YOUnG WIlDCATS TO TURn UP DEFEnSIVE PRESSURE

DAVIDSOn COllEGE mEn ’ S BASKETBAll

Davidson coach Bob McKillop is always up for a good challenge. That’s the good news, because with seven players graduated from last year’s Southern Conference champions, he has his work cut out for him if he hopes to keep the Wildcats in a challenging position for the 2007 SoCon championship. Last year’s seven seniors were more than experienced players. They were leaders, talented players, and young men who were able to step up in the clutch and deliver winning performances. McKillop will have to find a way to replace the two leading scorers from last season, Brendan Winters and Ian Johnson. Combined, they averaged 33 points and 10.2 rebounds a game. Winters was a former SoCon Player of the Year, and Johnson was an AllConference player. The team’s assist leader (6.7 a game) and starting point guard, Kenny Grant, became an exceptional player in McKillop’s system, and he graduated. Matt McKillop started for three seasons and ranks second to Winters in threepoint field goals made in a Davidson uniform. Jason Morton averaged 10.7 points and was maybe the team’s most explosive player. Also missing from last season’s team are Eric Blancett and Chris Clunie, both of whom made major contributions to winning. Missing from last season: 59.5 of the 77.5 points that the Wildcats averaged. Four of the seven (Winters, Johnson, McKillop, Grant) are playing professional basketball in Europe. The duo of Winters and Johnson made Davidson almost impossible to guard, because there was no way to overplay one with-

out the other excelling. Winters had the overall game that kept defenders on their heels, prompting McKillop to call him one of the greatest players in Davidson’s basketball history. Johnson, meanwhile, had an unorthodox inside game that baffled post defenders inside the SoCon and out, causing McKillop to label him the most explosive offensive post man that he’s had at Davidson. That covers a lot of ground. The seniors left a legacy that should inspire this year’s team. The four-year record was 77-41, and an even more impressive 52-14 in the SoCon, which featured an undefeated regular season in the league in 2005 and a 20-11 record in 2006. The graduating class played in the NCAA tournament in 2006 and the postseason NIT in 2005, finishing that tournament with a 2-1 mark. Tradition is important to maintaining a winning program, and the seven graduated seniors enhanced the Davidson Way in many areas. But the beauty of college basketball is that players move on and new ones are called to center stage. They’ve waited for their turn, and that is now. That’s Davidson’s deal this year. But nobody in red and black has any intention of backing down or conceding an inch. Especially the head coach. “We have a system here that has been successful,” McKillop said, surveying his young team’s chances of continuing the winning ways. “We fine tune and subtlety change it every season, depending on our personnel, but the foundation has been laid. We will continue to be aggressive and attack on offense, and play in an unselfish manner. Defensively, our hall-

mark is our half-court man-to-man. But we will continue to be a multiple defensive team, even with our young roster.” McKillop said Davidson has a “new cast of players and not great experience. We look forward to them getting playing experience, gaining confidence, and becoming a cohesive group.” The Wildcats will use their roster extensively this season, so don’t be surprised if as many as 11 players end up in the rotation. There are question marks, sure. There’s some mystery, a bit of anxiety that comes from not knowing precisely what to expect. Everyone’s role has changed from last season, so how effectively will the players adjust to those new assignments and how long will it take them? Some role players from last season will assume the leadership mantle this year. How will they react to the pressure of having new assignments? With the limited experience that some of the players bring to the court, will this year’s team be able to come close to shooting like last year’s championship team? How much contribution will the team get from four incoming freshmen, some of whom will be asked to play early, and maybe in prominent roles. John Falconi, 6-4, a substitute for three seasons, and backup point guard Lamar Hull are the only seniors on the team. Much of the leadership will fall on the shoulders of the junior class: Boris Meno, Thomas Sander and Jason Richards, who were elected tri-captains of this year’s team. They appear ready to take on added duties, and McKillop is confident they will perform with skill and poise.

Junior Thomas Sander

competitor that doesn’t like to lose. “Andrew has the best combination of strength and athleticism on the team,” McKillop said. “His quickness on the perimeter gives us a lot of defensive options, and his quickness and power should help us with offensive rebounding and in our post-up game.” Lovedale got a taste of college basketball last season, averaging 5.8 minutes a game. He’s expected to assert himself more this season, which should lead to healthy statistics in the areas of rebounding and blocked shots. Redshirt freshman Stephen Rossiter, 6-7, 230, from Staten Island, N.Y., and freshman Dan Nelms, 6-9, 215, from Lake Forest, Ill., via Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, will provide depth in the frontcourt. “Both of these young men are untested against Division I competition,” McKillop said. “But they are sponges, in that they want to soak up every ounce of basketball knowledge that they can.” Rossiter had his moments in practice last season before he hurt a foot that nagged him all season. He’s a battler with exceptional strength. Nelms averaged 10 points a game as a high school senior and showed the ability to play inside as well as on the perimeter.

