Sander also earned honorable mention allstate recognition. Academically, Sander ranked in the top five percent of his class.
Personal: Thomas is the middle child of Tom and Jane. His older sister, Bridget (22) is a senior at the University of Dayton and his younger brother Kevin (16) is a junior at Elder High School. Sander’s father also played college athletics, competing in football at Xavier.

Wildcat Summer Trip
The Team
Davidson players and coaches say the trip the Wildcats took to Italy during Aug. 7-20 this past summer was not only educational and exciting, but also helped prepare the team for the demanding schedule it will face during the 2005-06 basketball season. “We played against some excellent competition, and being there helped build our team camaraderie,” said senior frontcourt leader Ian Johnson. The players certainly learned to depend on each other, as they didn’t understand the language, the currency rates, or how to order certain foods. The Wildcats played against professional and national teams while winning four games and losing two. The players were unanimous in saying the Italian National Team, which won the Silver Medal at the Athens Olympics, was the best team they played against. “Poetry in motion,” was the way Johnson described the Italian team’s offensive sets. Said Eric Blancett, senior guard, “They were absolutely great in the way they passed the ball and kept it moving. And if we happened to beat them on the break, they just grabbed one of our guys at midcourt and fouled them. They took the foul rather than have us outnumber them.”
One of the first stops on the European trek was in beautiful Bormio, Italy.
The players said the brand of basketball they faced on the trip was much more physical than they experience in college basketball in the United States. “We played well on the trip against some tough competition,” said senior Chris Clunie. “The experience we gained on the trip should help us during our season. The

Italian National Team was the toughest opponent we faced on the trip, by far.” Senior guard Matt McKillop said he especially enjoyed the week the team spent in Bormio, Italy. “It was a small-town atmosphere,” McKillop said. “It gave us a chance to really experience the Italian culture in a community that was absent of the hustle and bustle of a big city.” Matt McKillop also said Davidson played two games in Slovenia that went down to the wire, against teams that were similar to the level of competition the Wildcats will face in the tough Southern Conference this season. The Davidson party began their trip in Bormio, Italy, where they stayed from Monday through Saturday. They took a day trip via bus to Livigno, Switzerland, which took them over the Alps and through a valley, a trip the players called “breathtaking in its beauty.” Davidson’s second opponent on the trip was the national team from the Central African Republic, a game Davidson won, 58-46 to even its record at 1-1. The Wildcats spent two nights in Treviso, Italy, and took a 25-minute train ride to visit Venice for a day. Davidson traveled by bus for four hours to Ljubljana, Slovenia to play 20 minutes away in Domzale, Slovenia, the hometown of former Davidson player Janko Narat ’94. The Wildcats played three games there, winning two and losing one.

The Team
To Europe
While in Bormio, the team took the opportunity to see the Italian Alps.
One of the byproducts of the trip was that it provided valuable playing experience for sophomores Thomas Sander, Boris Meno and Jason Richards, as all of them will be counted on this season. The four freshmen were not allowed, under NCAA rules, to make the trip because classes were not in session. International basketball rules prevailed on the trip, which meant a 24-second shot clock and a wider three-second lane. “The basketball was very physical,” said associate head coach Matt Matheny. “We played better as the trip progressed, and probably played our best in the last game of the trip.”
Matt McKillop said the players had been coached to understand that the officiating would be different from what they experience in America. “They call traveling almost the opposite of the way it’s called here,” McKillop said. “But it didn’t cause a big problem for us, because we had been warned about it.” NCAA rules allowed Davidson 10 days of practice at home before they left on the trip. “That was important,” Ian Johnson said, “because it gave us a chance to prepare for playing with internationl rules.” The six opponents that Davidson faced on the trip played mostly a physical manto-man defense. Some of the opposing
Venice, Italy was another historic place the Wildcats had a chance to visit.
players were familiar to the Wildcats, including former North Carolina guard Dante Calabria, who plays for the Italian National Team, and former Citadel forward Max Mombollet, who played for the team from the Central African Republic. How was the food the players enjoyed on the trip? “It was very good,” said Johnson. “The meals lasted a long time, which gave us time to have some good conversation at the dinner table.” All of the Davidson’s players agreed with Blancett’s one-word description of the trip: “Awesome!” Head coach Bob McKillop said, “The trip was educational for our players and positive in every way. It was a great experience.” Davidson has experienced some positive history from taking these trips abroad. They traveled abroad in 1998 and 2002, and both of those seasons saw them win Southern Conference Tournament championship and advance to NCAA Tournament competition. The Wildcats are hoping that history repeats itself.
Davidson had work to do on the trip as well, shown here at a game during a timeout in Domzale, Slovenia.

Each morning when coach Bob McKillop enters his office in Davidson’s Baker Sports Complex, he passes a December 1968 Sports Illustrated magazine that is displayed prominently, one that has a cover picturing North Carolina’s Charlie Scott, Kentucky’s Mike Casey and Davidson’s Mike Maloy, under a headline that reads, “Challengers to UCLA.” McKillop studies the photograph, and thinks, “We can do that.” We can do what? The 1969 Davidson team won 27 games, the most in school history, finished the season ranked third in the nation and fought powerful North Carolina to the final second before falling, 87-85, in the NCAA Elite Eight. One step from the Final Four. Davidson basketball can duplicate that storybook season? Go ahead, laugh at the supposition, or even scoff at it, but if McKillop didn’t believe in his heart that it could be repeated, he wouldn’t be in his 17th year as Davidson College’s head basketball coach. He’s a confessed dreamer. His players, who have seen his teams win seven of the last 10 Southern Conference Division championships, and four straight, call him a dream-maker. So do many of the nation’s leading coaches. “Many times you only hear about the coaches in the power conferences being great coaches,” says John Beilein, the highly successful West Virginia coach. “Bob McKillop is equal or better than any other coach that I know, and I’ve coached against most of the best in the country in my 13 years in Division I.” Like many outstanding coaches, McKillop cloaks himself in mystery lest he dare become predictable, a trait coaches aren’t allowed to have. His résumé tells an interesting story, one of dedication, discipline, preparation, competitiveness and humility. He was a successful baseball and basketball player at Chaminade High School in the New York City High School Catholic League, where one of his fellow students
in homeroom for four years was Bill O’Reilly of the O’Reilly Factor. Jack Curran, the coach at rival Archbishop Malloy High, helped him get a basketball scholarship to East Carolina. His last game at East Carolina was in the old Charlotte Coliseum in the 1969 Southern Conference tournament championship game, a 102-76 loss to Davidson, a game that stuck in his mind and later would have major consequences in his life. Homesick and ready to be closer to home, he transferred from East Carolina to Hofstra University where he became the team’s MVP and later was inducted into the Hofstra Basketball Hall of Fame. After graduation in 1972, he signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia 76ers but was cut. The 76ers went 9-72 that season. “I was cut from the worst team in NBA history,” McKillop jokes. Humility comes in strange packages. Reluctantly accepting the fact that his playing career was over, he took a job teaching history and coaching basketball at Holy Trinity High in Long Island in 1972. After a sparkling 86-25 record as coach, in 1978 McKillop was offered assistant coaching positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Davidson where Eddie Biedenbach had just been named head coach. In making his decision, McKillop recalled his last game for East Carolina, the loss to Davidson, the way the fans celebrated the championship. In making his decision between Penn and Davidson, he visited the Davidson campus in northern Mecklenburg County, was stricken with the beauty of the campus, the mission of the college, the uniqueness of the village. “Davidson, here I come!” The Wildcats went 8-19 that season. Penn went to the NCAA Final Four. Oh well. After one year on the Davidson staff, a great high school opportunity beckoned at Long Island Lutheran High School. McKillop went there as head basketball coach, director of summer programs, and for two years served as interim headmaster.

was late to a breakfast meeting last summer, McKillop waved it off, saying as he surveyed papers on the table in front of him, “No problem. I had plenty of work to do.” He carries his office with him. He grew up on Long Island and had a fascination with sports for as long as he can remember. He loved Army football and the legacy of the Black Knights of the Hudson. The first college basketball game that he saw in person was at Alumni Hall, St. John’s vs. NYU. He loved going to games at Alumni Hall and Madison Square Garden and dreamed of playing for NYU, a powerhouse at the time. Although he’s been in North Carolina for 17 years, he hasn’t lost the sharp edges of his New York brogue. His phone mail message begins, “How ya doin’?” His metaphors, which he often uses, speak of “Broadway stages,” and “magical carpet rides.” His coaching career at Davidson has been scintillating by any barometer. His Davidson record is 262-202. He’s coached Davidson longer than any basketball coach, has won more games there than any coach, and his 144 Southern Conference wins are more than any coach in league history. He’s been the SoCon Coach of the Year five times, including last season, has won seven conference division titles, two tournament championships, and taken his team to two NCAA tournaments and three postseason NITs. All this winning hasn’t come at any academic sacrifice, as 95 percent of his Davidson lettermen have graduated. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski calls McKillop “a sensational coach.” Texas coach Rick Barnes says, “There are some great coaches out there who deserve recognition, and Bob is at the very top of that list.”

