Head Coach Andrew Toole Second Season - Penn ’03 When it came time for Robert Morris University Director of Athletics Craig Coleman, M.D., to name a new head coach for the men’s basketball program, he didn’t have to look far. Andrew Toole was introduced as the eighth head coach in the 35-year Division I history at a press conference at the Charles L. Sewall Center May 11, 2010, and the 2011-12 campaign marks his second season as head coach of the Colonials. He owns an overall record of 25-17 (.595). Anyone familiar with the success RMU has had in recent seasons should be familiar with Toole. Named as former head coach Mike Rice’s top assistant in 2007-08, Toole spent the 2008-09 and 200910 seasons as Associate Head Coach at Robert Morris. In his first season at the helm in 2010-11, Toole continued RMU’s recent run of success, leading the Colonials to an overall record of 18-14 (.563), including a mark of the 12-6 (.667) in the Northeast Conference. Robert Morris advanced to its third straight NEC Tournament championship game, falling shy of earning its third consecutive title before falling in overtime to Long Island, 85-82. Despite a roster that features just one senior for the second straight year, Toole will lead a program in 2011-12 that is looking for its third NEC Tournament championship in four years, a feat that has been accomplished only once in league history. The Colonials won the 1989, 1990 and 1992 NEC Tournament crowns. “Our players are not old, but they should have an understanding of what it takes to win,” Toole said. “Let’s take the last 10 or 12 games of last year and now mesh the new guys in and keep going in the right direction.” Toole is at the helm of an RMU program that has experienced unprecedented success over the last five years. The Colonials own NEC records for victories over the span of two, three, four and five years. Since the beginning of the 2006-07 season, Robert Morris owns an overall record of 108-56 (.659), with the 108 victories both a school and NEC record for a five-year span. Since Toole joined the staff in 2007-08, the Colonials have posted an overall record of 91-45 (.669). While RMU’s overall success is apparent, the program’s accomplishments in the NEC are also clear. Over the last four years, the Colonials have posted a mark of 58-14 (.806) against league opposition and enter the 2011-12 season having finished no lower than third over that span. Robert Morris won outright NEC regular-season titles in 2008 and 2009 and shared the championship in 2010 with Quinnipiac with Toole as a member of the staff. RMU followed up its success in the regular season by becoming the first team in NEC history in 16 years to win back-to-back NEC Tournament championships by earning a 52-50 win over Quinnipiac in the 2010 NEC Tournament championship game in Hamden, Conn. In 2008, the Colonials made their first appearance in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), dropping an 87-81 decision to No. 1 overall seed Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. In both 2009 and 2010, RMU earned automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament thanks to winning their sixth and seventh NEC Tournament championships, respectively. In the 2009 NCAA Tournament as a No. 15 seed, the Colonials fell to eventual national runner-up Michigan State, 77-62, in the first round at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn. In the 2010 NCAA Tournament, Robert Morris nearly upset No. 2 seed Villanova in the first round at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., before falling, 73-70, in overtime. At 31 years old, Toole is the youngest head coach at the Division I level. Prior to coming to Robert Morris in 2007, Toole spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. While an assistant with the Leopards, Toole assisted in all facets of the program, from recruiting to player development. He was responsible for helping recruit student-athletes that helped lead Lafayette to the 2010 Patriot League Tournament championship game against Lehigh. Between 2004 and 2006, Toole spent two years with The Hoop Group in Neptune, N.J. He served as the director of the Eastern Invitational Basketball Clinic, where he handled logistical management for the nation's largest high school exposure camp. Toole was a four-year starter at the Division I level, playing for Elon University (1998-2000) before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania (2000-03). Over his four-year career at Elon and Penn, Toole averaged 12.3 points per contest, finishing with 1,341 points in 109 games. He also posted averages of 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals per contest. Toole, who married the former Brooke Kelly June 3, 2011, resides in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon, Pa.

What They’re Saying About Andrew Toole Mike Rice, Head Coach, Rutgers University “Coach Toole has had as much to do with the success of the RMU program the last three years as anyone. His tireless commitment to improve the program, whether it was recruiting, player development or game day preparation, was unmatched by any other assistant. Robert Morris basketball is in great hands.” Fran O’Hanlon, Head Coach, Lafayette College “Andrew is a smart, dedicated and excellent leader who possesses a tremendous amount of passion for the game. Above all, he is a man of strong character. He possesses all the necessary qualities to be a successful college head coach, and I am very happy for the Robert Morris community to have a person of Andrew’s caliber lead its men’s basketball program.” Fran Dunphy, Head Coach, Temple University “I certainly want to congratulate Robert Morris University and Andrew Toole as they embark on a new era of Colonial basketball. I’ve known Andy as a player and now a coach and his leadership skills are unquestioned. He has great knowledge of the game and has shown great skill in imparting that knowledge to his players.”

