The New Ivy? Davidson College was recently named one of 25 “New Ivies” by Newsweek magazine, along with New York University, the University of North Carolina, Vanderbilt, the University of Virginia and UCLA. The magazine selected the schools based on admissions statistics as well as interviews with administrators, faculty, students and alumni.

Academic Excellence

Affordability

Davidson students explore the liberal arts curriculum in depth and enjoy close faculty collaboration. With 1,800 students, the college is large enough for a diverse intellectual engagement, but small enough to foster individual experience. Davidson offers over 850 courses and supports 21 majors and 12 academic concentrations. Students may participate in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry or dual-degree engineering programs or may design their own independent study classes or interdisciplinary majors. Students may also apply for funds to support research and travel, and many opportunities exist for summer research positions with Davidson faculty. Personal relationships with professors and classes limited to 20 students allow for the development of creative, collaborative relationships resulting in a unique academic experience.

Davidson is a national leader on affordability initiatives, with needblind admission and meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need with a combination of grants and student employment. In a ground-breaking initiative known as the Davidson Trust, Davidson was the first liberal arts college to eliminate the loan component in financial aid packages. Davidson believes that its educational offerings should be affordable for every admitted student, regardless of a family’s financial means. Thanks to Davidson’s commitment to need-blind admission, a student’s character, accomplishments and academic potential are the only factors in the decision—not ability to pay.

In August, the Davidson Wildcats made their fifth trip to Europe during the Bob McKillop era. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cats visited Treviso, Venice, Bormio and Livigno in Italy, and Ljubljana and Piran in Slovenia. In that time, the team found time to sightsee, eat great food, take beautiful pictures and play against six professional teams. Below are the results and statistics from the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six-game foreign tour.

TEAm ROOm

The Baker Sports Complex is the centerpiece of the Wildcats’ athletics facilities and the heart of Davidson basketball. In addition to the 5,223seat John M. Belk Arena, the complex includes the Carl and Louise Knobloch Tennis Center, Cannon Natatorium, 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. It also houses the athletic department offices. Named in honor of the late 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, Belk Arena is the home of men’s basketball program at Davidson College. Ten NCAA Tournament banners, numerous Southern Conference championship pennants, five NIT flags and retired jerseys with the names Hetzel, Snyder, Gerdy, Cobb and Rucker hang from the rafters that reflect Davidson’s proud basketball history. The Wildcats have enjoyed tremendous success in Belk Arena, posting a winning record on their home court for the past 18 seasons — including a perfect 13-0 slate in 2003-04 and 12-0 in 2007-08. As the Wildcats have hosted some of the nation’s top teams, including opponents from the ACC, SEC, Big East, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA, Belk Arena has become a sanctuary for the ‘Cats.

Davidson staffs six fully-licensed athletic trainers. Ray Beltz works directly with the men’s basketball program, which also relies on team doctors, Dr. Don D'Alessandro and Dr. Karl 'Skip' Barkley.

HEAD STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH CRAIG SWIETON

The Wildcats’ head strength and conditioning coach, Craig Swieton, carries out the goal of Davidson’s strength and conditioning program — to increase the strength, power, speed, conditioning levels and flexibility of all student-athletes, helping reduce the risk of injury. Each team’s program, specifically designed by Swieton, aims to improve the sport energy utilization system and to increase the strength and power to the primary muscle groups used in that specific sport. In the fall of 2005, Davidson opened the Ernie Doe Weight Room, a state-of-the-art 5,000-square-foot facility dedicated to the needs of the college’s 21 varsity athletic teams. The weight room includes 16 power racks and eight lifting platforms, as well as other cutting-edge lifting and conditioning equipment to train the whole body. Prior to his arrival at Davidson, Swieton served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Central Michigan, where he was a graduate assistant as well from 2003-05. During his career, he also helped coordinate the strength and conditioning program at Duquesne. Swieton started his career as an intern at Syracuse in the summer of 2003 working with the football team. The Frankfort, N.Y., native earned a bachelor’s degree in applied exercise science from Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., in 2003. He was a member of both the football and track and field teams. Swieton is a member of both the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). Additionally, he is a level one certified club coach through USA Weightlifting. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport administration. 19

GOOD SHOOTERS, RUNNING BIG MEN, TEAM DEFENSE COULD CARRY ‘CATS Now in his 21st season as Davidson’s head basketball coach, Bob McKillop knows something about reloading. It ought to come in handy when you consider what he’s facing this season. Davidson has sustained significant personnel losses from its last two teams, which won a cumulative 56 games. The list of players no longer available reads like a Who’s Who of Davidson Basketball. The Wildcats lost graduates Jason Richards, Thomas Sander and Boris Meno from the 2008 team that reached the glory land of the NCAA Elite Eight. Davidson somehow managed to overcome those losses to post 27 wins last season, but the personnel losses from last season might be even more severe. Gone are Stephen Curry, the leading scorer and assist man; Andrew Lovedale, the second-leading scorer and top rebounder; and Max Paulhus Gosselin, whose defensive prowess earned him honors as the Southern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. It’s a lot to overcome as McKillop’s Wildcats wade into the 2009-10 season. Curry left one year of college basketball eligibility behind to join the NBA draft, where he was the seventh player chosen overall. His college career had so much sparkle and produced such excitement that historians will

surely include his name on a short list when attempting to name the greatest Davidson basketball player of all time. Curry now belongs in that conversation along with Fred Hetzel, Dick Snyder and the late Mike Maloy. It’s hard to overstate Curry’s importance to Davidson’s success. Each opponent stacked its defense hoping to at least slow him down, and in the process, usually gave his primary defender plenty of help. His mere presence on the court provided his teammates with many more open shot opportunities. The missing trio of Curry, Lovedale and Paulhus Gosselin scored 45.6 of the 77.8 points a game that Davidson averaged a year ago. They recovered 17.1 of Davidson’s 38.8 rebounds a game. They took more than half the team’s shots from the field and made 60 percent of Davidson’s field goals. Reload, did we say? Sounds more like a major overhaul. McKillop is not asking for pity and wouldn’t get any if he did. Not after his last three Davidson teams compiled an overall record of 85-20 and ran roughshod through the Southern Conference in compiling an astounding 62-4 record against league foes. McKillop likes challenges, always has. DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