BACKCOURT

Junior Boris Meno

Junior Jason Richards

Jason Richards, 6-2, 190, from Barrington, Ill., learned for two seasons behind Kenny Grant at point guard. But Richards did a lot of his learning while contributing on the court. He averaged 15 minutes a game last season, and many times he came off the bench to jump-start the Davidson offense during periods of sluggish play. He scored 4.5 points a game, hit 49 percent of his shots from the field, 81.6 percent from the free-throw line, while recording 92 assists, which was second on the team to Grant. Richards is a natural point guard with a high basketball IQ who thinks the game in a way that provides McKillop with a coach on the floor. While he thinks pass first, he will punish defenders who think he won’t take the open perimeter shot or drive the ball to the basket, especially in transition. “Jason is our leader at point guard,” McKillop said. “He had some outstanding games for us last season, and he’s improved and more consistent now. He is strong and clever with the ball, and his shooting is the best it’s been since he’s been in our program. We will ask him to call our defensive signals and get us in the right sets on offense.” Point guard is a vital part of any offense, and in McKillop’s scheme it’s magnified because he expects a lot from the man playing that position. For that reason, a lack of experienced players behind Richards could be a concern.

Thomas Sander, 6-8, 220, and Boris Meno, 6-8, 220, both juniors with game experience, will be asked to lead the way in the frontcourt. Both reported to preseason in excellent shape, and are bigger and stronger than they were a season earlier. “Thomas and Boris displayed real flashes of brilliance toward the end of their sophomore seasons,” Coach McKillop said. “Each of them continues to search for the consistency that they need to have in order for us to be successful. Both of them are improved players, and they complement each other well. I would say Thomas and Boris have improved their back-to-thebasket scoring as well as their threepoint shooting. They understand our system well.” Sander, a tough inside battler from Cincinnati, averaged 6.5 points and six rebounds a game as a sophomore. An unselfish player, he will need to look to score more this season, and his 61 percent shooting from the field last year indicates that he ought to be able to excel in his new offensive role. Sander can expect to go to the foul line frequently this season, so an emphasis in the preseason was for him to improve on his 57.7 percent free-throw shooting. Sander was one of the team’s best defenders as a sophomore, and his performance as a post defender should be even better this season. Meno is an exciting player who likes to get out and run the court in Davidson’s transition game. He averaged 5.6 points and led the team with 6.6 rebounds while playing just over 19 minutes a game. Gaining consistency is key for Meno’s season, and maybe for Davidson’s, too. He shot 44.9 percent from the field as a sophomore, but he has the potential to improve on that, which he expects to do. He and Sander are capable of pulling up in Davidson’s secondary break and knocking down the three-point shot from the top of the key. Meno made 8-of-17 threes last season, and his perimeter shooting has improved with added confidence. Meno can be an intimidating defender in the post area. He led the Wildcats with 18 blocked shots a season ago, and his quickness and leaping ability should make him a ferocious defensive rebounder and shot blocker. Sander and Meno could get plenty of help from sophomore Andrew Lovedale, a powerful and explosive player who improved immeasurably during the course of last season. Lovedale is 6-8, 215, from Benin City, Nigeria. He has a smile and pat on the back for everyone off the court, but once between the painted lines, he’s a

Can Civi, 6-1, from Istanbul, Turkey, played sparingly in 11 games as a Davidson freshman last season, but he improved his game during the off-season and could get playing time when Richards needs a rest. The same can be said of Lamar Hull, 5-9, 165, a senior from Maiden, N.C., who has limited game experience but is a valuable practice player. The Davidson coaching staff is excited about the potential and work ethic of sophomore Max Paulhus Gosselin, 6-6, 195, from Carignan, Quebec. Max got his feet wet last season by playing in 16 games. He has improved his shot significantly, and he’s athletic enough that McKillop thinks he could play him some at the point. He reported to preseason camp in excellent physical condition. “Max is a superb athlete with high energy,” McKillop said. “His shot has improved so much that he’s earned the confidence of his coaches to take the open shot. He’s a tremendous backcourt defender who should help us, especially when we extend our defensive pressure.” John Falconi, 6-4, from Cincinnati, saw action in 12 games last season. An excellent shooter, Falconi follows in the footsteps of his father, who was an allconference player from 1971-74. One young man who has a chance to contribute significant minutes in his freshman season is Stephen Curry, 6-1, 180, from Charlotte Christian High School. Curry’s father, Dell, was a standout collegiate player at Virginia Tech and then in the NBA for the Charlotte Hornets. Stephen Curry is an outstanding shooter who hit 48 percent of his three-point attempts as a senior at Charlotte Christian. He made the All-State team as a high school junior and senior. Curry showed in the preseason that he has the athletic skills to get his shot against good college defenders, and he’s fearless when he takes the ball to the basket. He has the potential to be a special player for the Wildcats. “Stephen has a great feel for the game, excellent natural instincts,” McKillop said. “When you combine his skills and athleticism with an exceptionally high basketball IQ and excellent toughness, you get a rare talent. It’s not often that you see a freshman with all those traits, and he’s also hungry to be an excellent player.” Curry will play on the wing, but his skills could allow him to see some time at point in place of Richards. William Archambault, 6-6, 210, from St. Hubert, Quebec, is another freshman that will compete for playing time at a wing position. He plays the game with high energy and can shoot the rock. He’s not afraid to take his knocks under the basket, either. An All-Canadian player as a high school senior,