Matt Matheny is in his 18th year as a member of the Davidson family. His association with the college dates back to even before Bob McKillop was hired as the Wildcats’ head coach, when he enrolled as a student in the fall of 1988. His time on the job and in the classroom give him a unique perspective on the school and its basketball program. “Having been a player and a coach at Davidson enables me to relate to our guys,” stated Matheny. “I can see both sides of the equation, having first-hand experience on the demands of Davidson, both academically and athletically, and what it takes to be successful.” When Matheny first arrived at Davidson, the Wildcat basketball program
finished the 1988-89 season with a 7-24 record as an independent. Since those days, he has become an integral member of a Davidson team that is considered a perennial candidate for the league title in the Southern Conference. Now in his 13th year on McKillop’s staff, Matheny was promoted to associate head coach following the 2002-03 season, after having served as the top assistant for the previous three years. In his new role he is more involved in day-to-day practices and is responsible for controlling the public relations aspect of Davidson basketball. Matheny will be the main point of contact for promoting the program throughout the community. “While I’ve been on staff, I have been responsible for almost every aspect of the program at one time or another,” commented Matheny. “At this point in my career Coach McKillop has given me responsibilities in areas he sees as strengths for me and also in areas that he wants to challenge me to improve.” In the 14 seasons Matheny and McKillop have been together, the pair has helped Davidson average nearly 18 victories a season. Since Matheny joined the coaching staff, the Wildcats have won 205 games, making him the all-time winningest assistant at Davidson. “Matt is the dean of assistant coaches in the Southern Conference,” McKillop said. “His experience, insight and work ethic have given him a great foundation to ready himself to be a head coach and take over his own program.” “Coach McKillop has shown me how to run a program at a great institution with integrity, and impressed upon me the value
of doing things in a detailed manner,” Matheny said. “You can do things the right way and be successful.” As a student, Matheny enjoyed stints as a hoops walk-on in the 1988-89, 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons, serving as captain his senior year. He was also captain of the football team as a junior and senior. A native of Statesville, N.C., just 20 minutes north of Davidson, Matheny was an accomplished student and athlete at North Iredell High School, starring in football, basketball and tennis. “Davidson is a great place to be,” Matheny commented. “It’s close to Statesville where I grew up, and now Jennifer and I are fortunate to call it home.” Matheny is married to the former Jennifer Collins. The couple has an 18month-old son, Brock, who was born in April 2004. The family resides in Davidson.

Coachng History
Jim Fox, who enters his fifth season on Bob McKillop’s staff, has been an integral part of the four consecutive Southern Conference division titles the Wildcats have shared. He has worked his way up to the second assistant position, which includes significantly greater responsibilities in individual player instruction as well as off-campus recruiting. It is no coincidence that Davidson has enjoyed successful seasons during Fox’s first four years. The fun-loving and hardworking coach with a track record of achievements quickly earned the confidence and trust of not just McKillop and the other assistants, but the players as well. “My years at Davidson have been a tremendous learning experience,” commented Fox. “As coaches, we face many different challenges every day. There is not a better group of people to face these challenges with than the people we have here.” He arrived on August 27, 2001, just after the team returned from its exhibition tour of Italy, and immediately got down to business. “The work ethic in this program runs from the coaches to the players,” Fox stated. “Everyone is working toward a common goal, and every effort is made to achieve that goal — being successful in the NCAA Tournament.” Fox, a native of Levittown, N.Y., spent five years as the associate head coach at
SoCon Tournament Champions 1966, ’68, ’69, ’70, ’86, ’98, 2002
St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay, N.Y. From 1996-2000, he also served as the head coach of the freshman team at St. Dominic, leading the squad to an overall record of 55-1 and four consecutive Catholic High School championships. From 1995 through 2001, Fox was the head coach and director of the Long Island Lightning AAU Basketball Club. The organization is the largest of its kind in the Northeast with 44 teams, and he coached more than 20 players who went on to play at the collegiate level. Fox also has his own basketball camp — the Fox Offensive Skills Basketball Camp — which operates for two weeks each summer in West Hempstead, N.Y. “Together with Matt, Jim provides great continuity,” commented McKillop. “Responsibilities cause him to wear many hats and he has been superb in fulfilling the expectations of each responsibility.” Fox graduated in 1995 from the State University of New York at Geneseo College, earning a bachelor’s degree in political science. “Every year the coaching staff and players push the program to new heights. We expect to compete for the conference crown and a bid to the NCAA Tournament year in and year out,” said Fox. Fox is currently single and resides in Davidson.

While this is just Landry Kosmalski’s second year on the Davidson men’s basketball coaching staff, he has been part of the Wildcat family for much longer. Kosmalski, a 2000 graduate of Davidson, was a standout forward for the ’Cats during his four years. He recently finished his professional playing career to return to Davidson basketball. “Professional experience, familiarity with Davidson, an outstanding work ethic, strong attention to detail and organizational skills are all qualities that Landry immediately brings to the table,” commented McKillop. “He wears Davidson College on his heart. It brought him great success as a player and it continues to bring him similar success as a member of the staff. We are absolutely thrilled to have him back on the team again.” Kosmalski spent three years playing in Sweden for the A1 league’s 08 Stockholm and Sodertalje Kings before competing in France two years ago. Stockholm won the Swedish championship upon Kosmalski’s arrival, as he took home the league’s forward of the year honor. Kosmalski played his final season with Valence, a team in southwest France.
“I’ve always felt very comfortable here in Davidson and always thought about coming back,” Kosmalski said. “Having experienced life as a Davidson student-athlete, I have a strong understanding of what the team has to go through day in and day out. Playing overseas also gave me new perspectives about basketball that have helped me transition into the coaching role.” Kosmalski was the Wildcats’ marquee player during his four years, helping Davidson to a Southern Conference championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament during his sophomore season. For his career, the power forward averaged almost 13 points per game, as well as nearly eight rebounds a game. Kosmalski ranks third alltime on Davidson’s rebounding charts with 877, 10th in scoring with 1,438 points and eighth in steals (121). The Bedford, Texas native is the only Wildcat to be named conference freshman of the year by both the media and the coaches. A two-time first team all-conference performer, Kosmalski ranked among the top three rebounders in the SoCon three of his four years. Landry is one of two Kosmalskis who have been a part of the Davidson basketball family. His younger brother Logan fol-
lowed in his footsteps and graduated last year after being an all-conference forward for the Wildcats. Kosmalski is currently single and resides in Davidson.

No stranger to the Southern Conference or North Carolina, former Western Carolina, Wingate and Appalachian State assistant Mike Craft is in his first season as Davidson’s director of basketball operations. Prior to joining the Wildcats’ staff, Craft spent one season as the associate head coach at Western Carolina and four years as an assistant coach at the school under former head coach Steve Surina. In his tenure with the Catamounts he was directly involved in all phases of the basketball program.