After his Wildcats graduated seven seniors from their 2006 Southern Conference championship team, league coaches picked Davidson to finish fourth in the conference’s South Division. Not fourth in the conference but fourth in the South Division. Davidson responded by winning a school-record 29 games, went 17-1 in the SoCon to run away with the regular-season title, and then swept the tournament championship to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats have played in the postseason for five straight seasons and have a record of six wins and five losses in March during that period. There have been six postseason appearances in the past eight years. So don’t look for McKillop to surrender, or concede an inch of territory, and you certainly won’t hear him making any excuses no matter how the season turns out. It’s not in his DNA. Furthermore, don’t think that Davidson’s cupboard is bare. Far from it. Davidson has enjoyed much recruiting success over the past several years. It keeps a healthy pipeline of talent in the program. In addition, McKillop leans heavily on senior leadership to build team chemistry and this year’s seniors should be outstanding in that regard. The 25

SEASON PREVIEW Wildcats have a bevy of excellent shooters, good depth in both the frontcourt and backcourt, big men that are capable of running the court and willing to do it, and an excellent blend of veterans and young players. Instead of dwelling on what might have been, McKillop prefers to keep it real. Not to do so would be a waste of energy that is not his style. The program has set new school and conference standards for winning over the past five seasons. Is there enough talent available to keep the ride going? Many experts say no, but the Wildcats are pretty good at surprising people when they’re supposed to go quietly. “We’re not going to be ranked high in the preseason or get much national recognition early on,” McKillop acknowledged. “That’s because of the personnel losses we’ve had over the past two seasons. But the players no longer with us mentored the ones that return. That’s a big part of our program. We’ll blend the experiences with the outstanding talent we have and see where it takes us.”

Dan Nelms, 6-10, senior, is an experienced player who has worked relentlessly to improve his basketball skills. He saw action in 29 games as a junior. “Dan’s work ethic puts him in position to fight for a spot in our rotation,” McKillop said. “He knows our system inside and out and because of his unselfishness and teamoriented attitude, is willing and capable of playing a valuable supporting role.” Ben Allison, 6-9, sophomore, is one of the team’s best athletes. His potential is unlimited and he works at the game as hard as anyone on the team. “He’s just scratching the surface and could become an impact player,” Coach McKillop said. “He is athletic and skilled enough to play inside and outside. He will challenge for significant playing time.” Allison played in all 35 games last season and averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds while playing an average of 12 minutes a game. He had a tendency to get in foul trouble last season and hopes to correct it this year. Frank Ben-Eze, 6-10, sophomore, spent The frontcourt much of the offseason recovering from an“We’ll need a distribution of points from other knee surgery. He missed most of prea variety of sources,” McKillop said. “We will season practice last year and joined the team attempt to manufacture points by running for 22 games before hurting his knee in the the court, posting up, rebounding effectively semifinals of the SoCon tournament.

Senior forward Dan Nelms. McKillop said. “He has a superb shooting touch that extends from inside the paint out to the 3-point line. His ability to score in such a variety of ways could be a big plus for us this season. He’s a sponge when it comes to soaking up information about our system and what we expect.” Clint Mann, 6-8, is a talented player who will not be available to play in games for the Wildcats this year, although he will practice with the team. NCAA rules require him to sit out a year after transferring to Davidson from Iowa State, where he played his freshman season. He is a powerful player with the versatility that McKillop seeks from his big men, in that he can score inside and out and runs the floor extremely well. “Clint is a top recruit from two years ago, a recovered jewel,” Coach McKillop said. “He played in the Big 12 last season and would have a significant impact on our team this season if he were eligible. He will spend the season learning our system, practicing with us and further developing his own skills.”

The backcourt Will Archambault, 6-6, senior, is another Wildcat capable of having a breakout season. He played in all 35 games last season, averaged 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and had 54 assists. “He is one of our most gifted players both athletically and physically,” Coach McKillop said. “He is experienced enough to know how to blend his talents within the

SEASON PREVIEW will allow us to be very aggressive defensively on the inside,” McKillop said. “Anchored by Steve Rossiter, our big guys can run and we have enough talented bigs to keep fresh players on the court.” Davidson’s backcourt will be led by seniors Archambault and Barr and junior McKillop. It’s a good passing backcourt with highly-skilled perimeter shooters. “We need to convert our 3-point shooting potential into game production,” McKillop said. “All of our backcourt players can shoot from 3-point range, and our goal is to develop consistency in that art.” McKillop points out that Davidson’s assist to turnover ratio over the past two years has been excellent. “We hope to be equally adept in that area this year,” he said. Defensively, the Wildcats need to stress team defense, which is a McKillop trademark. Three players from last year’s team – Lovedale, Paulhus Gosselin and Curry – were superb defenders. It will take dedicated team defense from this group to make up for their absence. “Our defense will have to mature quickly in order for us to be as good as we were a season ago,” McKillop said. “But we have the potential to be a very good defensive team again this season.” Last year’s Wildcats held opponents to less than 40 percent accuracy from the field, an outstanding mark. However, Davidson’s rebounding advantage over opponents last year averaged only one a game, and that’s an area that these Wildcats might be able to im-