Archambault averaged 16 points and five rebounds a game as a senior. “Will is powerful and athletic,” McKillop said. “He is an excellent shooter and good scorer. He and Max (Paulhus Gosselin) came to us from a high intensity prep school program, Champlain St. Lambert in Quebec, where they were taught basketball skills and how to compete at the highest level by coach John Dangelas.” Another freshman in the mix at wing is Bryant Barr, 6-4, 185, from Falmouth, Maine. Barr is uncanny with his shot from long range, and also excels as a jump shooter. Barr had a storybook senior season in high school, as he averaged 25.5 points a game while shooting 82 percent from the foul line. He also grabbed 6.5 rebounds a game and dished out 3.9 assists en route to being named Maine’s Mr. Basketball. He was named all-state twice in his high school career. The challenge for Barr at Davidson will be on defense, where he will have to adjust to guarding some of the quick wing players in the SoCon. “He was an exceptional high school scorer,” McKillop said of Barr. “He’s a very good shooter.”

DAVIDSOn’S WAY This group could well develop into one of the most athletic teams that McKillop has had in his 17 previous Davidson seasons. There is speed in open space, quickness in tight quarters, and strength, power and leaping ability underneath the basket. While it’s highly unlikely that this year’s team will mature quickly enough to match last season’s senior-laden team in half-court offensive execution, or shoot as well in the half-court offense, there is a good chance that it can get generate more points off its defense than last year’s team did. For instance, when McKillop goes to his 1-3-1 zone, he could have either Lovedale, 6-8, Meno, 6-8, or Paulhus Gosselin, 6-6, playing on the point of the zone, which would make passing over such height, long arms and quickness extremely difficult and risky. Those three players are athletic enough to play such a defensive role. The versatility of the players could well develop into one of Davidson’s major strengths as Coach McKillop maps strategy heading into the conference season. As the young players gain experience with the system, McKillop hopes to extend his defense, which he thinks will create turnovers and generate some run-out baskets as well as present other high percentage scoring opportunities. When Davidson extends its defense, it’s inevitable that it will be beaten at times, but if Meno, Lovedale or Sander is back to erase the mistakes, it’s a risk

well worth taking. And McKillop has always been adamant about this: If we don’t attack the opponent and put him on his heels, then we extend an invitation for him to attack us. “Because of our athleticism, this could be a risk-taking team,” McKillop said. “While lack of experience could hurt us early in the season, I believe our defensive pressure will generate some excellent scoring chances for our offense. That’s not been the case here for a number of years. It’s important that we generate some offense from our defense, in order to make up for the great shooters that we lost from last year’s senior class.” McKillop also hopes to generate offense by getting the ball off the defensive glass and getting out on the break. He thinks he has the rebounders to accomplish this, as well as the speed with his big men and wing players to run the court and put pressure on the opponent’s transition defense. Of course, to run off an opponent’s missed shot, the rebound must first be retrieved. That’s step one. “I love our approach to rebounding,” McKillop said. “We have players who are hungry to get the basketball off the glass at both ends of the court. Our players approach it like a shot is a pass to them. They pursue the ball relentlessly. All of our frontcourt players have the ability to be excellent rebounders, and our wing players are extremely athletic and love going to the glass.” As usual, the schedule is challenging. The Wildcats open the season Nov. 10-12 at the University of Michigan in the John Thompson Challenge. They play in the Arizona State Hoops Classic Dec. 21-22, as well as at Missouri and at Duke. Illinois-Chicago, Western Michigan and Charlotte’s 49ers play at Davidson. “There’s always a danger in playing too many good teams outside our conference,” McKillop said, “because it could conceivably hurt the confidence of our young players. There’s more chance for that to happen with a young team than with a veteran team.” In addition to a strong slate outside the league, McKillop expects the SoCon to be strong this season. “There are some talented and experienced teams in the league,” McKillop said. “I would think that we lost more than any other team in the conference. Last year, we were probably the most experienced team in the conference, and this year we’re more in the middle of the pack in that category.” The young Wildcats have talent and depth. If McKillop does his usual job of building great team chemistry, and the young players gain experience to the point that they can contribute in tight game situations, Davidson could be a scary team by tournament time.

