Takayo Siddle MEN’S HEAD COACH

Takayo Siddle, a key lieutenant for Kevin Keatts during UNCW’s resurgence in men’s basketball earlier this decade, returned to the Port City as the new head coach of the Seahawk program on March 13, 2020.

8

www.uncwsports.com

Siddle, 33, is making his fifth coaching stop and first as a head coach. He previously served as an assistant coach at Hargrave Military Academy, Gardner-Webb, UNCW and NC State. Siddle becomes the 13th head coach in UNCW history.

Siddle moved on to NC State and the success followed. The Wolfpack averaged more than 80 points per game in Siddle’s first two seasons with the Pack. Prior to that, the last NC State team to average more than 80 points in a season was the 1995-96 team.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Takayo back to UNCW and the Wilmington community,” said Jimmy Bass, UNCW’s tenth-year athletic director. “He’s been successful everywhere he’s been and we’re confident he will get our program back to the level our student-athletes, alumni, fans and community are accustomed to. He already has two CAA championship rings, so there’s plenty of room for more.”

Since Siddle’s arrival, the Wolfpack has featured one of the best offensive attacks in the ACC. NC State ranked in the top 40 in the NCAA in tempo by KenPom.com in the first two seasons.

Siddle played for and coached with Keatts and served as interim head coach for the Seahawks in March of 2017 before joining his longtime mentor on the NC State bench in Raleigh. Siddle is a tireless recruiter and was tabbed the No. 4 recruiter in the country earlier this year.

“I’m honored to be named as the head coach of this proud program,” said Siddle, who will be formally welcomed during an introductory press conference at a later date. “This is - and has always been - a dream job for me. I can’t begin to tell everyone how excited I am.”

During his three-year stay at UNCW from 2014-17, Siddle helped the Seahawks return to prominence in the CAA, winning three regular season championships and two CAA Tournament crowns (2016, 2017).

The Seahawks went 72-28 overall in Siddle’s three years and advanced to the postseason all three campaigns, including the CIT (2015), NCAA (2016) and NCAA (2017). He recruited five All-CAA selections as the Seahawks went 48-14 in the circuit.

www.uncwsports.com

Siddle launched his coaching career in 2009-10 as a member of Keatts’ staff at Hargrave, beginning a long, successful relationship with his mentor. The Tigers featured 12 NCAA Division I signees, including five in the ACC, SEC, Big East and Big Ten Conferences.

Siddle then spent four years at GardnerWebb. He was hired as an assistant coach at GWU by former head coach and current Ohio State skipper Chris Holtmann, who served as an assistant coach during Siddle’s freshman, sophomore and junior years in Boiling Springs.

Siddle followed Keatts to the North Carolina coast in the summer of 2014 and helped the Seahawks compile a 72-28 record with three postseason berths in three seasons from 2015-17. The Seahawks captured the 2015 and 2016 CAA titles and advanced to play in the NCAA Tournament in Providence (vs. Duke) and Orlando (vs. Virginia).

COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

JOSEPH D’ANTONIO CAA Commissioner The conference has produced 18 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 14 national players of the year, 14 national coaches of the year and 13 Honda Award winners.

Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 25 NCAA postgraduate scholars.

In 2019-20, more than 2,600 of the league’s student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.0 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport.

The conference had 42 teams in 17 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2020.

JIMMY BASS Director of Athletics

Experienced administrator and leader Jimmy Bass completes a decade of excellence as the leader of the UNCW athletics department in 2020-21. He is the second longest-tenured athletic director in the history of the program behind founder William J. Brooks.

Bass took over the helm of the program in October 2010 and has helped the Seahawks achieve success in the playing arena and in the classroom during his time in the Port City.

The native North Carolinian introduced a comprehensive strategic plan during his inaugural year and unveiled another five-year plan in July 2018. Under Bass’ energetic leadership, the Seahawks have captured 26 Colonial Athletic Association championships during his tenure – so far.

With a recognized expertise in marketing and fundraising, the North Carolina native immediately restructured the department’s fundraising arm and orchestrated a $2 million renovation to venerable Trask Coliseum.

Bass came to UNCW after spending three years as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Operations at East Carolina. He had held previous positions at Mississippi State, N.C. State, Pittsburgh, UNCW and Davidson.

During Chancellor Sartarelli’s tenure, the university has implemented its 2016-2021 Strategic Plan; has set records for annual enrollment, graduation and philanthropic giving; increased community, military and international partnerships; enhanced online educational offerings; and added several new academic programs. The university also secured its highest gift in university history and supported the launch of the first satellite sent into space by a UNC System institution. Chancellor Sartarelli guided the university through challenges in the aftermath of Hurricanes Florence and Dorian, and oversaw $400 million in planned and storm-related campus improvements. Recently completed projects include renovations to Dobo Hall, construction of Veterans Hall, new student housing, and other academic and administrative support facilities. Under his leadership, UNCW rose to meet challenges posed by COVID-19 and continued to grow, with nearly 18,000 students enrolled in fall 2020.

A native of Brazil, Chancellor Sartarelli received a bachelor of business administration in marketing from the São Paulo School of Business Administration (Fundação Getulio Vargas) in São Paulo, Brazil. He then attended Michigan State University as a Fulbright Scholar, earning an MBA in marketing and a doctorate in business administration.

The Chancellor, who took office July 1, 2015, previously served at West Virginia University, where he was the Milan Puskar Dean of the College of Business and Economics and the university’s chief global officer. Before transitioning into higher education, Chancellor Sartarelli spent three decades in international marketing and management.