The talented and explosive Curry took 687 of Davidson’s 2,194 shots last season. That was almost one-third of the total shots taken by the team. Others will have to step up and knock down shots this season if Davidson is to continue its path to the postseason. McKillop very much likes his three-man freshman class, calling it “skilled and highly rated.” “They are capable of having an immediate impact on our program,” he said, “and will be counted on for playing time immediately. In order to accomplish it, they will have to fast forward their understanding of the Davidson system. That’s always a challenge, because our attention to detail is at the foundation of all that we do. The more repetitions they get in practice and games, the better the system will be ingrained in their game.” Davidson’s schedule is challenging. It will take Davidson to Seattle to play talented Gonzaga, to Madison Square Garden to play in the Holiday Festival and to Indianapolis to play against perennial powerhouse Butler. The Wildcats will also play in the Charleston Classic and host on-campus games against Rhode Island and UMass of the Atlantic 10. There will be 18 games against Southern Conference opponents in addition to the conference tournament, set for March 5-8 in Charlotte. “While some of the traditional basket-

ball powers are not on this year’s schedule, we have games outside the conference against consistently-successful programs,” McKillop said. “Many of our opponents will have a good chance of playing in the postseason. We’ll see every playing style imaginable as we take on opponents from the Northeast, Midwest, Far West and Southeast. Going against these different styles should help us prepare for the difficult games in our own conference.” He says the schedule “should provide us a laboratory that helps us learn and improve so we can realize our goal of playing our best basketball at tournament time.” There’s one change in McKillop’s coaching staff. Matt Matheny, who served as McKillop’s associate head coach, was named head coach at Elon University last spring and was replaced on Davidson’s staff by former Wildcat player Landry Kosmalski, who graduated from Davidson in 2000. Jim Fox, Matt McKillop and Terrell Ivory remain on the staff. “We’re excited about our team and the potential it has,” McKillop said. “I’m looking forward to coaching them and seeing how much we improve as the season progresses.” It’s one of the good things about college basketball. Coaches must accept the challenge of having a new team each and every season. It’s a challenge Bob McKillop welcomes.

DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

ARCHAMBAULT IS HOPING THE WILDCATS CAN SPRING SOME SURPRISES Archambault has worked hard in the offseason to make his senior campaign a memorable one. DAVIDSON - No one could ever accuse Will Archambault of being a slacker. He prepared for his senior season with a dedication shown only by high-level athletes. He spent his summer in Davidson lifting weights, running, playing pickup basketball with his teammates. The result of all that work is a wellconditioned athlete who looks forward to the season and his new role of senior leadership. Funny how time can change a man’s perspective. When Archambault arrived at Davidson from Montreal as a freshman he thought the four collegiate years would never end. “I can’t believe how fast my time here has passed,” he says now. “As a freshman I Archambault thought, ‘This is going to be a long four years.’ I’ve had a great time in college and it’s hard to believe that I’m a senior.” He’s older now, more mature, has experienced a lot of ups and a few downs. He’s also observed how important good senior leadership is to Davidson’s program. He recalls well how former Wildcat Boris Meno took him under his wing when Archambault first arrived on campus. “I’ve had three great seasons here,” he says, “and want to finish it up with a fourth great one. I’m looking forward to the leadership role of being a senior.” Archambault is an interesting young man who isn’t easy to characterize. He doesn’t fit neatly into anybody’s preconceived package. For instance, he’s a sports fan who follows college basketball, ice hockey and soccer, but when asked in the preseason what he thought of Davidson’s schedule, he said he hadn’t looked at it. What’s the purpose? The games have to be played one at a time. Archambault knows it’s a process with no shortcuts. Looking far ahead serves no useful purpose. “Our team this season needs to stay focused and play with consistency,” he says. So Archambault narrows his own focus to the next play, the next practice, maybe the next game. But no further ahead than that. Looking down the road a month or two, in his mind, doesn’t help him or the team. Archambault is hoping not only for his best season but also his healthiest one. Knock wood, please. He had surgery on both knee two summers ago. The healing process took a long time along with hours of rehabilitation. But as he prepared for this season, he said confidently, “My knees feel better than they have in years.” Consequently, he feels more athletic and quicker. He looks the part, too. He’s gained five or six pounds from last year and toned his body to the point that his body fat is low and his energy high.

Archambault knows the challenges that await the Wildcats. “Some people don’t even think we’ll be in the top 150 of Division 1 teams this year,” he says. He understands the reasoning but doesn’t agree with it. He absolutely doesn’t agree with it, even though the team lost 40 points of offense a game and 13 rebounds with the departure of senior Andrew Lovedale and junior Stephen Curry. They will be without the SoCon’s top defensive player with the graduation of Max Paulhus Gosselin. Those personnel losses can be debilitating or exhilarating. Take your pick. Archambault prefers to look on the bright side, understanding that college teams turn over every year and you play with what you have, not with what you once had. “Our team can be pretty good,” Archambault predicts. “We have a lot of weapons. Everybody on our team can shoot. Each player handles the ball well for the position he plays. Our offense will definitely be different without Stephen (Curry) and Andrew (Lovedale). Each player needs to know his role and perform it well. We lost some excellent defenders, but if we play team defense like we’re taught, we can be a pretty good defensive team.” Like most of his teammates, Archambault feels the Wildcats got a good start on the season when they traveled to Italy last August for two weeks of playing basketball and exploring a part of the world that most of them had never seen. “It was a great life experience,” Archambault says. “As for the basketball part, we saw and felt what it was like when we played well as a team. Steve (Rossiter) rebounded like a beast in those games.” Archambault averaged 8.3 points and 4.3 rebounds as a junior in playing 24 minutes a game. All of those numbers are expected to increase this season. His passing skills and court vision are so good that he could be Davidson’s best passer. He made a slight change to his perimeter shooting setup last year that allowed him to square up better resulting in his 3-point shooting accuracy rising from 28.3 percent as a sophomore to 34.5 percent as a junior. Archambault, while praising each and every one of his teammates and their improvement, is satisfied to let actions describe his own play. He’s athletic enough to be one of the best players not only on Davidson’s team but in the entire Southern Conference. That’s his potential. A keen competitor with a strong dislike of losing, Archambault is often his own strongest critic. He understands that his