2003-04

Davidson basketball is in Falconi’s blood. His father was a star basketball player for the Wildcats and his sister, Sarah, was an outstanding player for the school’s women’s soccer team. Falconi is an effective 3-point shooter, and at 6-4, 205, is big and strong enough to get his shot in the backcourt. He is one of only two seniors on this year’s team.

Walked on to the squad in the fall, seeing his only action of the season against Clarkson.

2005-2006 Falconi appeared in 12 games as a junior, and in four of those outings he was perfect from 3-point range. He was 5-for-7 beyond the arc for the season. He matched his previous best of three points a game on five occasions last season. In a 112-59 victory over St. Mary’s, he made a 3-pointer, grabbed a rebound and set up another basket in four minutes of playing time.

2004-2005 Falconi produced the first points of his college career with a field goal against Maine-Farmington. He also recorded his first college rebound, block and assist in the game. Three weeks later he played a season-high five minutes against Sewanee and had a rebound and a steal. He played in two conference games, but his major contribution to the team came in practice where he competed at a high level against the starters and challenged the starters to become better.

high sChool Falconi played basketball, baseball and soccer at Summit Country Day School in Cincinnati. He earned honorable mention all-conference and all-district honors as a guard following his junior season in basketball. He led his team in scoring as a senior, and his overall good play led to him being named team MVP as well as first team all-conference.

PErsonal John is the youngest child and only son of John and Maureen. He has two sisters, Sarah (27) and Katie (24). John’s father and sisters are Davidson graduates. Sarah was a star defender on the women’s soccer team from 1997-00 and Mr. Falconi was a two-time All-Southern Conference basketball player for the Wildcats in the ’70s.

Hard working and competitive, Hull trained hard in the offseason to improve his game. He is a valuable player in practice, and his quickness and desire provide a challenge for Davidson’s starting guards in practice.

A native of nearby Hickory, N.C., Hull is the youngest of three kids. His siblings are Eric (23), who played basketball at Brevard College in Asheville, N.C., and Shanta (25). His cousin, Lamont, also had a standout athletic career playing football at Western Carolina and later signing as a free agent with the Tennessee Titans of the NFL.

He’s expected to be a leading player for the Wildcats in his junior season. Meno, 6-9, is strong, quick and fast, and can thrill the home crowd with his propensity to block shots and run the court. A native of Paris, France, he can outrun many big defenders who assigned to guard him. Davidson’s coaches expect him to be a major factor in the frontcourt, not only with his ability to score but also to rebound and block shots. Meno has worked hard to improve his offense, and his perimeter shooting and back-to-the-basket scoring have improved. He and forward Thomas Sander give the Wildcats two big men who are capable of scoring inside and outside.

JASON RICHARDS IQ allows him to think the game in a way that provides McKillop with a coach on the floor. He will take the open perimeter shot or drive the ball to the basket, especially in transition. His confidence has soared as he enters his junior season.

6-2 w 190 Junior guard Barrington, ill. Barrington sCouting rEPort After serving as the team’s backup point guard behind starter Kenny Grant for two years, Richards is expected to start there in his junior season. Richards made many valuable contributions to the Wildcats his first two seasons, and played an average of 15 minutes a game as a sophomore. Jason is a natural point guard with a pass-first-shoot-second mentality. His high basketball

Richards played in 31 games, averaged 4.5 points and hitting 49 percent of his shots from the field, plus 81.6 percent from the free-throw line. He had 92 assists, which was second on the team to Grant. Richards wasted little time proving the Wildcats didn’t miss a beat when he was on the floor as the native from just outside Chicago scored a career-high 13 points, eight of which came in overtime after Grant fouled out in a thrilling win over St. Joe’s in Belk Arena. On one of college basketball’s biggest stages, UNC’s Smith Center, Richards scored 12 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the floor. He finished the season with an impressive 2:1 assist to turnover ratio, which was highlighted by six games in which he had at least five assists. In the SoCon title game, despite taking just one shot, Richards had a career-high seven assists in just 12 minutes of action.

