VILLANOVA WILDCATS 172-65 (.726). In that span it produced seven consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in program history. The ‘Cats were 78-41 (.655) in BIG EAST regular season action in that span and appeared in seven straight NCAA Tournaments.
to a 29-5 finish. On Feb. 7, Wright recorded his 400th career victory with a win over Seton Hall at the Pavilion. Villanova entered the national rankings on Dec. 2, 2013 and remained there for the rest of the season, peaking at No. 3 during the final week of the regular season.
JAY WRIGHT HEAD COACH
In a program long defined by achievement, Jay Wright has in his 13 seasons as head coach placed his own imprint of success on Villanova Basketball. Under his dynamic stewardship, which includes national and BIG EAST coaching awards, Villanova has re-established its place among the national elite. After earning an at-large berth in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, Villanova has made nine such appearances in the last 10 seasons. The Wildcats earned the BIG EAST regular season championship in 2013-14 while establishing a new program for regular season victories en route
The Wildcats were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for 54 consecutive weeks over a period of three seasons from 2008-2011. Villanova posted a pulsating 78-76 triumph over Pittsburgh in March of 2009 to lift the ‘Cats into the Final Four for the first time since the program captured the 1985 NCAA title under coach Rollie Massimino, for whom Wright served as a VU assistant coach from 1987-92. That victory over the Panthers was Wright’s 300th as a head coach. He is 407-233 (.646) overall in 20 seasons as a head coach, including seven seasons at Hofstra University (1994-2001).
Wright was named the 2013-14 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, the third time he has been so honored since 2006. In addition, he was named Philadelphia Big 5 Coach of the Year. Wright has now coached 435 games since taking over at Villanova in 2001, and the Wildcats have won 286 of them. In that stretch there have been 13 NCAA Tournament victories that have featured four trips to the NCAA Sweet 16, two visits to the NCAA Elite Eight and a berth in the 2009 NCAA Final Four in Detroit. In BIG EAST regular season play, Wright has steered the Wildcats to 139 victories, including a program record 16 in 2013-14. From 20042011, VU posted a record of

tenure. Five Wildcats brought to Villanova by Wright – Randy Foye, Kyle Lowry, Allan Ray, Dante Cunningham and Maalik Wayns – have played in the National Basketball Association. The Wildcats have won outright or shared seven Philadelphia Big Five championships in Wright’s 13 seasons and were also the 2006 BIG EAST regular season champions. The Wildcats’ coach has collected a host of honors for his work, including the 2006 national coach of the year awards from CBS/Chevrolet, NABC, and Naismith. He was also the 2006 and 2009 BIG EAST Coach of the Year. A 1983 Bucknell University graduate, Wright is married to the former Patricia Reilly. The couple has two sons, Taylor (21) and Colin (20) and a daughter Reilly (15).

KYLE NEPTUNE ASSISTANT COACH
ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI Groce directed the Illinois program to a number of achievements during his first year – including a 23-win campaign that marked a six-win improvement from the UI’s previous season – culminating in an NCAA Tournament appearance and subsequent victory to advance to the Round of 32.
JOHN GROCE HEAD COACH
John Groce is in his third season in charge of the Fighting Illini program in 2014-15 after leading Illinois to consecutive 20-win seasons and postseason appearances during his first two years in Champaign. Groce guided one the youngest and most inexperienced teams in the nation last season to 20 wins and a No. 2 seed in the NIT, as the Illini narrowly missed a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Entering the year with nine newcomers and returning just three rotation players, Groce emphasized defense to his young squad and it delivered, finishing the season ranked 11th nationally in defensive efficiency. Illinois won 13 of its first 15 games, highlighted by thrilling wins at UNLV, in the Braggin’ Rights game over No. 23 Missouri and against Indiana in overtime on New Year’s Eve. The Illini then played some of their best basketball late in the season, a staple of Groce’s teams throughout his coaching career. Illinois won four of its last five regular season games, with three of those victories coming on the road at Minnesota, at No. 18 Michigan State and at No. 24 Iowa. The Illini added wins over Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and at Boston U in the first round of the NIT to finish the season with six victories over its final nine contests, with both postseason losses coming by just one point apiece.
Groce was named the 17th Fighting Illini men’s basketball coach on March 29, 2012. He arrived at Illinois after four seasons as head coach at Ohio University, where he led the Bobcats to an 85-56 overall record as well as Mid-American Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2010 and 2012.