Along with taking part in the daily operations of the men’s basketball office, Craft’s primary responsibilities at Davidson are team travel arrangements and film exchange.

“It is truly an honor to be on Coach McKillop’s staff and to work at such a great academic institution,” said Craft. “Having spent nine years in the Southern Conference, I’ve watched Davidson win many games — always doing it in a firstclass manner. I look forward to contributing to the fine staff and helping out the players any way I can.” Before his stint at Western Carolina he enjoyed six seasons as an assistant coach at Wingate. A 1990 graduate with honors from Wingate, Craft helped guide the school to back-to-back conference titles and trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament, the school’s first-ever appearances. “Mike Craft is a talented and experienced coach who has a terrific understanding of the Southern Conference,” commented McKillop. “More importantly, his entire coaching career has been a model of loyalty and hard work. We are very fortunate to have him on our staff.” A native of Hickory, N.C., Craft began his coaching career in 1990 as a graduate assistant at Appalachian State, also a member of the SoCon, followed by a two-year stint as an assistant coach for the Mountaineers. Along with his everyday duties at ASU, he served as both the Boys’ and Teams’ Basketball Camp Director his final two seasons. While at Appalachian State he earned a master’s in social science education. Craft is married to the former Crystal Hewett. The couple lives in Cornelius with their recently-born son, Michael.

Without the services of head equipment manager Dan Morphis and his assistant, Will DuBose, the athletic scene at Davidson would simply Dan Morphis grind to a halt. Morphis (Appalachian State ’84) is an experienced veteran at Davidson College, as he is now in his 20th year. The biggest part of his job is purchasing equipment from sporting goods manufacturers. His insight and knowledge of the latest trends in the best available equipment keep the Wildcats supplied with the best tools in the competition arenas. In addition to his duties with the ’Cats, Morphis also lends his services to the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and the Kannapolis Intimidators, a Single-A baseball club. Morphis has also worked several preseason camps with the San Diego Chargers and the Washington Redskins. Joining Morphis in the equipment room is the ever-so-vital DuBose. He is a seemingly tireless worker who handles a majority of the laundering duties of the Wildcat uniforms, plus distributes equipment to the student-athletes. DuBose attended Fayetteville Tech for two years prior to joining the Davidson staff in the fall of 1983. Now in his 23rd year, only two coaches and one administrator have been with the department longer. Also on staff for the 2005-06 year is Jeff Koontz, a 2005 graduate of Winthrop with a degree in sport management. A native of Simpson, S.C., Koontz will be helping with all the day-to-day duties behind the scenes for the 21 varsity sports.
The Davidson strength and conditioning program operates under the guidance of Evan Simon. He came to Davidson in the fall of 2004 after spending the previous three years as a strength and conditioning coach at the University of Kentucky. Evan Simon While at UK, Simon worked primarily with the football and baseball teams, while also spending time with several other Olympic sports. The goal of the Davidson strength and conditioning program is to increase the strength, power, speed, conditioning levels and flexibility of all student-athletes, which also helps reduce the risk of injury. This fall, Davidson opened a 5,000square-foot weight room dedicated to the needs of the Division I student-athlete. The facility includes 16 power racks and eight lifting platforms as well as other lifting and conditioning equipment to train the entire body. Each team program, specifically designed by Simon, focuses to improve the sport energy utilization system and to increase strength and power to the primary muscle groups used in that specific sport. Simon earned his bachelor’s degree from Frostburg State and also has a master’s degree in exercise physiology from UK. He is certified by National Strength and Condition-ing Association (CSCS) as well as the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (SCCC). Simon welcomes 2005 Presentation College (S.D.) graduate Josh Mach to the staff this school year. Mach, a native of Aberdeen, S.C., was a health and wellness major with a minor in coaching.
The Davidson College Sports Medicine facilities are among the best in the region. Head athletic trainer Beth Hayford (Wingate ’93) oversees Davidson’s five other full-time, fullycertified licensed Ray Beltz athletic trainers as well student athletic trainers from UNC Charlotte who cover the school’s 21 intercollegiate sports. Ray Beltz, a 2000 graduate of East Stroudsburg, serves as the athletic trainer for the Wildcat basketball team. Recently married to the former Abbie Connoy, Beltz is in his fourth year at Davidson and is currently finishing his master’s degree from his alma mater. In the training room, there are many of the modern, technological machines that aid in the recovery from injuries, including ultrasound and electric stimulation. There are also three whirlpool tubs, a hydroculator and a paraffin bath. For rehabilitation, there is Nautilus equipment as well as several stationary bicycles, a treadmill, a shuttle and many injury-specific machines. OrthoCarolina in Charlotte serves as Davidson’s primary orthopaedic consultant, and Dr. Don D’Alessandro is the Wildcats’ team physician. From 1994 to 2001, he served as the first team physician for the Carolina Panthers. Today, he also serves as chief of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at Carolinas Medical Center. Dr. Skip Barkley, a general practitioner at University Family Physicians, also acts as one of the department’s primary physicians. Barkley, a 1979 graduate of Davidson, has served as a team physician for the Wildcats for more than a decade. He has also taken part in medical mission trips to Belarus, Nicaragua and Mexico. All coaches are CPR certified and have completed a community first-aid course to complement the efforts of the training room staff as necessary.

2004-05 Season Review Season-Opening Win
2004-05 Season
Davidson started the 2004-05 season with a tremendous road victory at Missouri on Nov. 19, 84-81. It was the first Wildcat victory in a season-opener since the 1996-97 season. For the second straight year, Matt McKillop led the Davidson offense in the first game, this time with a career-high 28 points on the strength of five three-pointers. Point guard Kenny Grant recorded the first double-double of his career, scoring 10 points while dishing out 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-point attempt in the final 20 minutes of play.
Basketball Programs of All Time.” Davidson ranked No. 80 on the list, one of only two SoCon schools that made the cut; Chattanooga ranked 81st. The programs were graded on the basis of NCAA Tournament success, NIT success, national championships, conference regular-season and tournament titles, all-time win-loss percentage, graduation rate, NCAA infractions, NBA first-round draft picks and mascot ferocity.

Brendan Winters had an amazing November and garnered SoCon Player of the Month for his efforts. The guard led the Wildcats with 18.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. The Denver, Colo., native netted 19 points on five-of-seven shooting from the field in Davidson’s win at Missouri and hit 10-of-17 against Duke for 24 points. Winters tied a school record against Georgetown, shooting five-of-five from three-point range. He shot 64 percent (16of-25) from beyond the arc and 59.6 percent (31-of-52) from the floor. The Davidson ‘D’ put together possibly its most dominating performance ever, holding Division III Maine-Farmington to a 19.7 percent shooting performance. That is the lowest known field goal percentage by a Davidson opponent. The 103-33 victory also extended the Wildcats’ home winning streak to 15 games, the longest such streak in Belk Arena history.

All-Conference Recognition Brendan Winters and Logan Kosmalski were both named to All-Southern Conference teams. Winters was named first team by both the coaches and media. Kosmalski was on the 10-member coach’s all-league team and earned second-team honors from the media.
Winters Among The Best
Brendan Winters was Davidson’s first conference player of the year in 35 years.
20-Win Season The victory over Wofford in the regularseason finale also gave the ’Cats their first 20-win season since the 2001-02 squad posted a mark of 21-10, and fifth overall under McKillop. Each of the five 20-win squads went on to postseason play.
Streaking The ’Cats finished the season having won 24 consecutive regular-season conference games. Georgia Southern was the last SoCon team to top the Wildcats with a 6260 win on Jan. 28, 2004. West Virginia holds the record with 42 straight wins in the mid’50s. Davidson has the next three longest such streaks — 27 from 1967-71, the current streak of 24, and 22 from 1963-66. In addition, Davidson has won its last 17 Southern Conference games in Belk Arena, going a perfect 8-0 in each of the last two years. The Wildcats’ last home league loss came at the hands of CofC on Feb. 25, 2003, a 94-89 overtime defeat. Davidson also had a 16-game winning streak during the season, its longest in nine years and third longest in the program’s history.
Brendan Winters found himself among elite company as he was named to the Associated Press All-America Team as an honorable mention. Once again his name is associated with Mike Maloy, the last Wildcat to receive All-America regonition from the AP. Winters was also selected for the 2005 United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District III Team. District III is made up of schools from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland. Winters was the only nonAtlantic Coast Conference (ACC) player on the 11-member team.
NIT-Pickings Davidson hadn’t been to the National Invitation Tournament since the 1995-96 season — coincidentally that Wildcat team also went undefeated in the Southern Conference regular season, but was unable to bring home the league tournament crown. Davidson’s 77-62 win at Virginia Commonwealth on March 16 was the firstever NIT win and first postseason win by a Wildcat 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 Southwest Missouri State three days later, Davidson tied the most-ever postseason wins in a season by any Wildcat team. The ’Cats won two NCAA Tournament games in both 1968 and 1969, but suffered losses to North Carolina in the Elite Eight in both of those seasons.