2004-2005 Brought along slowly at the outset of his freshman season, Richards earned the trust of the coaching staff with his strong ball-handling skills. He got his feet wet with considerable time against MaineFarmington, posting five points, five rebounds and five assists. At Princeton, he hit both of his shot attempts in scoring five points and recording two rebounds and an assist in 11 minutes. Perhaps his most significant contribution came when Grant was saddled with foul trouble at

Western Carolina. Richards played a season-high 26 minutes and scored seven points and had six assists. He played in 14 of the last 15 games of the season, playing 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 in the postseason NIT.

high sChool The four-year starter at Barrington broke 12 school records during his prep career at Barrington High, highlighted by 1,779 career points. Richards averaged better than 20 points, four assists and two steals per game in his final year. The comboguard 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 (23), 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 were outstanding basketball players at the Univ. of Pittsburgh.

Explosive, powerful and athletic, Lovedale improved immeasurably during the course of his freshman season as well as in the off-season. He should give Davidson valuable frontcourt depth this winter. Lovedale has the quickness and leaping ability that should enable him to be a highly effective rebounder and shot blocker. Off the court, this young man has a smile and pat on the back for everyone, but once between the painted lines, he’s a fierce competitor who doesn’t concede an inch. Davidson coaches expect Lovedale to help in all areas of frontcourt play this season.

BOB MCKILLOP

HEAD COACH hoFstra ’72 18th yEar 282-213 (.597) DAVIDSOn COllEGE mEn ’ S BASKETBAll

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 18th 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 11 Southern Conference Division championships, and four of the last five, plus last season’s SoCon championship, 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,

There isn’t another major college basketball program in the nation that does a better job than Davidson of placing its graduates on professional basketball teams in Europe. As an example, 25 of the last 33 Davidson basketball graduates have gone on to play professionally in Europe. That includes four of last year’s seven graduates. Brendan Winters, a former Southern Conference Player of the Year, and point guard Kenny Grant signed with the same team in France that former Wildcat Logan Kosmalski is on. Ian Johnson, the second leading scorer on last year’s team, is playing in Spain, while Matt McKillop was on a team in the Czech Republic until knee surgery forced an end to his season. An assistant coach on last year’s staff, and a former Davidson player, Landry Kosmalski, the brother of Logan, is coaching in Sweden. Three other graduates from last year’s Southern Conference championship team chose to pursue other options. There’s no question, for instance, that Jason Morton could have had his choice of a professional basketball team in Europe. He decided instead to begin his business career. Eric Blancett also decided to get on with his work career, and Chris Clunie was a winner of the prestigious Watson Scholarship and is continuing with his academic work. “Coach (Bob) McKillop’s network of contacts in European basketball circles is an extensive as any in this country,” Davidson associate head coach Matt Matheny said. “He lectures to coaches and players in Europe and has been doing it for 25 years. He lectured last summer in Ireland and Italy.” McKillop took his entire coaching staff with him to Sweden in 1994 when the Swedish Basketball Federation had him direct a camp for one of its national teams. The coach’s contacts in Europe not only pay off in finding professional playing positions for his former players, but also help him recruit some outstanding European players for his Davidson teams. “The Davidson environment is one that welcomes and embraces the international student-athletes. Their presence has added significant diversity to our teams,” Coach McKillop said. “The transformation of all of our players from such varying cultural backgrounds into a close-knit group of teammates is a lesson for everyone to recognize. Our Davidson College basketball family has been consistently expanded and enhanced through our international recruiting efforts. Our players, both American and international, frequently secure professional playing opportunities in Europe after graduation and become terrific ambassadors for our program and Davidson College.” Davidson’s extensive contacts with European basketball leaders had its genesis when McKillop was coaching high school basketball, although neither the college nor the coach knew then that they would eventually connect. A young man from Italy, Augusto Binelli, came to the United States and played his high school basketball for Coach McKillop. Binelli was talented enough to eventually be drafted by the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. The first Davidson player that McKillop helped get established as a professional player in Europe was Detlef Musch, a 1993 Davidson graduate. Musch has played for professional teams in Germany and Italy and is currently enjoying his thirteenth season as a professional basketball player. The 2006-07 Davidson team has five players with international roots. They are junior Boris Meno, of Paris, France; sophomore Can Civi, of Istanbul, Turkey; sophomore Max Paulhus Gosselin, of Carignan; Quebec, freshman William Archambault, of St. Hubert, Quebec; and sophomore Andrew Lovedale, of Benin City, Nigeria. One of the striking things about McKillop’s ability to place his former players with European professional teams is that many of the players who sign there weren’t stars at Davidson. Some were substitutes and excellent practice players before gaining playing time late in their college careers, such as Peter Anderer, Terrell Ivory and Fern Tonella.. It’s an indication of the high respect that European coaches have for McKillop and his coaching skills. While this year’s players are busy thinking of how to make Davidson as good as the Wildcats can be, it’s reasonable to think that several of them will sign professional basketball contracts with a European team when their Davidson playing days are over. The basketball people in Europe know that when they get a Davidson graduate who was coached by McKillop, they’ll get a good citizen, an intelligent young man, a player well taught in basketball fundamentals, and a winner. Those reasons, and others, should keep the Davidson-European pipeline open for many years to come.