game will be enhanced if he cuts himself a break and doesn’t get down on himself. It’s a problem that many competitors face. Archambault’s parents are Germain and Sylvie. His sister, Marie-Laurence, plays college basketball for Wagner. Will says he gets his competitive drive from his father, who is a chemical engineer. Soccer was Archambault’s first sport. Basketball wasn’t much on his mind until nine years ago when an acquaintance, seeing he was tall for his age, asked him to give the sport a try. Archambault tried it, liked it, took training that increased his vertical jump by 13 inches in 12 weeks and had a growth spurt that took his height from 6-1 to its current 66. His extraordinary basketball talents didn’t go unnoticed. College coaches showed up on his doorstep with scholarships in hand. His college finalists were West Virginia, Richmond, Rice and Davidson. He visited the University of Richmond, where he liked the campus and its beauty but didn’t fall head over heels in love with the city. The recruiting visit to Davidson pretty much sealed the deal. Archambault’s first two Davidson teams won Southern Conference championships and made strong showings in the NCAA tournament, including one trip to the Elite Eight. His junior year team sailed through the SoCon regular season but lost in the conference tournament. The reward was a third trip to the postseason that sent the Wildcats to the NIT where they won one and lost one. Archambault likes the idea of March basketball and is hoping his senior season will be extended with postseason play. Basketball is extremely important to Archambault, and he hopes to play professionally after Davidson. He’s an excellent student and a political science major that has no idea right now what path he wants to travel after his basketball career ends. He has plenty of time to decide, because he’s planning to play basketball for many years into the future. What faces him now in his favorite sport is all a process. He understands the way only seniors do. Treat each possession as if it’s the most important you’ll ever play. Understand that each game is a season unto itself and looking too far ahead leads to nothing more fruitful than falling lure to fool’s gold. And be sure to tell the underclassmen to enjoy the moment because their four college seasons will be a blur. “My first three seasons here have been great. Now I’d like to top it off with a special fourth one,” Archambault says. If hard work and dedication matter – and they most certainly do – a safe prediction would seem to be that the best lies ahead for Will Archambault. Knowing how hard he’s prepared, it would be well deserved. 31

BARR BELIEVES IN EXTENDING A HAND TO THOSE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE The senior organized a charity event that raised $16,000 for families in Africa. DAVIDSON - Let’s talk for just a minute about Bryant Barr, the basketball player. He’s a good one, no question about it. He’s played in 104 games in his Davidson career, and Davidson’s record in Barr’s first three seasons was 85-20 overall and an incredulous 62-4 against Southern Conference foes. Played in the postseason all three years, too. How does he perform when the pressure is highest? In the biggest game of his Davidson career played before 57,500 fans in attendance in Detroit and millions more watching on television around the world, he entered in the second half in the Elite Eight against Kansas. Davidson had seen its small lead evaporate with just over 11 minutes to play, and coach Bob McKillop Barr was looking for a spark. Barr made four-of-six field goals for a quick 11 points as Davidson temporarily regained the lead before losing by two. He’s not afraid of a challenge, in basketball or life, and serves as a classic example of actions speaking louder than words. That’s good, because Barr raves about his teammates and coaches and his life at Davidson, but seldom talks about himself. If he did he would have quite a story to tell. He’s a brilliant student, a double major in math and economics. He has privileges that some others lack and knows it, but he believes in sharing. No sitting this one out, not Bryant Barr, not when so many people around the world are fighting against almost insurmountable odds. He walks the walk, this Davidson senior. A trip to Jamaica to help build a Christian retreat center pulled at his heartstrings. While there, a youth pastor told him of the horrific problems being caused by malaria in Africa. Barr came back to Davidson, organized auctions, threeon-three tournaments, spoke to school children in the area and got them involved in fundraising, created a web site, all with the goal of raising $5,000 for the Nothing but Nets program that provides malaria bed nets for Africans. “A child in Africa dies of malaria every 30 seconds,” Barr says. “Africa loses $11 billion a year from malaria-related problems.” The campaign he led in the Davidson community didn’t raise his hoped-for $5,000; it raised $16,000. Area school children in grades three through eight joined Barr’s crusade after hearing him speak and raised $6,000 for the campaign, and in the process, learned about the tragedy that plagues so many children their age in Africa. Talk about a learning experience. The malaria bed nets cost $10 each, and four people can sleep inside each net. The campaign that Barr led is shipping 1,600 malaria

bed nets to Africa. That’s the definition of caring, helping and showing compassion for those in need. His brilliant performance against Kansas, as exciting as it was, pales in the overall scheme of things compared to his Nothing but Nets drive. “People in the United States have so much,” Barr says. “Millions of people around the world wake up each day in a tin shack with no water, no plumbing. They can’t even take a shower. As a D-1 basketball player, I have a chance to give back.” It’s the way he lives his life. Nothing preachy about it. Just action. Over the years, on college campuses all over America, people have debated whether or not scholarship athletes add much to the overall college experience other than playing games. Using Bryant Barr as an example, what do you think? Is the question even relevant? Meanwhile, Barr’s senior basketball season will take on a new role with more responsibility. He’s been under great senior leadership at Davidson from the likes of Thomas Sander, Jason Richards, Max Paulhus Gosselin, Andrew Lovedale, Boris Meno and others. Now it’s his turn. “We’re a different team this year with Steph (Curry) gone,” Barr said. “For the past three years, things revolved around Steph. It worked out well because of his humility and unselfishness. He was a great teammate. With him gone, we’ll be more balanced, more like Davidson teams of the past. We have a lot of players back that have playing experience, and our depth is good. If we stay within our system, I think we should be fine.” Barr knows much of the basketball world doesn’t share his view. “I think most everyone wrote us off the minute Steph announced he was leaving,” he said. “We probably dropped three or four spots in the conference standings in the eyes of most people. It’s a little bit like it was my freshman year. People sold us short because Davidson had lost seven seniors from the previous season.” The Wildcats won a school-record 29 games that season and finished 17-1 in conference play. Barr looks forward to all of the basketball challenges that can be hurled at him this season. His candor is refreshing, and he says he didn’t play up to his own expectations last season. “I’m a little disappointed in my play last season,” he said, “simply because I didn’t play the way I wanted to or expected to. I didn’t shoot well, for one thing. This year my goal is