The 2004-05 Wildcats had some close calls in Southern Conference regular-season play, but always found a way to win in compiling a sparkling 16-0 record, a full four games better than the second-place team in the South Division and six games better than the North Division champion. Davidson is the first conference team ever to go through the regular season at 16-0. How impressive was that unbeaten conference record? Only one Division I basketball team in the nation other than Davidson went unbeaten in its conference regular season — the University of the Pacific. “Our 16-0 record in conference play is an experience that will stay with the players forever,” coach Bob McKillop said. “It was a magic carpet ride.” Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they ran into a red-hot UNC Greensboro team in the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament and lost, 73-68. The defeat left Davidson with a record of 21-8 and the bitter disappointment of not making the 65team NCAA Tournament field. However, Davidson was invited to the postseason NIT and made the most of it. The Wildcats went on the road and won by 77-62 at Virginia Commonwealth, and then scored an impressive 82-71 victory before a loud and appreciative audience at South-

west Missouri State, a win that McKillop calls “one of the best we’ve ever had here.” Continuing its excellent play, Davidson built a 17-point first-half lead at Maryland before faltering in the second half and losing to the Terps of the ACC, 78-63. The Wildcats had to feel good about the way they rallied themselves from the deep disappointment of not making the NCAA
tournament to playing some of their best basketball of the season in the NIT. Instead of sulking and feeling sorry for themselves, they went at the NIT with exceptional excitement and determination, even though all of their games in the tournament were tough road contests. The team’s final record was 23-9. “In order for us to respond so well in the NIT after not making the NCAA Tournament, it had to be an internal response from our team. It was a credit to our seniors, Logan Kosmalski and Conor Grace, as well as an outstanding class of junior leaders,” McKillop said. “It’s a great statement about the kind of people we have in our program.” It was also a year of superlatives for the ’Cats. Kosmalski and team-leading scorer Brendan Winters made the All-Southern Conference team, with Winters also being named the conference’s Player of the Year. Winters was named honorable mention All-America by the Associated Press and selected to the USBWA All-District III team, the only non-ACC player to make the squad. McKillop capped his 16th year as head coach of the Wildcats by taking conference Coach of the Year honors for the fifth time.

2002 NCAA Team Coming off a 15-17 record in 2001, and with virtually the same players back for the 2001-02 season, coach Bob McKillop felt game experience would help restore Davidson basketball to its winning ways. There was a catch: Davidson needed to stay healthy. Injuries had ravaged the ’Cats’ chances in 2001, and McKillop was looking for better luck. He knew he had experienced players in seniors Michael Bree, Emeka Erege, Martin Ides and Fern Tonella. In addition, Chris Pearson, Wayne Bernard, Peter Anderer and Michel Lusakueno were juniors, most with game experience. Unfortunately, injuries struck the team again. Erege endured a painful leg injury while Bree hurt his elbow in the Southern Conference Tournament, which kept him out of the NCAA Tournament. “This team will be remembered for fighting through many challenges, yet finding a way to succeed,” Coach McKillop said. “We had injury after injury, but the resilience of the players was inspiring. For instance, when (Bree) was hurt, Wayne, Terrell (Ivory) and Fern took over as a point guard committee and did a terrific job.” McKillop also praised the senior leadership on the team. “The team bonded in a way that those seniors are still extremely close to this day,” he said. The Wildcats ended the regular season tied with UNC Greensboro and East
Tennessee State atop the Southern Conference North Division standings with a league mark of 11-5. Davidson headed to Charleston for the conference tournament knowing that it had to win three tough games in order to get an invitation to the NCAA Tournament. After beating The Citadel, 71-58, and Wildcat nemesis UNC Greensboro, 68-58, Davidson found a way to overcome a 28-24 halftime deficit and rally to beat Furman in the championship game, 62-57. Anderer picked up the ’Cats in the second half, hitting five three-pointers, and in one stretch Davidson Booker Pearson Ides Tonella Bernard Anderer Erege Ivory White Grace Team Totals

The win sent Davidson to Albuquerque, N.M., for the NCAA Tournament as a 13 seed to face Ohio State. The 13,661 fans in The Pit quickly jumped on the side of the underdog Wildcats, who fought and scrapped and trailed only 33-32 at halftime. Davison got a sensational game from Ides, who scored a career-high 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Davidson led the game late at 59-58, but senior Brian Brown scored Ohio State’s next eight points to give the Buckeyes a 6561 lead with 2:35 to play. An Anderer 3pointer with 35 seconds on the clock shaved the deficit to one point. After two OSU free throws, Bernard broke open down the lane off the dribble, but his layup attempt tantalized the crowd by rolling off the rim. Ohio State prevailed, 69-64, yet the fans gave the Wildcats a standing ovation as they left the court. “It was a special team,” Coach McKillop said, “one that left us with many exhilarating memories.” Including one of the biggest wins in the program’s storied history, a 58-54 win over North Carolina in the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

1998 NCAA Team The Wildcats had high hopes for the 1997-98 basketball season. A strong cast of players returned, led by senior guards Mark Donnelly and Billy Armstrong, junior point guard Ali Ton, 6-0, junior forwards Ben Ebong and Chadd Holmes, and sophomores Landry Kosmalski, Stephen Marshall and Davor Halbauer, 6-3. Davidson finished 18-10 the previous season. Recent Davidson teams had produced 20-win seasons, trips to the NIT but the goal for 1998 was to get over the hump: win the Southern Conference Tournament

and go to the NCAA Tournament. Davidson and Appalachian State finished tied for first place in the SoCon’s North Division with records of 13-2. In the quarterfinals, the Wildcats got their tournament legs in a 74-68 defeat of Georgia Southern behind 20 points from Ton. The Citadel focused on shutting down Davidson’s perimeter game in the semifinals, so the ’Cats went inside and highlighted Stephen Marshall, who hit nine of 12 shots and scored 27 points. Ben Ebong came off the bench for 11 points and 10 rebounds, as Davidson won 68-59 to advance to the title game, fittingly against rival Appalachian State. It was a terrific game, back and forth the entire way. Ebong’s shot in the lane late kept Davidson ahead and directed the Wildcats to a 66-62 victory and the conference championship. Ebong was named tournament MVP and joined teammates Marshall and Donnelly on the all-tournament team with Ton making the second team. Appalachian State lost only three games all season to Southern Conference teams — all of them to Davidson. The Wildcats were off to Atlanta to play Michigan of the Big Ten in the first round of the Southeast Region of the NCAAs.