Over the last five years, the Colonials have held nine opponents to 45 points or less.

The defensive pressure that Robert Morris has employed over the last five seasons has allowed the program to post each of its top three totals for largest margin of victory against a Northeast Conference opponent in school history. The Colonials earned a 91-38 victory over Bryant (2/3/11) at the Charles L. Sewall Center to not only establish a new school record in an NEC game but also tie the league mark. The record was originally set when Wagner defeated Sacred Heart, 116-63, on February 22, 2000. In fact, only four games in league annals have been decided by 50 or more points, and RMU owns two of them. Robert Morris posted a 95-45 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson (2/7/08) at the Sewall Center, while Long Island defeated Wagner, 127-77, February 11, 1998, in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Preseason Poll Notes: It marks the sixth straight year the Colonials have been picked to finish in the top three in the league ... Robert Morris was tabbed second in 2006, 2007 and 2010 and third in 2008 and 2009 ... Conducted annually, NEC coaches have failed to correctly forecast the eventual league champion since selecting Mount St. Mary’s to win it all in 1998-99, and have proven inaccurate in 22 of the last 24 years ... RMU has never been the preseason favorite to win an NEC title

Scouting the Ragin’ Cajuns - Louisiana-Lafayette carries an overall record of 5-7 (.417) into its tilt with Robert Morris Saturday and is coming off a 66-54 setback @ Ole Miss (12/14/11). The Ragin’ Cajuns were led by senior forward Darshawn McClellan and sophomore guard Bryant Mbamalu against the Rebels, as each finished with 12 points. McClellan added nine rebounds and a pair of assists. The leading scorer for Louisiana so far this season has been junior forward Kadeem Coleby, who produces 10.9 points per game while shooting 57 percent (49-for-86) from the field. Sophomore forward J.J. Thomas adds 10.1 points per game but has missed the last five games, while McClellan scores at a 10.0 points per contest clip while grabbing a team-high 5.9 rebounds per game. Louisiana-Lafayette Head Coach - In his second season as head coach of the Ragin’ Cajuns and 19th season overall is Bob Marlin (Mississippi State ’81). Marlin owns a record of 19-22 (.463) with Louisiana and an overall mark of 367-188 (.661). The 2010 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award winner, Marlin spent 12 seasons as head coach of Sam Houston State from 1998 to 2010 before taking the reigns at Louisiana, producing a record of 225-131 (.632). RMU’s Last Game - Robert Morris had its three-game winning streak snapped, Dec. 8, with a 62-58 setback to Cleveland State at the Charles L. Sewall Center. Cleveland State took its biggest lead of the contest, 53-37, at the 9:43 mark of the second half after Jeremy Montgomery hit a three-pointer, but the Vikings wouldn’t convert a field goal the rest of the game. Over the final 9:11 the Vikings shot 0-for-8 from the field and suffered five turnovers but were able to seal the victory by converting nine of their 10 opportunities at the charity stripe. RMU used a 19-4 run to trim its deficit to one, 57-56, with just 56 seconds to go after sophomore guard Anthony Myers fed junior forward Lijah Thompson for a dunk. The Colonials got back in the game thanks to the shooting of redshirt sophomore guard Coron Williams, who scored nine points during the surge, while redshirt junior guard Velton Jones and Thompson each scored four points. Tim Kamczyc, held scoreless the first 39 and-a-half minutes of the game, hit one of his two attempts at the chalk with 34 seconds remaining to help Cleveland State take a 58-56 lead. On the ensuing possession, Jones' jumper was off the mark, and Kamczyc came down the rebound before being fouled. He converted both free throws with 18 seconds to play to give the Vikings a 60-56 edge. Jones would score with 4.8 seconds left to pull Robert Morris within two again, 60-58, but Kamczyc sealed the win with another pair at the chalk. The Colonials led the majority of the first half, taking their biggest advantage at the 10:13 mark when freshman forward Lucky Jones hit the back end of a pair of free throws to give RMU a 14-7 lead. Cleveland State responded with a 6-0 spurt to close within 14-13, but a pair of three-pointers by Velton Jones kept RMU in front, 20-15, with 4:47 remaining before the break. The Vikings closed the half on 12-4 run to take a 27-24 lead into intermission as Trevon Harmon scored the final 10 points of the half for Cleveland State. Harmon kept up his hot shooting in the opening seconds of the second half, hitting a three-pointer to give the Vikings a 30-24 edge. Williams and Velton Jones tied for team-high honors for Robert Morris in scoring with 18 points each. Leading Scorers: Williams (18), Jones, V. (18), Thompson (8), Johnson (6) Leading Rebounders: Johnson (4), Thompson (4), Jones, V. (3), Jones, L. (3) Assists: Jones, V. (3), Myers (3), Herman (2), Johnson (1), Williams (1)