to be a solid player for our team, which needs me to score more. I want to play solidly in all phases of the game and be on the court in tough situations.” Even though the Wildcats had a terrific season last year, finishing 27-8 overall and 18-2 in the conference, it was no walk in the park. After the previous season’s run to the Elite Eight, the basketball world, especially Davidson’s own fans, thought maybe a trip to the Final Four was within reach. The pressure was palpable. “I think the expectations for last year’s team began to wear on us toward the end of the season,” Barr said. “We were everybody’s target.” He’s not complaining, please understand. He loved his team having a seat at the national table. The Wildcats were on television quite often and played games in Madison Square Garden and Conseco Fieldhouse against teams like Butler, NC State and Duke. Huge crowds showed up to watch Davidson, especially the young man named Curry. It was all good and exciting. Barr’s ready for more and thinks the chemistry on his final Davidson team is about as good as it could be. The preseason trip to Italy helped, but careful recruiting by Davidson’s coaches plays a much bigger role. They bring in players that believe in playing unselfishly and putting the team first. It’s easy to mesh with teammates like that, and this year’s Davidson team has a roster full of them. Barr, 6-5, from Falmouth, Maine, can shoot outside with the best of them. He continues to work on his shot off the dribble. One or two dribbles, stop, jump, shoot. He can do that. His goal is to play the role that Coach McKillop assigns him. “I’m not the kind of guy that’s going to put the ball on the floor and blow by people,” he says, smiling, “and Coach doesn’t want me to be that guy. But there are other things I can do to help the team, and those are the things that I want to concentrate on.” Barr is so good in math that just listening to him talk about it can cause those not so gifted a serious headache. His goal is to be an actuary, a person that calculates insurance rates. Try taking that on. He wants to work and simultaneously be in an actuarial development program whereby he’ll work and take exams in his field over a period of five or six years. He’s always been stellar at math, loves working with figures, so he’ll do just fine. For now, he’s excited about his Davidson team. “Our big guys can run and rebound,” he says. “Did you see the way Frank (Ben-Eze) affected the College of Charleston game in the tournament last year? We have a lot of great shooters. We have a chance to be pretty good.” They do, indeed. And expect Bryant Barr to play an important role. He’s the kind of guy that can be counted on, as a teammate and a friend of the world. 35

NELMS READY TO BE ONE OF THE SENIOR LEADERS The Lake Forest, Ill., native has prepared himself for an increased role this season. DAVIDSON - Dan Nelms could be called Davidson’s gentle giant. He’s 6-10, weighs 220, and strong as an ox. He’s also quiet, introspective, intelligent and unselfish. Extremely unselfish. Team guy all the way. He’s seen good basketball times as a Wildcat. Has he ever. Dominate times. His three Davidson teams won 85 games and lost 20. But if you want to talk real domination, consider what those three teams did against Southern Conference foes: 55 regular-season wins and only three losses. The record in the SoCon tournament during that stretch is 7-1, with two conference tournament championships. His first Davidson team was 17-1 in regular-season conference Nelms play, his sophomore team was 20-0, and his junior team was 18-2. Overall against conference teams in those three years, Davidson was an unimaginable 62-4. Nelms got a taste of the good times as a freshman when Davidson went to the NCAA tournament in Buffalo and led Maryland deep into the second half before losing by eight. The next year was the dream team, the one that advanced all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight. And last year, after being upset by College of Charleston in the SoCon tournament, Davidson beat South Carolina in the NIT before losing at Saint Mary’s of California in the second round. There’s plenty there to fill a scrapbook, but even though Nelms has an impressive basketball pedigree, he’s hungry for more. Hey, it’s okay for basketball players to be a little bit greedy when it comes to team ambitions. He’s a senior now, which means leadership responsibilities that he hasn’t had before. “It was a little different feeling going into the season as a senior,” he said, “but I’m excited about it. I think we have a good team and a chance to surprise some people who might sell us short.” Nelms played sparingly his first three seasons but still emerged as one of Davidson’s most popular players among his teammates. He plays hard, practices hard, never takes a play off. It’s one of the things that attracted Coach McKillop to him during the player’s recruitment. Nelms is expected to play more this season and contribute more. His main contributions to the team coming into this season have come in practice. That work will continue to be important, but his game minutes will also play a bigger role. He seems to be ready for it. He spent last summer in Davidson lifting weights three days a week, doing agility drills two days, playing pickup ball at every opportunity.

That work along with maturity has resulted in him increasing his speed and quickness. He runs the court faster and with seemingly less effort. “My offseason of work went really well,” Nelms said. “The trip our team took to Italy was invaluable because we had good practices at home before we left. I thought we played well as a team in Italy and made improvements during our time over there. We also learned some things that we needed to work on. It was a good bonding experience for our team that should help us this season.” Nelms sees the Davidson frontcourt as one with exceptional depth and filled with guys who can run the floor well and are willing to do it each time. “We worked hard on our running,” he said, “and our goal is to run hard every possession. I feel like I’m more agile and running better, and my confidence is up.” Nelms says the experience he gained in his first three Davidson seasons will help him as a senior. “I’ve learned a lot under our coaching staff, which is one of the best staffs in the nation. With Steph leaving, all of us know we have to step up and do our part. I think we’ve reloaded and will still be successful.” Nelms says the team has various strengths that should come in handy, one of which is excellent shooters at every position. He also sees a team with good depth, a nice blend of veterans and youth, experience and raw enthusiasm. “The system that we run gives us our real strength,” Nelms said. “We have guys that are ready to assume their role and play well within that system. We work together well as a team, and I think we’re going to be a lot better than some people think. Some people undervalue team play, but it’s our strength. We can be a good defensive team as long as we do what we’re taught, which is play team defense.” Davidson’s dash to the Elite Eight two years ago thrilled Nelms just as it did basketball fans all over America. He had a taste of what that was like and would love an encore. He’s not so brash that he would predict another season like it, but his competitive instincts make him believe that it is not out of the realm of possibility. Nelms didn’t make any bones about Davidson reaching the Elite Eight. He didn’t see the Wildcats as a Cinderella story as many were writing and saying, but rather a team that worked hard, believed in itself and