“Tractor” Traylor pulled away for an 80-61 victory. “Mark Donnelly and Billy Armstrong were our senior leaders,” coach Bob McKillop said. “The team hit the wall with a demanding schedule early, and we struggled in December. But we turned the corner the first week of conference play and really got going.” It was the Davidson team that returned the Wildcats to the national spotlight in the NCAA Tournament – for the first time in 12 years. “This team accomplished a lot for our program,” McKillop said.
1996 NIT Team Fans who have followed Davidson basketball for many years probably would say that the 1995-96 team is one of the best in school history. The team had a little bit of everything: five gifted seniors, explosive scoring that saw four players average double digit scoring for the season, three outstanding shot blockers, a defensive stopper in Jeff Anderson, quality depth and an offense that produced 123 more assists than its opponents on the way to a scoring average of 84.3 points a game. On average, Davidson outscored opponents by 16 points a game. Examples: 88-56 over East Tennessee State, 106-57 over Marshall, 71-46 over Georgia Southern, 9068 over Appalachian State. Those were all Southern Conference opponents. Davidson cruised through the Southern Conference regular season, winning the North Division by four games and seldom playing a close game while posting a league record of 14 wins, no losses. Senior Brandon Williams led the Davidson scoring parade at 18.2 a game. He could take it inside with his athleticism or outside with his velvet shooting touch, one that resulted in making 40.7 percent of this 3-pointers. He had plenty of help. Classmate Quinn Harwood scored 13.9 points a game, sophomore Ray Minlend checked in with 12.1 points a game, and junior Narcisse Ewodo
60
averaged 10.1 points. The quarterback was senior point guard Chris Alpert who contributed 9.4 points and averaged 4.3 assists. Bench scoring was terrific — Mark Donnelly (6.1 points), Anderson (5.5), Ben Ebong (5.5). Davidson had to earn its stripes all over again in the league tournament in order to get an automatic bid to the NCAAs. The quest began in the opening round by beating East Tennessee State for the third time, this time by 24 points. In the semifinals the ’Cats beat Marshall, also for the third time in the season, this one by 15 points. Then came the game that could punch Davidson’s ticket to the NCAAs. The championship game opponent was Western Carolina, which Davidson played only once during the regular season. The ’Cats prevailed 98-85, at Western in early February. An athletic team that won the South Division regular-season title in the with a 10-4 record, the Catamounts averaged 81 points a game during the season. The title game turned into a defensive struggle between two offensive-minded teams, and Western won, 69-60. The Wildcats ended their regular season with a mark of 25 wins against only four losses. They had reason to hope — even to believe — that they be would selected as an at-large entry to the tournament. When it didn’t happen, Davidson was dejected,
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 Western Carolina. “We had five seniors on the team and their dream was to play in the NCAA Tournament. The disappointment of not going to the NCAAs lingered as we prepared to play South Carolina in the NIT. Not getting to the NCAAs will forever haunt that team.” The accomplishments were many, and McKillop knows it ranks as one of his best Davidson teams.

Davidson lost 66-57 at Marshall and 76-70 at VMI to finish that part of its season with 17 wins and 10 losses. Maybe it was a good omen, because when Davidson traveled to Asheville, N.C. to open play in the SoCon Tournament four days later, VMI was the first-round opponent. Davidson would be ready.

1970 NCAA Team The storybook era of Davidson basketball under coach Lefty Driesell ended in the spring of 1969 when he resigned to become basketball coach at the University of Maryland, which he vowed to turn into “the UCLA of the East.” Driesell’s first recruit at Davidson and his former assistant coach, Terry Holland, was chosen to replace him as the Wildcats head coach. It was a good year to take the job. Davidson was 27-3 the year before,

and returning were stars Mike Maloy, Doug Cook and Jerry Kroll, plus precocious sophomore Bryan Adrian. Holland was excited. Before the season began, he said, “There isn’t any limit to what we can do. A national championship is a possibility.” Davidson made Holland look good when it ran the table in the Southern Conference, going 10-0 in the regular season and then romping through the conference tournament without playing in a close game. Outside the league, Davidson defeated Michigan, Georgia, Syracuse, Princeton and South Carolina, and lost by three points to Duke in overtime before a sellout crowd in the old Charlotte Coliseum. Champions of the Southern Conference, the Wildcats played St. Bonaventure in a first-round NCAA tournament game. Going against a St. Bonaventure team that featured 6-11 superstar Bob Lanier, who would go on to have a great career in the NBA, Davidson led 36-34 at halftime but eventually lost, 85-72. Lanier was just too much. He had 28 points, 15 rebounds, and his shot-blocking prowess made it tough on Maloy and Cook inside, as they combined to take only 24 shots, 11 of which were made. Davidson went to the perimeter game with Adrian taking 26 shots and making 12 en route to a 28-point performance. Davidson didn’t help itself by mak-

Over their three varsity seasons, Davidson won 73 games, lost only 13, and played in the NCAA Tournament each season, twice advancing to the Elite Eight where they lost to North Carolina each time. The Wildcats were prominently in the national picture during the entire MaloyCook-Kroll era. It was a special time in the village.

Sometimes Lefty Driesell, the former Davidson coach who guided the Wildcats to the rarefied air of the nation’s Top 10 basketball teams, sits in his beachfront house in Virginia Beach, Va., looking out at the ocean and wondering which of his many Davidson basketball teams was his best. Was it the brilliant 1964-65 team of Fred Hetzel, Don Davidson, Barry Teague, Dick Snyder and other standouts that finished the season with 24 wins against only two losses? It well could have been. Sports Illustrated picked Davidson number one in the nation in the preseason. That team beat Wake Forest twice by seven points each time, hammered Ohio State by 23, beat Virginia by 12, Alabama by 17, and dominated the tough Southern Conference, going unbeaten against the league in the regular season. It included two victories over conference rival West Virginia by nine and 23 points. What galls Driesell to this day is that team, as splendid as it was, didn’t even get a chance to play in the postseason when it lost by two points to West

Virginia in the conference tournament championship game, a loss that broke a 23game winning streak. The Wildcats were ranked sixth in the nation in the final poll of the season. “That team was good enough to make a serious run at the national championship,” Driesell said recently. “It had everything: good shooters, excellent rebounders and scorers, good ball handlers, and we could flat out play some defense.” Or maybe it was Davidson’s 1968-69 powerhouse team, which won 27 games and lost three, and was mere seconds away from going to the NCAA Final Four. “This is the team that won more games than any team I coached at Davidson,” Driesell said, “so maybe it was the best we ever had.” Certainly, a good case could be made for it. The Wildcats finished third in the nation in the season’s final poll. It was a team that had experience, depth, great rebounding, scorers, excellent ball handlers and defensive stoppers. In an effort to build his program and put it on a national stage, Driesell never ducked tough non-conference games.
The1968-69 team demonstrated the truth in that statement, as it defeated Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Maryland, Texas, Michigan, Wake Forest, Duke and Princeton. Again unbeaten in regular-season conference play, the Wildcats had to prove it all over again in the conference tournament, which it did by routing VMI, Richmond and East Carolina. It was a veteran and gifted team that Driesell took to the NCAA Tournament. Three juniors that came to Davidson in the same recruiting class made up the starting frontcourt: Mike Maloy, Doug Cook and Jerry Kroll. They complemented each other perfectly. Maloy was quicker than bad news and almost impossible to guard in the post and keep off the offensive glass. He was a ferocious rebounder and shot blocker. Cook was competitive, tough, liked to get inside and bang for position, and he could score from the low block. He and Maloy formed a rebounding tandem that gave opponents fits. Kroll was more of a finesse player, a player with savvy who could score, defend and rebound, and never lost his cool. The senior backcourt was special, featuring Wayne Huckel, 6-3, at the two-guard, and Dave Moser, 6-1, at the point. Those two had played on the varsity together for three seasons and fit like a hand in a glove. Two excellent senior players — Mike O’Neill and Mike Spann — were available off the bench. Davidson opened NCAA Tournament play with a 14-point win over Villanova. Then it was off to College Park, Md., for the East Regionals. After defeating St. John’s, 79-69, old nemesis North Carolina stood between Davidson and the Final Four. Ironically, one of North Carolina’s stars was Charlie Scott, a superstar who had verbally committed to Davidson during his high school recruitment but changed his mind and signed with North Carolina. The game that ensued was befitting of two superpowers. Close the entire way and heatedly contested, Davidson had the ball with under a minute to play in a tie game and was holding for the final shot. Kroll reversed his dribble near mid-court, and when he moved in the opposite direction he collided with North Carolina’s Gerald Tuttle, who had positioned himself to take a charge, which was the official’s call. Possession to North Carolina. In the North Carolina timeout huddle, coach Dean Smith told Scott, “They will be looking for you to take the final shot, so be patient, and if you see an open teammate, get him the ball.” Scott controlled the ball and never intended to give it up. It SoCon Tournament Champions 1966, ’68, ’69, ’70, ’86, ’98, 2002
was a final shot that he later said he wanted badly. With the scoreboard clock beating down to zero, and the score tied at 85, Scott got just inside the foul circle, jumped and fired. Nothing but net. The shot had such important meaning to so many people that some, including Driesell, believe Scott took the shot from deep on the court, from what Doug Cook, SoCon Tourney MVP would now be well beyond the 3-point arc. Tapes of the game, however, show that the winning shot was from about 18 feet, just inside the foul circle. Whatever the recollections of fans of both schools, everyone remembers Scott’s great game when he led all scorers with 32 points, which overshadowed the superb 13-rebound performance by Davidson’s Maloy. As the North Carolina bench exploded with joy on the home court of the Maryland Terps, Lefty Driesell dropped to his knees in front of Davidson’s bench, buried his head in his hands and stayed there for what seemed like an eternity. “We played great, and it was a tough loss to take,” Driesell said. It was the second year in a row that North Carolina had denied Davidson a trip to the Final Four. The 1968-69 Wildcats won more games (27) than any Davidson basketball team in history. So, was it Davidson’s best basketball team ever? “It could be,” Driesell said. “It won more games than any of my teams there. But some of my other teams were really good, too, so it’s hard for me to say.” The game with North Carolina turned out to be Driesell’s last as Davidson’s coach. In the spring of 1969, he left Davidson to accept the head coaching position at the University of Maryland.