Streaker - Redshirt junior guard Velton Jones enters Saturday’s game against LouisianaLafayette having reached double figures in scoring in each of his last 16 games dating back to last season, the longest active streak by a Colonial. Over that span Jones is averaging 16.7 points per contest. The streak is tied for the fourth longest in school history with former Colonials Myron Walker (1990-94) and Chaz McCrommon (2000-05).

Four Score and ... In a 64-60 victory @ Duquesne (12/6/11), Robert Morris had four players reach double figures in scoring as junior forward Lijah Thompson paced the Colonials with 17 points. Joining Thompson was redshirt junior forward Russell Johnson (15), redshirt junior guard Velton Jones (13) and sophomore guard Anthony Myers (10). In six of RMU’s 10 games so far this season, four Colonials have scored in double figures, with Robert Morris owning a record of 4-2 (.667) in those contests. In the two seasons Andrew Toole has been the head coach at Robert Morris, the Colonials are 10-5 (.667) when at least four players score in double figures in a game. The Daytona 500 - Redshirt junior forward Russell Johnson has been RMU’s most consistent rebounder over the last three years, and he continues to produce on the glass in 2011-12. Through the first 10 games of the year, Johnson has grabbed a team-high 58 boards, an average of 5.8 per game. The program’s active leading rebounder with 446 career caroms, Johnson is looking to become the 16th player in school history to join the 500-rebound club and the first since former Colonial Jeremy Chappell (2005-09) turned the trick during the 2008-09 campaign. Based on his current rebounding average, Johnson is on pace to become the 21st player in school history to accumulate 500 career rebounds Thursday, Jan. 19, @ Fairleigh Dickinson. 30-for-30 - Robert Morris has made a point to attack the basket in the early portion of the 2011-12 campaign, and the results are encouraging. In a 69-51 victory over Monmouth (12/3/11), the Colonials visited the charity stripe 31 times, converting 22 (71 percent). RMU has now won 33 consecutive games when visiting the charity stripe at least 30 times in a game. The last loss for the Robert Morris came in the 2002 Northeast Conference Tournament, when the Colonials suffered an 85-76 loss to UMBC (3/1/02) despite going 24-for-31 (77.4 percent) at the chalk. Through its first 10 games of the 2011-12 campaign, RMU is averaging 25.2 free-throw attempts per contest. The Race Heats Up - Thanks to a career-high 38 points in an 82-77 victory @ James Madison (11/22/11), redshirt junior guard Velton Jones has a chance to become the first player at Robert Morris to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau since former Colonial guard Jeremy Chappell (2005-09) turned the trick during the 2007-08 campaign. Jones enters Saturday’s game against Louisiana-Lafayette as the program’s active leading scorer with 835 career points and based on his current points per game average (16.7) is on pace to become the 20th player in school history to reach 1,000 points Saturday, Jan. 14, at home against Sacred Heart. Board Games - A big key to the success that Robert Morris has had over the last four seasons has been due in large part to the program’s ability to crash the boards. Since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign, Robert Morris owns a record of 74-12 (.860) when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 70-10 (.875) mark when outrebounding their opponent. In Andrew Toole’s two seasons as head coach, RMU has posted a record of 18-6 (.750) when outrebounding its opponent, including a mark of 4-2 (.667) in 2011-12.