earned what it got. Davidson basketball has set a standard of excellence and doesn’t have to apologize for crashing parties that some folks think are reserved for only the game’s most highly-acclaimed programs. Big Dan thinks Davidson has earned a seat at that table. Nelms’ basketball career has been special when you consider that he never gave college basketball a thought until he began playing AAU ball during high school at Lake Forest, where he lettered for two years. College basketball was not on his personal radar screen for a long time. His goal was go to college and study engineering, preferably at a large school. He applied for early admission to Florida, Harvard, Lehigh and Penn. But his experience playing AAU ball changed his mind about playing college ball. It was suddenly his goal, and he went to Phillips Exeter Academy to enhance his chances. Turned out to be a good decision. Davidson first heard about Nelms from AAU ball, scouted him in prep school, offered him a basketball scholarship and changed his life. Now Nelms is hoping that his basketball career will extend beyond Davidson. His desire is to play the sport as long as he can. Instead of going to a big college, Nelms found himself at Davidson, a small school and one of the top liberal arts colleges in the nation. Time waits for no man, though, and this is the last season in a Davidson uniform for Nelms and three other seniors. He hopes it will be a season that produces additional stories for the scrapbook, more good memories to take with him when he puts away his Davidson uniform for the last time. An economics major from Lake Forest, Ill., Nelms has a hard time believing that the first three years of his Davidson career passed this fast. He stands with Steve Rossiter, Will Archambault and Bryant Barr as the team’s senior leaders. Stephen Curry would have joined them in this class had he not entered the NBA draft one year before his college eligibility was up. Curry, a great teammate, made his decision after long and careful consideration. Leaving Davidson early was not easy for him. Others on the team will have to play at the top of their games. But the most important thing they’ll need to do is play together. That’s a McKillop trademark. Play unselfishly and stick together through thick and thin. “I think our team is ready for it,” Nelms said. 39

ROSSITER EMERGES AS ONE OF COACH MCKILLOP’S BEST LEADERS EVER The redshirt senior does all the little things to help Davidson be successful. DAVIDSON - Please, when trying to evaluate Steve Rossiter’s value to Davidson, put away the statistics. Okay, if you insist: 6.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, played in all 35 games, averaged 24 minutes a game. That was last season. Those are his raw numbers. They don’t measure winning, though. They represent just a tiny part of the story. Rossiter did the unselfish things that helped Davidson win 27 games, things that don’t make box scores or highlight reels or find their way into newspaper accounts of the game. He set strong screens, made immaculate cuts, ran the court hard each possession and brought the wood on defense. Team rebounds? The guess here is that Rossiter’s rebounding statistics would have doubled if Rossiter balls he tipped to teammates were counted. He was accountable. His teammates and coaches know it. You can count on Rossiter to be in the right place at the right time and bring a good attitude with him. He’s that kind of player, that kind of person. Selfless. Too busy thinking about others to dwell on himself. Rare and refreshing is what it is. This is his fifth year in Davidson’s program. He sat out his freshman season after injuring a foot in preseason practice. Maybe he’ll play basketball after this season, maybe not. But this is the last time he’ll suit up for Davidson. It means a lot to him, an awful lot. “One of the greatest leaders we’ve had in my tenure as Davidson’s coach.” That’s the way coach Bob McKillop describes Rossiter. He has good basketball skills, too. Make no mistake about that. His game has improved each season. He’s a better shooter, passer, rebounder and defender than he was when he enrolled at Davidson with a smile on his face and anxiety in his heart. He’s a college basketball player now. A good one. “I know how important senior leadership is in our program,” Rossiter says. “I feel I have a little advantage because I came in with last year’s senior class and tried to step up with them last season. I’ve always tried to prepare myself well for the season. I stayed around Davidson last summer to work with my teammates. It was the first time I’d done it. I feel I’m ready.” Rossiter’s a coach’s dream in more ways than you can count. In the first place, he loves basketball, so working at it and practicing and playing in the games and hanging out with teammates is to him fun, not a chore. He cherishes the time. In particular, he loves Davidson basketball. That’s nice, Steve, and you’d be expected to say it, but please explain. “I’ve played a good bit of summer basketball elsewhere in getting in shape for our season,” he said. “There is so much selfishness, so much attention paid to individual statistics

and achievements. It’s the complete opposite at Davidson. All of our players are unselfish; if anything, at times we might be too unselfish. It all goes back to the kind of player Coach McKillop and his coaches bring in. They’re all good people who are talented players, willing to work hard and learn. Our three freshmen are exactly that way. It’s fun to play here, and on top of that, the guys on the team also happen to be my best friends.” Rossiter is 6-7, reported to practice in the best shape of his career and believes the team received a big boost from the summer trip to Italy where they played six games. “We did some great things over there when we played within our system and took care of details,” he said. “All of us had some lapses, too. But we saw how good we could be if we did things the right way.” Rossiter is an integral part of Davidson’s inside game, the “Bigs” as they’re called. “I’m really excited about our big guys,” he said. “Coach wants his big guys to run, rebound and defend, and this group can do it. We’re going to run the court hard even if we don’t have a chance to get the ball, because in the process we might open up a lane for a teammate. I think we’ll have good rebounders, and every player on our team is committed to playing team defense. Our goal is to do it consistently, to play well on defense each time.” Rossiter is that way, highlighting the good things done by his teammates. All very good. But this will be the first season in three years that Davidson has played without All-America Stephen Curry. It’s a huge loss. “I loved playing with him,” Rossiter said. “He was a great teammate. We’ll miss him as well as the three seniors that we lost. But losses like that occur in college basketball. Davidson has suffered personnel losses before and moved on. That’s our challenge. It will open up new opportunities for other players who have worked very hard for the chance. No doubt, we have a new team, and it’ll be interesting to see how all the pieces fit together.” The Wildcats got a lot of love last season and were in just everybody’s Preseason Top25. It was a pleasant leftover from the 2008 Elite Eight. Nowhere to be found in the 200910 preseason polls are the Wildcats. It’s almost like they are invisible. “I don’t care what they think,” Rossiter said of the prognosticators, not disrespectfully but just stating his case. “With Steph gone they don’t think we can do it. They don’t know what the rest of us can do, but we know and we’re excited about it. This was a little bit like my first year playing when we were picked to finish fourth in the South Division of the conference. Maybe we can use it as motivation.”