Illinois won its first 12 games in 2012-13, equaling the sixth-best start in school history and matching the best start ever for a first-year UI coach. Included in that stretch was a dominating performance in Hawaii as the Illini captured the school’s first-ever EA SPORTS Maui Invitational championship. Illinois also recorded arguably the most impressive win of college basketball’s pre-conference season, winning at No. 10 Gonzaga by double digits.
Ohio was the story of the 2012 Tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed with victories over No. 4 seed Michigan followed by No. 12 seed South Florida. The Bobcats finished just short of the Elite Eight, falling to top-seed North Carolina in overtime in the regional semifinal. It marked just the second time in Ohio’s school history and first since 1964 that the Bobcats won multiple games in the NCAA Tournament. Ohio finished the 2012 season with a school-record 29 wins and was known for its pressure defense, ranking second nationally in turnover percentage and third in steals percentage.
The Illini spent eight weeks ranked in the Top 25, reaching as high as No. 10 in the national polls. Illinois recorded two more top-10 wins during conference play in one of the most difficult seasons in Big Ten history. The Illini defeated No. 8 Ohio State on Jan. 5 by 19 points, the UI’s largest margin of victory over a top-10 opponent since 1964. Then on Feb. 7, Illinois garnered national headlines with a thrilling last-second home victory over No. 1 Indiana. The Illini won it at the buzzer on a layup by Tyler Griffey, leading to a court storming celebration as Illinois defeated a No. 1-ranked opponent for just the third time in school history.
Ohio also made noise in the 2010 postseason. Playing in the school’s first NCAA Tournament game in five seasons, the Bobcats received a No. 14 seed and defeated No. 3 seed Georgetown. With the 2010 and 2012 NCAA performances, Ohio became just the sixth school ever to win Tournament games as both a 13 and 14 seed. The 43-year-old Groce has a total of 21 years in the coaching profession and has been part of teams that have made 18 postseason appearances. His record in 15 years as an assistant was an impressive 349-156, giving him a combined record of 477-240.
The Fighting Illini earned a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament and defeated No. 10 Colorado in the Round of 64 as Groce improved his record in the opening round of the Tournament to 9-0 during his coaching career, and 3-0 as a head coach.
Groce earned his first head-coaching job at Ohio following four seasons on Thad Matta’s staff at Ohio State from 2005-08, the first two as assistant coach and last two as associate head coach. During Groce’s time in Columbus the Buckeyes amassed a record of 105-35, advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 2007 and
In addition to the success on the court, Groce also made an immediate impact on the recruiting trail, signing a top-25 ranked class in less than eight months on the job in Champaign. –6–
second round in 2006, claimed back-to-back outright Big Ten Championships in 2006 and 2007 and won the NIT in 2008. Groce played a key role in recruiting many of the top players at Ohio State and was named Rivals.com’s 2006 National Recruiter of the Year. In all, Groce spent eight years as an assistant under Matta. Prior to his time at Ohio State, Groce served three years on Matta’s staff at Xavier from 2002-04 and one season at Butler in 2001. The Musketeers went 78-23 and made three straight NCAA appearances, advancing to the second round in 2002 and 2003 and the Elite Eight in 2004. Xavier also won consecutive Atlantic 10 titles in 2002 and 2003. Butler, meanwhile, went 24-8 and won a conference crown in 2001 while also advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Groce entered the Division I coaching ranks as a member of Herb Sendek’s staff at North Carolina State from 1997-2000. The Wolfpack went 73-58 overall and advanced to the NIT in each of the four seasons Groce was in Raleigh, including a trip to the semifinals in 2000. Groce got his start in coaching as an assistant at his alma mater, Taylor University, an NAIA school in Upland, Indiana. Groce spent three years on Paul Patterson’s staff from 1994-96, helping lead the Trojans to a 69-32 record and pair of trips to the NAIA national tournament. Groce played for Patterson for three years from 1991-93 before making the transition to a student assistant role as a senior. Taylor compiled a 90-16 record and made three trips to the NAIA Tournament during Groce’s playing career, including a 1991 NAIA Final Four appearance during his freshman season. Groce earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Taylor in 1994. John and his wife, Allison, have two sons, Conner and Camden.

CHUCK MARTIN ASSISTANT COACH
LOUISVILLE CARDINALS over the last three years and UofL is the only school in the nation with 30 wins in each of the last three years.