McKillop has incorporated players on his roster from around the globe but the international pipeline runs both ways. Numerous graduates have also gone on to play professionally overseas.

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 ‘Cats, 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.

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 AllAmericans, 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 Wildcats to six straight 20win 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 ’Cats to their third straight SoCon championship and an NCAA Tournament berth in his first season. Holland never had a losing season and was league 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.

MATT MATHENY

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH davidson ’93 14th yEar DAVIDSOn COllEGE mEn ’ S BASKETBAll

After one of Davidson’s 20 victories in a championship season last year, coach Bob McKillop was analyzing the game on his post-game radio show when he said, “I want to emphasize how much Coach Matheny contributed to our winning tonight. His excellent scouting and the way he communicated the information to our players were invaluable.” A 1993 Davidson graduate and former Wildcat football and basketball

captain, Matheny has been an assistant coach on McKillop’s staff since Aug. 1, 1993. Davidson has won 225 games during their stint together on the bench, averaged 18 wins a season, won three Southern Conference tournament championships and played in three NCAA tournaments. Now the program’s associate head coach, Matheny has been involved in more victories than any assistant coach in Davidson’s history. He’s been by McKillop’s side as the Wildcats have won Southern Conference division championships in seven of the last 11 years, and now are considered the team to beat from year to year. “Coach Matheny is a symbol of what our program tries to represent,” Coach McKillop says. “He’s smart, hard working and team oriented. And, he wears Davidson on his heart.” Matheny loves preparing for games: the scouting of the opponent, drafting a plan for the players, and then relaying that plan to the team in video sessions and on the court. He excels in all those areas. His rapport with the players is so strong that a visitor could hear a pin drop when he imparts scouting information to them in pre-game meetings. Although he now excels in his chosen profession, coaching was not always Matheny’s goal. He grew up in Statesville about 20 miles from the Davidson campus. He was a star student and football, basketball and tennis standout at North Iredell High School. He had intentions of going to Wake Forest or Duke, but those plans changed when Davidson recruited him as a football player. He had never seen the Davidson campus until he visited as a high school senior, liked it, and enrolled as a student-athlete. He was a quarterback and wide

receiver on the football team, a point guard on the basketball team. After graduation in the spring of 1993, Matheny went to Germany to play a summer of American football. McKillop contacted him there and offered him a job as an assistant coach on the Davidson staff. Matheny accepted and joined Steve Shurina and Larry Garloch on McKillop’s staff. The detour in career plans even surprised Matheny. He graduated from Davidson with the full intentions of going to law school. But even though he was recruited to Davidson to play football, and joined the basketball team as a walk-on, basketball was always his first love. If he were going to coach, he knew basketball would be his sport. But even when he joined Davidson’s coaching staff, he thought the job would be a stopover between coaching and law school. “The more I coached, the more I grew to love it,” Matheny says. “A coach can play an influential role in the life of a college athlete.” Matheny’s goal is to become a head coach of his own program. McKillop has prepared him well, allowing Matheny to become immersed in every single area of college coaching. He is the point man for Davidson’s scheduling, works extensively with recruiting, excels at public relations, and is superb as an on-the-court teacher as well as game coach. “Coach McKillop has allowed me to work in all areas,” Matheny says, “and I’ve learned so much from him, in the way he has built a leading program with high integrity.” A highly competitive person, Matheny says losing is tougher on him now than it was earlier in his coaching career, because he has so much invested now. “When we lose, it makes me want to work harder,” he says. “That’s another thing I learned from Coach McKillop.” Matheny and the former Jennifer Collins were married in June 2001. They are parents of Brock, born in April 2004 who is now a popular figure at Davidson’s home games. Jennifer is a licensed Real Estate Broker The Matheny family lives in Davidson.