Davidson’s 1967-68 Wildcats were an exciting blend of youth and experience, a combination so lethal that it had coach Lefty Driesell and the team’s fans thinking of a trip to the NCAA Final Four. Rodney Knowles, 6-9, was a senior frontcourt player who averaged 18.4 points and 12 rebounds as a junior, a season in which the rebuilding Wildcats won 15 games and lost 12. Key returning players from the 1966-67 team also included starting point guard Dave Moser (8.9 points), sharp-shooting wing Mike O’Neill (11.1 points, 5.4 rebounds), the swashbuckling Wayne Huckel, 6-3, who averaged 16.8 points as a junior, and was so tough that he wore baseball sliding pads to help survive the skid marks he received from diving on the floor. Tom Youngdale (10.7 points), and Mike Spann (5.5 points) also returned, among others. Joining those talented players were sophomores Doug Cook, Mike Maloy and Jerry Kroll (freshmen weren’t eligible to play varsity basketball in this era). As usual, the Wildcats under Driesell didn’t dodge a fight. They played the likes of Michigan, Vanderbilt, Memphis State, St. Joseph’s, St. John’s, Temple, Wake Forest and Duke. It was a splendid team, defensively tough and one of relentless rebounders. Davidson, led by Maloy’s average of 11.7 rebounds a game, out-rebounded opponents on a average of nine a game, and the stifling man-to-man defense that Driesell drilled into his players each afternoon resulted in opponents shooting only 39.8 percent for the season, as opposed to Davidson’s 49.4 percent. Stopping the ’Cats on offense was a complicated equation. Five players scored in double figures, led by Maloy’s 15.6 points, with Moser just out of double digits with an 8.6-point average. Driesell was a firm believer in attacking inside with high

percentage shots, which resulted in Davidson taking 134 more foul shots than its opponents. Davidson went through the Southern Conference regular season with a record of 9-1, and then won the conference tournament to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The ’Cats beat St. John’s in the NCAA opener, 79-70. It was off to Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh for the East Regionals, where Davidson was to meet Columbia of the Ivy League and North Carolina was to play unbeaten and third-ranked St. Bonaventure. North Carolina had a surprisingly easy time with Bob Lanier and St. Bonaventure (91-72) while Davidson eked out a 61-59 overtime win over Columbia. It set up a showdown between UNC and Davidson, a game Driesell had been clamoring for publicly. North Carolina coach Dean Smith had a policy that he would not play in-state schools during the regular season other than the ones in the ACC, and it galled Driesell, who accused Smith of ducking him. Reynolds Coliseum was filled to capacity (12,600) on Saturday night, March 16, 1968. A heavyweight battle was expected by fans and the media, and one resulted. Smith’s philosophy was to play his bench and keep fresh players in the game. Tired players could remove themselves from the game and put themselves back in when they were rested. Driesell, on the other hand, believed in playing his five starters and maybe one or two reserves. In this game, North Carolina played eight players and Davidson six. Davidson’s starters of
Moser, Huckel, Maloy, Kroll and Knowles were relieved by O’Neill, who scored seven points and pulled five rebounds in a superb performance. It was scintillating game from the outset. With the crowd roaring and often standing, Davidson took the early lead behind its defense and led at halftime, 3428. UNC shot 39.4 percent in the first half to Davidson’s 41.9 percent. However, North Carolina also prided itself on its defense, and while Driesell preferred straight man-to-man, with no switching, North Carolina went with a defensive smorgasbord of man-to-man, half-court traps and a point zone. North Carolina turned the tables in the second half, holding Davidson to 29.4 percent shooting from the field while the Tar Heels connected on 48.3 percent of its second-half shots. North Carolina won the game, 70-66, for the right to advance to the NCAA Final Four. But it was a sensational battle, one so good that an encore was needed. Moser and Maloy played all 40 minutes in the game for Davidson, with Knowles going 39 minutes. Four Wildcats scored in double figures, led by Maloy’s 18 points and 13 rebounds. Knowles cashed in 12 rebounds as Davidson dominated the backboards, 47-37. Ironically, North Carolina’s two leading scorers in the game, Rusty Clark (22 points, 17 rebounds) and Charlie Scott (18 points, six rebounds), were recruited extensively by Driesell. “People need to remember that the NCAA didn’t seed teams in those days,” Driesell said. “They kept you in your own section of the country. There were very few good teams in the West then and a bunch of good ones in the East. If the system had been in place then that’s in use now, Davidson and North Carolina both would have been No. 1 seeds. We wouldn’t have met before the Final Four. It’s a shame that we did, because both of us had great teams, in 1968 and 1969.” Davidson ended its season with a record of 24 wins, five losses. With so many talented players returning, the best was ahead, another great season that would result in yet another classic battle with the team from Chapel Hill.