Davidson set a school record with 29 wins that season, was 17-1 in the conference, played in the NCAA tournament. The high expectations heaped on last year’s Davidson team might have had a negative effect. Some players insist it didn’t, some others say it sort of wore them down. Rossiter has his own perspective. “We did everything we could last year,” he said. “We came to practice every day determined to work hard and get better. We didn’t take anything for granted. The tournament loss to College of Charleston was one of the most disappointing I’ve ever had, but the team played as hard as it could. I just wish I could have done more to help us win.” It shows how far the program has progressed when a 27-8 season is considered somewhat disappointing. Rossiter has made his own improvements, huge improvements, in his college career and hopes he can set the same example for Davidson’s underclassmen as former Wildcat Thomas Sander set for him. “I’ve tried to model my game after his,” Rossiter says of Sander. “He played great defense, set screens, took charges, rebounded and had a high basketball IQ.” Rossiter has passed the test with high marks. In praising Sander’s game he inadvertently describes his own. The Rossiter family is closeknit. Steve’s parents, Steve and Pat, crisscross the country in the winter following Davidson and Siena basketball. Steve’s brother, Ryan, is a junior for Siena. It must run in the family, because both Rossiter boys have emerged as excellent college players. Father Steve played college hoops for Loyola of Maryland and still fires a mean jump shot. Rossiter, who is majoring in sociology, loves sports, including the New York Yankees. He hasn’t blueprinted his life. Maybe he will play more basketball next season, in Europe or elsewhere. Maybe he’ll go to work. Maybe unexpected avenues will open. There will come a time to decide those things, to deal with them, but it’s not now. Rossiter knows how time flies, especially the good times. “Maybe some of the exams, some of the trials and tribulations haven’t passed all that fast,” he says, smiling, “but the good times certainly have. The basketball times have passed faster than I wanted.” His Davidson experience has surpassed his expectations, he says. His memories to this point are varied, sweet and indelible. There’s time left for more, a final chapter. Maybe his last season will unfold the way he wants, maybe it won’t. That’s the mystery of sports. But Steve Rossiter will give it his best shot. There’s no mystery there.

AFTER LEARNING FROM TWO GREAT ONES, IT’S NOW MCKILLOP’S TIME Brendan McKillop is prepared to take over the role of the point guard in the Davidson system. DAVIDSON - Brendan McKillop has waited his turn. Patiently waited for it as he played behind two of the best point guards in Davidson history, Jason Richards and Stephen Curry. It wasn’t wasted time, though. Not a minute of it. McKillop was like a sponge when he was around Richards and Curry. Whether it was playing against them in practice or working out with them in the summer or talking basketball in bull sessions, McKillop soaked it up. He studied tapes of the two players, observed how they handled their leadership roles and marveled at how intelligently McKillop and aggressively they attacked and kept opponents on their heels. McKillop, 6-1, junior, believes he is ready to captain the ship. He’s put in the time, his game has improved and matured, so it seems that he’s ready to lead the Wildcats from the all-important point guard position. McKillop’s playing time increased significantly last season, as he played an average of 17 minutes a game compared to five minutes as a freshman. In reality, the preparation started long before his freshman season. The son of coach Bob McKillop, Brendan can’t recall a winter without Davidson basketball. It’s been a major part of his life. He grew up watching the Wildcats practice, play games, viewed game tapes with them, talked basketball for hours on end with his father and brother, Matt, now a Davidson assistant coach and a former Davidson player. Brendan could have gone elsewhere to play after averaging 26 points a game at Charlotte Catholic High and being named the Queen City 3A/4A Player of the Year. He’s glad he stayed home. Davidson has been in his blood for his entire life. It hasn’t always been easy, though, playing for his father, who is as meticulous as a Swiss watchmaker. Point guards are often the first to be called out when things don’t go right for Davidson. It goes with the position. Coach McKillop wants things done just right. He treats details with the same devotion that an artist chooses colors to paint a sunset. The Davidson point guard knows that cuts must be precise and on time. Screens should be set at just the right angle. The pass should be delivered on time and thrown this way and received this way. Coach McKillop would no more neglect a detail than a chef would leave out an important ingredient in concocting the dish that made him famous. The minutiae make the chef world class. They make Davidson basketball a winner.

The point guard conducts the Davidson basketball symphony. He must know where each player on the court should be, what their responsibilities and roles are. When they wander out of position, it’s his job to set them straight. He calls the offensive and defensive sets. He must know when to push the ball and when to slow it up. There’s a lot on his table. It’s a challenging position mentally and physically. Brendan McKillop knows it. He respects it but doesn’t fear it. Big difference. Brendan had a good offseason of preparation. After overcoming a badly sprained ankle that occurred in May and sidelined him for five weeks, he spent the summer conditioning his body and scrimmaging a lot with his teammates. He paid extra attention to his ballhandling and to providing leadership by being more vocal and outgoing. He says he’s comfortable with the progress he made. His confidence is up and he feels good about the way he has played in preparation for the season. The team’s summer trip to Italy was just what the doctor ordered, in Brendan’s mind. “I think our team chemistry is the best it’s been since I’ve been here,” he says. “We spent two weeks together in Italy with no TV. We talked a lot, hung out together, played the games against good competition and traveled to new places. We’re a tight group.” Brendan likes what he saw from his teammates in the six games played in Italy. “We have a lot of guys on this team that can make shots,” he said. “We’re not going to have a problem scoring.” Not bragging, just reporting the news as he sees it. He says Davidson will have depth and great versatility. “Our big guys are strong and aggressive and can knock down threes. Will (Archambault) and Ben (Allison) are special athletes. We need our guards to rebound well this year. That has to be one of our points of emphasis.” Define the role of a point guard, please. “He’s the quarterback on the court and he must lead the team,” Brendan says. “It’s his job to control the tempo of the game and be sure that the first pass is an easy one, because if it is, the others will also be easy.” McKillop’s freshman season ended in an electrifying run to the Elite Eight. The Wildcats lost in the Southern Conference tournament last year but made it to the NIT where