JIM FOX

suny-geneseo ’95 6th yEar Jim Fox has been an assistant coach on Bob McKillop’s Davidson basketball staff during some of the program’s most successful seasons. Now in his sixth year as a Davidson assistant, Fox has been on the bench as Davidson compiled an 88-52 overall record, 59-20 versus teams in the Southern Conference, won two conference tournament championships, played in two NCAA tournaments and one postseason NIT. “It’s no coincidence that our program has enjoyed consistent success since Jim Fox joined our staff in August 2001,” Coach McKillop says. “Jim has developed into a superb recruiter and coupled with his understanding of the game, he has become a very valuable member of our staff.” Now the second assistant on the Davidson staff, Fox, a native of Levittown, N.Y., spent five years as asso-

a coach,” Fox says, “and I knew working for him and learning from him would be great for my career. Coach lets his assistants get involved in all areas of coaching. The work ethic in the Davidson program runs from the coaches to the players. Everyone is working towards a common goal: to get to the NCAA tournament and be successful in it.” Fox is single and lives in Davidson. His brother, Jeff, is a lawyer, and his sister, Jen, is a nurse. His parents travel to see Davidson play several times each year. Coach Fox loves golf, tennis, politics and rooting for his beloved New York Yankees.

ciate head coach at St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay, N.Y. He served one year as the school’s athletic director, and as the head coach of the freshman team, directed the St. Dominic frosh to an impressive record of 55-1 and four consecutive Catholic High School championships. He also taught government, economics and criminal justice and psychology at the high school. Fox graduated in 1995 from the State University of New York at Geneseo College, earning his degree in political science. Fox father’s retired as a chief U.S. Probation Officer and his mother retired as a school principal at a Catholic elementary school on Long Island. In his off time, Fox’s father ran a youth basketball program on Long Island, and Fox began coaching in the program when he was still in high school. Coaching was in his blood, but so was federal law enforcement. He interned with the U.S. Secret Service between his junior and senior college years, and seriously thought about joining the service as a career. Fox saw how much his father loved basketball and enjoyed the work, which influenced him to give coaching a try, which he did at St. Dominic. He’s glad he did. In addition to coaching at St. Dominic, Fox was also head coach and director of the Long Island Lightning AAU Basketball Club, where one of his players was Matt McKillop, Coach McKillop’s son and a three-year starter at Davidson who graduated last spring. Fox coached more than 20 young men who went on to play college basketball. Fox’s father now runs the Island Garden, where Coach Fox and his brother, Jeff, have their own basketball camp for two weeks each summer - the Fox Offensive Skills Basketball Camp. Fox has had a long acquaintance with Coach McKillop, first meeting him when McKillop was a highly successful coach at Long Island Lutheran High School.

Tim Sweeney enters his first season as an assistant coach with the men’s basketball program. “Tim brings the experience of being a successful player and coach from a terrific school and basketball program like the University of Rochester,” McKillop commented. “He is a superb addition to our staff.” Sweeney, a 2003 graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in political science, spent the past three seasons as an assistant at his alma mater as the Yellowjackets went 66-16 overall and won two University Athletic Association titles. In his first season on the staff, Rochester went 25-2 and advanced to the Division III regional semifinal while the coaching staff earned honors from the UAA the NABC East Region and the New York State Basketball Association as the Coaching Staff of the Year. The following season, the Yellowjackets posted a 25-5 mark and advanced to the Division III championship game. Sweeney’s duties covered anything and everything in the office, including recruiting coordinator as which he helped bring a pair of all-conference performers and four others that played in the regular rotation this past season. He also assisted with practice preparation, in-game strategy and scouting reports, plus oversaw the film exchange and monitored the student-athletes’ academic progress. A four-year starter at Rochester, Sweeney was the team captain as a senior and led the squad to a 24-6 record and the NCAA Division III semifinals in 2002, and a 23-4 mark and the regional semifinals in 2003. He averaged seven points a game over the two seasons and nearly four assists while shooting 38.9 percent from three-point range and over 80 percent from the charity stripe. Sweeney graduated among the top 10 at Rochester all-time in three-point field goals made, assists and free throw percentage.

Sweeney was named All-UAA in each of his four campaigns and earned the Lysle Garnish Award for academic and athletic excellence as a junior. The threetime member of the UAA All-Academic Team was also named to the Dean’s List in seven of his eight semesters. “Davidson represents both top notch athletes along with committed students,” said Sweeney. “It is enjoyable to work with student athletes who work hard and continually strive to improve. I want to contribute in helping Davidson maintain its reputation as a top basketball program that competes year in and year out for conference championships and the NCAA tournament.” Sweeney’s experience is not relegated to the University of Rochester; he has served as a coach at numerous camps along the East Coast, including Davidson, Villanova, Princeton and Hofstra. Sweeney is single and currently resides in Davidson.

2005-06 SEaSon rEviEw stEPPing it uP in soCon Play

Ian Johnson earned a number of conference honors during the 2005-06 season.