RICK PITINO HEAD COACH
Rick Pitino, one of the most brilliant minds in coaching, began a new era in University of Louisville men’s basketball when he was named head coach of the Cardinals on March 21, 2001. The first coach in NCAA history to win a national championship at two different schools, Pitino’s up-tempo style, pressure defense, strong work ethic and family atmosphere have restored the Cardinals to national prominence where it is firmly seated. In 29 seasons as a collegiate head coach at five different schools, Pitino has compiled a 695-245 record, a .739 winning percentage that ranks him 11th among active coaches. He has a 341-117 record in 13 seasons at UofL, the third winningest coach in Cardinal history. UofL is among the nations’ top 15 programs in winning percentage over the last decade under his guidance. His current contract ties him with UofL through the 2021-2022 season. The first coach in NCAA history to take three different teams to the NCAA Final Four, Pitino was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, lofty recognition for a lifetime of impressive basketball achievement. The Cardinals enter the season with a nation-leading 96 victories
Pitino guided the Cardinals to the 2013 NCAA Championship after claiming the nation’s top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and winning the BIG EAST Conference regular season co-championship and tournament titles. The Cardinals won a school-record 35 games while claiming their first NCAA title in 27 years. UofL reached its second straight and 10th Final Four, marking Pitino’s seventh, a total reached by only five coaches all-time. A 2006 inductee to the New York City Hall of Fame, Pitino has the second-highest winning percentage in NCAA Tournament games among active coaches, winning 75 percent of his games in the post-season event with a 50-17 record in 19 tournament appearances. Pitino is one of only two coaches (along with North Carolina’s Roy Williams) in NCAA history to have led two different schools to at least three Final Fours each. He is one of only four coaches (also Jim Boeheim, Mike Krzyzewski and Dean Smith) ever to guide a school to the Final Four in four separate decades. Pitino is one of a select group of eight coaches who have taken teams from four different schools to the NCAA Tournament. He is one of five coaches all-time who have reached the Final Four on at least seven occasions. For three and a half years, Pitino served as president and head coach of the NBA’s Boston Celtics. With the Celtics, he took over a team that had posted a franchise worst 15-67 record before his arrival. He quickly made an impact, improving the Celtics’ victory total by 21 games in his first season. He guided Kentucky to three NCAA Final Four appearances in his last five years at Kentucky, winning
the 1996 NCAA Championship and reaching the national title game in 1997. In eight seasons with the Wildcats, he amassed a 219-50 record (.814) while winning two league crowns and an impressive 17-1 record in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Pitino, 62, got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Hawai’i in 1974 and served as a full-time assistant there in 1975-76 when he was the head coach for the last six games of the season (2-4) when the head coach was relieved of his duties. He served two seasons as an assistant at Syracuse under Jim Boeheim from 1976-78. Pitino was only 25 years old when he accepted his first head coaching job at Boston University in 1978. He produced a 91-51 record in five years there, departing as the most successful coach in BU history. In his final season there, he guided the Terriers to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 24 years. Pitino left Boston U. to become an assistant coach for the New York Knicks from 1983-85, where he worked with head coach Hubie Brown. He was head coach at Providence College for two seasons (1985-87), producing a 42-23 record there. He guided the Friars to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1986 and an improbable trip to the NCAA Final Four in 1987. Before his stint at Kentucky, Pitino served as head coach of the New York Knicks for two seasons. In his initial year there in 1987-88, the Knicks improved by 14 victories and made the NBA Playoffs for the first time in four seasons. The Knicks won 52 games in 1988-89 and swept the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Aside from his hoops prowess, Pitino has achieved success off the court as well in such realms as broadcasting, publishing, motivational speaking and horse racing. He – 14 –
is an accomplished author, producing such books as the best sellers “Success Is A Choice” and “Lead to Succeed,” as well as his latest offering “The One-Day Contract.” He earned his degree in 1974 at Massachusetts, where he was a standout guard for the Minutemen’s basketball team. His 329 career assists rank eighth all-time at UMass and his 168 assists as a senior is the sixth-best single season total ever there. Pitino was a freshman during NBA legend Julius Erving’s senior year. Born Sept. 18, 1952, Pitino is a native of New York City where he was a standout guard for Dominic High School in Oyster Bay, Long Island. There, he captained his team and established several school scoring marks. Pitino and his wife Joanne have five children — Michael, Christopher, Richard, Ryan and Jacqueline — and six grandchildren — Anna, Audrey, Alex (Michael and wife Bethany’s children), Andrew, James (Christopher and wife Brucie’s children), and Ava (Richard and wife Jill’s child).