Coach Lefty Driesell believed that his Davidson basketball team faced a mammoth rebuilding in 1965-66, which was true. After all, the Wildcats had lost to graduation All-America and Southern Conference Player of the Year Fred Hetzel as well as stars Don Davidson and Barry Teague from the previous year’s team that compiled a record of 24-2. Hetzel scored 2,032 points in his three varsity seasons, while Davidson was a tough defender and double-digit scorer and Teague was a talented, reliable point guard. The three had started for the Wildcats for three years and catapulted Davidson into the national basketball picture. To continue on the national stage in 1966, Driesell would have to depend on three inexperienced sophomores (freshmen were not eligible to play varsity basketball in those days.) But there was some good news, too. Some very good news. Back for his senior season was Dick Snyder, one of the greatest players in Davidson basketball history. Snyder had averaged 15.9 points a game as a sophomore and 20.2 points as a junior. In addition, he was one of the best defensive 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 faces would have to step up. They included Phil Squier, 5-11, an inexperienced senior, and sophomores Rodney Knowles, 6-8, Tom Youngdale, 6-10, and Bobby Lane, 6-3. “We lacked experience, but those guys certainly achieved a lot,” Driesell said.” That they did. Davidson won seven of its first eight, losing the opener to Wake Forest by one point before dropping a five-point decision to Navy in the Charlotte Invitational Tournament. The ’Cats entered the Southern Conference Tournament with a record of 17-5, meaning they would have to win the tournament championship in order to advance to the NCAA tournament. They were up to the task, defeating conference rivals The Citadel, Richmond and West Virginia. That sent Driesell’s team to the NCAA tournament and a date with Rhode Island, which Davidson won easily, 95-65. Then it was off to the Eastern Regionals, where Syracuse defeated Davidson 94-78. A consolation game to decide third place was played in the regionals in those days and Davidson lost to St. Joseph’s,
92-76, to end its season. It was a good year, maybe even an overachieving one, as Davidson finished with 21 wins and seven defeats. The Wildcats accomplished their mission of keeping Davidson basketball in the national spotlight, while giving Driesell time to load up with more talent. “Twenty-one wins is about as much as anyone could have expected from that team,” Driesell recalls. “They accomplished a lot.” Snyder won All-America honors with an absolutely sensational season. Even with all opponents gunning for him and often double-teaming him, he averaged 26.9 points a game while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 79.7 percent on his free throws. But offense was just part of Snyder’s game. He pulled 9.2 rebounds a game, and was Davidson’s best defensive player. “He was an absolutely great defensive player,” Driesell said. “I usually put him on the other team’s top scorer, and it was normal for him to hold the guy to 10 points less than his season’s average.” A master recruiter, Driesell said that the father of one of his Davidson players, Don Davidson, had seen Snyder play a high school football game in North Canton, Ohio. “Mr. Davidson called me,” Driesell said, “and told me he saw this great quarterback play, and the kid had jumped over a tackler in the open field on his way to a touchdown.” Intrigued by a football athlete with such speed and jumping skills, Driesell was off to North Canton to recruit Snyder. Ranked as one of the best high school football quarterbacks in the country, the big football schools were lined up to recruit him, including Ohio State and Notre Dame. But on the recruiting trail, Driesell took a back seat to no one, including Notre Dame football. He and Snyder had a great visit, the coach recalls, but Driesell said that Snyder told him he was going to the U.S. Naval Academy. “I gave him my telephone number and told him to call me if he changed his mind,” Driesell said. Not long afterwards, Driesell got the call he coveted. Snyder, Driesell said, was color blind and couldn’t be admitted to Annapolis. He wanted to come to Davidson and join the basketball revolution.

The Wildcats rode the talent of Dick Snyder all the way to the NCAA Tournament
“The day he signed with us,” Driesell said, “Notre Dame had people in his house trying to talk him into playing football for the Irish.” Getting Snyder to come to Davidson was worth all the work that Driesell put into it. He ended up as an All-American, the 1966 Southern Conference Player of the Year, and scored 1,703 points in just three seasons of varsity basketball. He went on to an extremely successful career in the NBA. He held Oscar Robertson, who many people think is the best guard in the history of basketball, to 14 points in one NBA game while scoring 14 himself. After the game, Snyder said, “Playing defense in the pros hasn’t been an especially difficult transition for me, because Coach Driesell taught me how to play it at Davidson.” While Snyder was the unquestioned leader and star, the 1965-66 Wildcats also got a sterling performance from sophomore Knowles, who averaged 19.4 points and led the team with 9.9 rebounds. Fellow sophomores Youngdale and Lane both averaged 10.2 points a game, while senior Squier scored 7.6 points a game. This Davidson team shot an impressive 51.2 percent from the field while holding opponents to 40.6 percent, and averaged 82.8 points a game. Pretty impressive for a rebuilding 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” at Davidson. He was that and more, one of the greatest players ever to wear the red and black. “He was special, that’s for sure,” said Driesell. For good measure, Snyder also starred in baseball for the Wildcats. “When it came to athletics,” Driesell said, “Dick could do just about anything he wanted to. That even included riding a bicycle better than anybody else.”

Coaching History Norman Shepard 169-120
Lefty Driesell
1937-49
Shepard held coaching ranks at Davidson for 12 seasons while also assuming the position of athletic director at the college. Shepard was active in basketball since his college days at Davidson and North Carolina where he received his bachelor’s degree. As coach of the Wildcats, Shepard’s win total of 169 has only been surpassed by Lefty Driesell and current coach Bob McKillop. Prior to Davidson, Shepard coached at UNC and in 1924 led an undefeated team to 25 consecutive wins and a recognized national championship.
176-65
Driesell might very well be the most recognized coach in Davidson basketball history. Coming from the high school coaching ranks where his teams at Newport News posted a record of 64-6 — including a 57-game winning streak and a state championship — Driesell was determined to put Davidson on the national map. As it turned out, he coached three of Davidson’s five All-Americans, led the Wildcats to their highest national ranking, took the ’Cats to the Elite Eight on two consecutive occasions and won SoCon Coach of the Year an unprecedented four straight times. His .730 winning percentage has yet to be surpassed at Davidson. Driesell coached the ’Cats to six straight 20-win seasons, also a mark that has not been outdone. After Davidson, Driesell was named conference coach of the year during stints at both Maryland and James Madison. He ended his career at Georgia State with 786 career wins, fourth all-time.

As an assistant coach and player under Driesell, Holland became the 13th Davidson head basketball coach. He continued where Driesell left off, leading the Wildcats to their third straight SoCon championship and an NCAA Tournament berth in his first season. Holland never had a losing season and was conference coach of the year in 1970, ’71 and ’72. During his five seasons, the ’Cats lost only seven league games. Holland ended his career after combining for 418 wins in 21 seasons at Davidson and Virginia. He also served as athletic director at both institutions.

Davidson Fast Facts Location: Davidson, North Carolina, 20 miles north of Charlotte Campus: 450 acre main campus; 106 acre Lake Campus No. of Students: 850 men, 850 women Student Distribution: 45 states and Washington, D.C.; 34 countries Living On-Campus: 92 percent First-year Students Returning for Sophomore Year: More than 96 percent Student-to-Faculty Ratio: 10.8:1 Average Class Size: 15 (over 70 percent of classes with fewer than 20 students) Faculty: 162 full time; 100 percent of tenure track with highest degree Majors Offered: 20 majors, 12 minors, plus Interdisciplinary Studies Other Interesting Tidbits: • Founded in 1837 by Presbyterians • Ranked among America’s strongest and most selective liberal arts colleges • Located in a friendly community near a vibrant city • Governed by a vital Honor Code • 162 faculty scholars teach 1,700 students • Alma mater to 23 Rhodes Scholars • Competing in 21 sports at NCAA Division I level • Over 70 percent of graduates with experience abroad • Off-campus programs in 17 locations worldwide
Athletics at Davidson College represent one aspect of a vigorous, vibrant liberal arts education, designed for highly-motivated and qualified students. Many Davidson students are scholar-athletes, long a tradition at this college. Nearly onequarter of Davidson’s 1,700 students are Division I athletes, and most others are involved in intramural sports. This interest in physical as well as mental discipline is an index of the energy and excellence that characterizes Davidson College. The college’s abiding goal is expressed in its statement of purpose: “The primary purpose of Davidson College is to assist students in developing humane instincts and disciplined and creative minds for lives of leadership and service.” Students move through a traditional liberal arts program that has been responsive to change with additions to the curriculum of programs such as medical humanities and gender studies, among others. Davidson has a tradition of educating leaders and training creative minds to think critically. Students learn alongside one another from a superb faculty of teacher-scholars, whose first priority is the classroom. Here they receive a sound liberal arts background as preparation for careers in healthcare, the law, banking, management, politics, government service, the ministry, teaching, social science and the arts. Within five years of graduation, the majority of Davidson alumni have returned to school for postgraduate study. Community is key to the Davidson experience, and the remarkable and consistent success of Davidson alumni may be rooted in the reverence for values and commitment to service that permeate the campus ethic. One way Davidson pro-
motes such ideals is through its honor system, one of the most distinctive aspects of campus life. The benefits of the trust instilled by the Honor Code are many: exams are self-scheduled; tests and reviews are unproctored; the library operates without a security check; and the student Honor Council arbitrates alleged Honor Code offenses. More than one-quarter of all Davidson students study for a term or a year abroad. Davidson sponsors Junior Year Abroad programs in France and Germany. In addition, there are programs available in England, France, India, Spain, Mexico, Cyprus, Ghana, Greece and Italy.
President Bobby Vagt
The College 94
Davidson College’s 16th president, Robert F. Vagt ’69, began his tenure as college president on July 1, 1997, succeeding John W. Kuykendall ’59. Vagt graduated from Davidson with a psychology degree in 1969, then earned a master’s degree in divinity from Duke University. He was ordained to the ministry by Concord Presbytery, the presbytery that founded Davidson College in 1837. Though he chose not to pastor a church, he has maintained his ordination and continually been involved in the Presbyterian churches where he lived as parish associate, with a primary responsibility for youth programs. Vagt’s career has included work as a director of clinical programs in the Northwest Alabama Mental Health Center and as executive director for the Municipal Assistance Corporation for the City of New York from 1979-80 to help save that city from bankruptcy. Since 1980 he has helped lead international oil and gas exploration
and production companies in Houston. Most recently, he was chairman, president and chief operating officer at Seagull Energy Corp., including numerous international ventures. Vagt is very active on campus, particularly at athletic events. From football to field hockey, men’s basketball to women’s lacrosse, he is one of Davidson’s most vocal supporters.