Thomas shot 49 percent (49-for-100) from deep in 2003-04 against league foes, while Coleman converted 45.5 percent (51-of-112) of his shots in 2005-06. In 2008-09, Langhurst paced the circuit at 48.1 percent (38-for-79).
2010-11 RMU Basketball
Luck of the Draw - Freshman forward Lucky Jones has been a consistent presence on the glass for Robert Morrs in the early portion of the 2011-12 campaign, as he enters Saturday’s game against Lousiana-Lafayette ranked second for RMU in rebounding with an average of 5.4 per contest. Jones was named the Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week (12/5/11) after averaging 12.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in victories over Fairleigh Dickinson (12/1/11) and Monmouth (12/3/11) at the Charles L. Sewall Center. Jones produced a season-high 15 points to pace the Colonials in the win over the Hawks and owns a career high of 13 rebounds, which he set in RMU’s season-opening victory over Rider (11/11/11) at the Sewall Center. The Rock - Guard Velton Jones has been a rock for Robert Morris over the last three seasons, as the redshirt junior enters Saturday’s game against Louisiana-Lafayette owning the longest active streak for both games played and games started. Jones has played in 77 straight games for RMU dating back to the 2009-10 campaign and has earned 62 straight starts. Jones owns 72 career starts overall, far and away the highest mark for a Colonial. Redshirt junior forward Russell Johnson ranks second for Robert Morris in career starts with 37. Jones and Johnson have each appeared in 77 consecutive games for RMU, the longest active streak, while junior forward Lijah Thompson is next, having appeared in 54 consecutive games. Defense Wins Championships - At the heart of the resurgence of the RMU basketball program over the last five seasons has been defense. Even with second-year head coach Andrew Toole on the sidelines, RMU’s attention to detail on defense hasn’t changed. Despite a 62-58 setback at home to Cleveland State (12/8/11), Robert Morris still owns a record of 72-14 (.837) since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign when holding its opponent to 70 points, including a mark of 21-8 ( .724) under Toole. Streak Snapped - One of the longest streaks in school history at Robert Morris was snapped in a 51-44 win over La Salle (11/25/11) as part of the 2011 Philly Hoop Group Classic. The Colonials finished 0-for-6 from beyond the arc against the Explorers, snapping a streak of 532 consecutive games in which RMU hit at least one three-pointer in a game. Coincidentally, RMU also finished 0-for-6 from downtown the last time it failed to hit a three-pointer but also won, posting an 84-66 victory over Long Island (2/20/93) at the Charles L. Sewall Center. Steal City - The defensive pressure Robert Morris has turned up in its 7-3 start to the 2011-12 campaign shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Colonials have forced 161 turnovers in their first nine games, recording 82 steals. In a 66-54 win over Fairleigh Dickinson (12/1/11) in its 2011-12 Northeast Conference opener, RMU recorded 12 thefts, including a career-high four steals from freshman forward Lucky Jones. So far this season the Colonials are averaging 8.20 steals per contest, which ranks second in the Northeast Conference. In two seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, RMU owns a record 8-4 (.667) when finishing with at least 10 steals in a game. In The Clutch - Redshirt junior guard Velton Jones came through with one of the biggest shots of his career in a 64-62 victory @ No. 2 seed Quinnipiac (3/6/11) in the semifinals of the 2011 NEC Tournament, hitting a jumper with 4.3 seconds to play to give the Colonials the victory. Jones, who finished with 13 points, eight assists and three steals in the win over the Bobcats, added his name to a pantheon of greats at RMU that has sank a game-winning shot in final 15 seconds of a game.

Robert Morris celebrated its 25th season of playing its home games at the Charles L. Sewall Center in 2009-10. The facility was dedicated in 1985 and named for the man who served Robert Morris as president from 1967 until 1989. The Sewall Center has been the site where the Northeast Conference Tournament champion has been crowned in men’s basketball a total of five times in the last 26 years, with the Colonials winning four of those titles. RMU won the NEC Tournament on its home court in 1989, 1990, 1992 and 2009, while in 1986 No. 2 seed Marist won the championship with a 57-56 win over No. 1 seed Fairleigh Dickinson. The 2009 NEC Tournament men's basketball championship game held at the Sewall Center featured the first sell-out crowd in school history, with 3,227 fans packed into the arena to watch Robert Morris post a 48-46 win over Mount St. Mary’s that was televised nationally on ESPN2. Former forward Dallas Green (2006-10) hit the game-winning shot with 2.2 seconds to play to help lift the Colonials to their sixth NEC Tournament title. In addition, the Robert Morris women’s basketball team claimed back-to-back NEC Tournament championships at the Sewall Center in 2007 and 2008.

The Need for Three Over the course of the last decade, converting the three-point shot and Robert Morris have become synonymous. Despite having its string of consecutive seasons with at least 200 three-pointers snapped at six by finishing with 197 in 2009-10, the Colonials are still tops in the Northeast Conference over the last 10 years in three-point field goals made per game. Since the start of the 2001-02 season, the Colonials have averaged 7.09 three-pointers per contest, ahead of St. Francis (N.Y.), which has averaged 7.01 three-pointers a game. In 201011, guard Karon Abraham paced Robert Morris by draining 59 three-pointers, while redshirt freshman guard Coron Williams finished with 48. As a club, the Colonials finished fourth in the NEC in 2010-11 with an average of 6.72 per game. A breakdown of the NEC’s top five teams in three-pointers made since the 2001-02 campaign ... Team 1.