The Wildcats may have been the third seed for the SoCon Tournament, but when it came to statistics in the league, Davidson finished at the top of the heap. In conference games only, the ’Cats were first in scoring margin, free throw percentage, field goal percentage, three-pointers per game, rebounding, rebound margin, assists and assist-turnover ratio. They were also second in scoring, three-point field goal percentage and field goal percentage defense, and third in scoring defense.

all-soCon honors

grant among toP 10 nationally

Seniors Ian Johnson and Brendan Winters were both selected for the 10player All-SoCon team as voted on by the league’s coaches. Winters was also voted to the first team by the media, while Johnson was pegged for the second team. In addition, point guard Kenny Grant earned third-team honors from the media. Winters’ selection makes him just the fifth Wildcat to be a three-time all-conference selection, joining Fred Hetzel ’65, Mike Maloy ’70, John Gerdy ’79 and Derek Rucker ’88.

Senior point guard Kenny Grant handed out 24 assists in the SoCon Tournament, boosting him into fourth nationally with 6.6 dimes per game. Only Ali Ton ’99 has ever ranked higher, placing third in the nation as a senior with 7.6 apg. Grant is also third with 437 helpers in his career. And if he can add just five more assists to his current total of 199, he will set a new Davidson single-season record.

Posting 20 Wins

DAVIDSOn COllEGE mEn ’ S BASKETBAll

For the second straight year, Davidson has recorded at least 20 wins thanks to a title run in the Southern Conference Tournament. The last time the Wildcats had backto-back 20 win seasons came when the 1985-86 and 1986-87 squads recorded exactly 20 wins apiece.

EuroPEan triP = PostsEason Bid In the summer of 2005, the Wildcat basketball team traveled in Europe, specifically Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland. Davidson played some stiff competition, including the Italian National Team, and went 4-2 in six games on the continent. This once-infour-years trip has led to a postseason berth after each of the past four trips — the NIT in 1994, and the NCAA Tournament in 1998, 2002 and 2006.

a mid-maJor all-amEriCan again For the second consecutive year, Brendan Winters was named a MidMajor All-American by CollegeInsider.com. The son of former All-NBA performer Brian Winters, Brendan was sixth in the SoCon in scoring at 16.9 points per game, and fourth all-time at Davidson with 1,892 career points.

WintErs namEd naBC all-distriCt The NABC released its all-district teams on Feb. 17, and senior Brendan Winters was selected for the second team out of district five. Of the other nine players, eight were from the ACC, while the ninth averaged a double-double for Charlotte.

FrEE throW FolliEs Davidson was eighth in the nation in free throw percentage as a team at 76.1 percent, just behind Duke. Senior Brendan Winters sank 37 straight foul shots early in the season to break the school record of 36 set 40 years ago by Bobby Lane. In addition, Winters was second in the SoCon with his 84.0 free throw percentage, one of three Wildcats that rank among the top 10 in the league — Jason Morton (.780, seventh) and Ian Johnson (.771, ninth).

stroking it Led by Brendan Winters’ 9-of-12 shooting performance, Davidson shot at a 56.1 percent clip (32-of-57) against UNC Greensboro in a 92-73 victory on Feb. 8. It was the Wildcats’ best shooting percentage of the year and best since the opener last season at Missouri when they hit 60 percent in an 84-81 win.

a “l o n g” rangE strEak The Wildcats have canned at least one three in 369 consecutive games. The last time the ’Cats failed to hit a three-pointer in a game came on Jan. 15, 1994 in a 65-63 win at East Tennessee State. But there are three schools that have hit at least one trey in every game since the inception of the three-point line in 1986-87 — Vanderbilt, UNLV and Princeton.

200 trEys With 9.5 seconds left in the game at Chattanooga on Jan. 23, Matt McKillop kept the Wildcat hopes alive with a three-pointer to cut the deficit to two. Although Davidson did not complete the comeback, McKillop did become just the second Wildcat to convert 200 three-pointers in a career (Brendan Winters had 268). Of McKillop’s 955 career points, 669 came on threes, or 70.0 percent.

In each of the first 16 games, either Brendan Winters or Ian Johnson were one of the Wildcats’ leading scorers. But against Georgia Southern on Jan. 21, senior Eric Blancett came off the bench to rip the nets for a career-high and team-leading 17 points as Davidson cruised to an 83-58 win. He connected on 6-of-7 from the floor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. It marked the sixth time Blancett scored in double figures during his career, and just the second time against a Division I opponent, the other coming in the 2001-02 season at St. Bonaventure. Torn ACLs and other injuries kept him from reaching his potential, but he proved he is capable of being another offensive weapon for the ’Cats.