Athletics Director and Staff AD Jim Murphy Jim Murphy was introduced as Davidson College’s Director of Athletics in November of 1995, returning to his alma mater to lead the Wildcats on the eve of their 100th anniversary of intercollegiate athletics and into the next century. Prior to his appointment at Davidson, Murphy, 49, spent 10 years as executive associate athletic director and chief financial officer for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. Murphy, an Atlanta native, played football and baseball during his freshman year at Davidson. His experience has been invaluable as Murphy guides a program which is unique in its desire for excellence in both athletics and academics and has one of the smallest enrollments among NCAA Division I schools. Reflecting his support of academics, Davidson’s NCAA graduation rate of 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02 and the college was second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent. “I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics and think the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after graduation proves that. It’s true that Davidson needs intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.” Since Murphy’s return to Davidson, the Wildcats have pursued several major capital projects, including a $10 million fundraising campaign to create the highlyinnovative Davidson Scholarship Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and at Smith

Field/Richardson Stadium. The last three years have seen the creation of the Belk Artificial Surface Field for field hockey and lacrosse, the new Alumni Stadium for soccer and Wilson Field, the renovated baseball stadium. Completed this fall is a football stadium expansion project, which includes a state-of-the-art weight room and additional permanent seating. Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division IAA/I-AAA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year, recently completed a four-year term on the prestigious NCAA Division I Management Council, a policymaking body within the NCAA governance structure. He chaired the Division IAA Governance Committee and formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet, the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 2002 to 2004, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and also served as Tournament Director of the Firstand Second-Round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. Murphy is a member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and serves as Vice President of the Executive Committee of the Division I-AA Athletic Directors Association. He was also a member of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate athletics.
Murphy, a Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidson with a degree in economics, earned a master of science degree in management from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as an audit manager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick in Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits of public and private companies with up to $1 billion in assets. Murphy has been active in the community since his return to Davidson and serves on the Board of Managers and Finance Committee of the Lake Norman YMCA, the Board of Directors of the Charlotte Regional Sports Commission, served three years on the Board of the Charlotte Council for Children and three years on the Board of Directors of the Town of Davidson Youth Baseball League. Murphy’s 21-year-old son, Matt, is a junior at the University of North Carolina.

Southern Conference
Membership History The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools — Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt — joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined
the ranks. Virginia Military Institute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history. The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest officially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, Chattanooga, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Western Carolina and Wofford. The most recent addition, Elon University, joined the league on July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced VMI which left the conference on June 30, 2003. East Tennessee State, which joined in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year.
Basketball Men’s basketball was the first sport in which the conference produced a championship. The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship held in Atlanta in 1922. Not only was the Southern Conference Tournament the first of its kind, the league also helped change the face of college basketball in 1980 when, at the request of the NCAA Rules Committee, the league began a season-long experiment with a 22foot three-point field goal. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first threepoint field goal in college basketball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State. Another college basketball tradition that originated in the SoCon is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. According to USA Today, the practice of SoCon Tournament Champions 1966, ’68, ’69, ’70, ’86, ’98, 2002
net cutting originated in 1947 with North Carolina State head coach Everett Case. As a first-year head coach with the Wolfpack, Case led State to the SoCon Tournament title with a 50-48 win over archrival North Carolina. To commemorate the event, Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir of the win. The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Lefty Driesell, most recently the head coach at Georgia State, coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach-ofthe-Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. Holland later led Virginia to the Final Four in 1984. After his coaching career concluded, Holland returned to the Southern Conference as the athletic director at Davidson from 19901995 before accepting the same position at Virginia and now at East Carolina.
Leadership Entering the 2005 football campaign, Geoff Cabe serves as the Southern Conference’s interim commissioner. A member of the conference staff since 1988, Cabe has been involved in every facet of the SoCon’s operation. Since 2002, he has been senior associate commissioner where his duties have included serving as the executive producer for all of the SoCon’s championship events and coordinator of all external relationships for the conference. Cabe previously headed up the league’s media relations department (199195) and its championships area (1995-99) and has been both an assistant commissioner and associate commissioner. Cabe, now in his second term as the interim commissioner, replaced Danny Morrison who served as commissioner from November 13, 2001 until June 15, 2005. Morrison recently became the director of athletics at Texas Christian University. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference.
The College
The Southern Conference, which enters its 85th season of intercollegiate competition in 2005, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the studentathlete and defining the Geoff Cabe league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders Interim Commissioner and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earning that classification in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), Missouri Valley (1907), Pacific 10 (1915) and Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn and North Carolina. The SoCon is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Belk Arena No Place Like Home Davidson’s overtime victory over Penn on Nov. 28, 2000, was the Wildcats’ 100th victory in Belk Arena. Over the past four seasons, the Wildcats have won 46 of 53 home games, and currently boast a 154-56 (.733) overall record in Belk Arena. That record is even more impressive since rejoining the SoCon in 1992-93 at 127-33 (.794). Davidson’s record in Belk Arena is listed below since the sports complex opened in the fall of 1989:

Though it has only been in existence since 1989, Belk Arena obviously holds the strong tradition of Davidson basketball. Seven NCAA Tournament banners, numerous Southern Conference championship pennants, four NIT flags and retired jerseys with names like Hetzel, Snyder, Gerdy, Cobb and Rucker hang from the rafters that reflect the Wildcats’ proud basketball history. Belk Arena in the Baker Sports Complex has evolved into a setting opponents have grown to fear and has become part of an atmosphere that oozes with excitement. Over the last 13 seasons, Davidson has averaged more than 18 wins per season and won or shared a Southern Conference division championship for seven of the last 10 years. On the way to a 25-5 record in 1996, the ’Cats were a perfect 14-0 in the Southern Conference and 12-1 at home. Two years ago, the Wildcats accomplished a new feat, posting a perfect 13-0 record in Belk Arena. With Davidson’s first home victory last year, the ’Cats posted their longest winning streak (15) ever in Belk Arena. In the last 12 seasons, Davidson has gone 127-29 (.814) in Belk Arena. The past six years have seen new attendance records set as well as fans storming

Belk Arena — with 5,700 seats for basketball — is the centerpiece of the Wildcats’ athletics facilities. Davidson has hosted some of the nation’s top teams on its home court, including opponents from the ACC, SEC, Big East, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA. Davidson demonstrated its ability to compete with the best in athletics, despite being such a selective school, by participating in the Men’s Basketball Division I NCAA Tournament in 1998 and 2002. In addition to Belk Arena, other features of Baker Sports Complex are the Carl and Louise Knobloch Tennis Center, Cannon Pool, Dickson Administrative Wing and Finley Education Center, plus the Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room, a weight room, sports medicine center, four racquetball courts and one squash court. Belk Arena is named in honor of John M. Belk ’43, a former captain of the Wildcats’ teams, a Davidson College trustee for more than 15 years and former mayor of Charlotte. It is a perfect setting for the Wildcats as they set their sights on another Southern Conference title and another trip to the NCAA Tournament.