they beat South Carolina before losing to Saint Mary’s of California. McKillop averaged 4.9 points a game for the season. He is an exceptional perimeter shooter who has worked hard to improve his ability to attack the basket and finish shots inside. Jason Richards was a master of this and McKillop has studied tapes of the way his former mentor did it. He expects to be much better at it himself this season. And what about expectations for this team, the first Davidson team in three years that takes the court without All-America Steph Curry? McKillop’s first two Davidson teams won 56 games and lost only 15, and each played in the postseason. That’s not exactly dog meat. But this is a new team with new challenges and outsiders will, no doubt, view it differently, maybe even giving it less respect than deserved. “It might be fun,” Brendan said. “While it’s possible that some teams will overlook us, I see it more as opponents looking at us like baseball looks at the Yankess and the NFL looks at the Steelers. They don’t like us and want badly to beat us. Whatever the expectations, we will embrace them. If we play every game like it’s the biggest one we’ve ever played, I think we have the capability to surprise some people who might think we’re not going to be very good.” Brendan says Davidson’s freshman are good enough to win some playing time this season, which he says will make depth an even greater strength. This is a team that blends veterans and rookies: four seniors, three freshmen, five sophomores, and McKillop as the lone junior. “Another strength of our team is the leadership provided by our seniors. It’s very good,” Brendan says. After biding his time for two seasons, watching and learning and competing against two pretty good players, McKillop is ready to step up. He’s not afraid to be tested. What did he learn from Richards? McKillop smiles and says, “How to play the game the right way.” The ball’s in McKillop’s hands now. He saw Richards play the point one way and Curry in a completely different manner, each with tremendous success. He will create his own identity as he takes on the job as Davidson’s quarterback on the court. He’s shown mental toughness and resiliency in his first two seasons. It’s time to put those lessons to good use. 47

ALLISON EAGER TO TEST THE WATERS AFTER TWO YEARS OF LEARNING THE SYSTEM The big man from England has worked on developing good basketball habits. DAVIDSON - One of the most refreshing and engaging personalities on the Davidson team belongs to Ben Allison, the 6-9 redshirt sophomore from West Sussex, England, who has a burning passion for basketball and a deep determination to get better. He’s on the right track, yes he is. He has improved his game significantly since coming to America and still has only begun to show what he’s capable of doing on the court. He weighed about 200 pounds when he came to Davidson two years ago. He didn’t play in the post in England during his schoolboy career, so when he showed up for practice and started battling with forAllison mer Davidson center Thomas Sander and forward Boris Meno, it was a new experience. He came out of most practices banged up and bruised. “I knew then that I had to get stronger,” Allison said. He’s gained close to 30 pounds and started this season weighing 228. He worked out hard in the offseason, ran sprints and distances, did more than his share of lifting weights, played pickup ball with his teammates, and when alone, he went to the gym to work on individual moves. It was a busy summer, very productive. In addition to his basketball work, he took a literature course at Davidson. “I went home to England in the summer for two weeks and was here the rest of the time,” Allison said. “Then we had our trip to Italy, which was a good experience. We packed so much into those two weeks – basketball and travel. The Italian Alps were unbelievable, beautiful. Our team chemistry was great anyway, and it was just enhanced on the trip. It was good being with the coaches away from school. We played great at times over there, not so well at other times. We learned and our fight was good. We fought really well, we competed.” Allison spent much of the summer in Davidson working out with Will Archambault, Dan Nelms and Frank Ben-Eze. They did agility on Tuesdays and Thursdays, lifted weights the other days and played pickup ball consistently. Then they just hung out together, maybe took in a movie or spent the afternoon at the lake. Personal improvement and team building. Great strides made which could show up this season on the court. That’s the plan. Allison knows the challenge that faces him and the team. Stephen Curry averaged nearly 29 points a game last season and was virtu-

ally unstoppable in Southern Conference games. He’s now in the NBA. This will be the first Davidson game for Allison without Curry as a teammate. It’ll take some getting used to. “Steph is an unbelievable player and was a great teammate,” Allison said. “Now that he’s not here, everyone on the team knows that we need to step up our own game. We have a lot of talent as well as good depth.” Lifting and doing agility drills, Allison says, have made him quicker and stronger. He’s a more confident player now, saying that developing good basketball habits is what increases a player’s confidence. Maybe even more important, as far as Allison is concerned, is that he has come to understand coach Bob McKillop’s system, the way he expects the game to be played. Allison was thrilled when McKillop traveled to England to watch him play as a schoolboy athlete and offer him a Davidson scholarship. But when he got here, he quickly recognized that he was going to be on a steep learning curve. McKillop’s system demands attention to small details, so it was a blessing that Allison took the redshirt his freshman season. When he suited up for games last season, he was much better equipped to handle it, though far from a finished product. He had to do a lot of thinking instead of playing by instinct. It was like he was painting by the numbers, feeling his way from play to play. But things began to click for him as the season went along. He flashed some moments of brilliance that were spectacular, such as a dunk he made barreling down the lane against West Virginia that brought a roar from the hard-to-impress crowd at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Allison’s athleticism is extraordinarily high, and he has the basketball skills that allow him to score inside and still stretch the defense with a good shooting touch from the perimeter. He has the entire package. Now he must refine it. “I’m pretty sure the rest of the Southern Conference celebrated when Steph decided to go to the NBA,” Allison said. “But our team is going to be able to score. We will have a balanced attack, inside and outside. We have a very unselfish team. Our big guys can run and are willing to run the floor. I’m excited about our prospects.”

Allison believes that things are beginning to click for him. His game is now more about making good things happen instead of playing to avoid mistakes. He’s gained the knowledge and the confidence to play that way. That’s good news for Davidson, not so good news for opponents. Allison is going to continue to improve, and he loves the competitive nature of college basketball in America. “The person who wins in the post is the one who surrenders last,” he says. Allison also feels more comfortable in America now that he’s been here for going on three years. He discovered new things when he first arrived at Davidson from his England home. Everything looked bigger to him over here: the buildings, cars, even the portions of food. Thank goodness, the village of Davidson was much like home. “I’m not a big-city boy,” he says. His goal for years was to play college basketball in America. He grew up watching it on television and loves this country’s passion for the sport. The excitement of Davidson’s NCAA Elite Eight run two years ago is exactly what Allison dreamed of being a part of. Unfortunately, that was Allison’s redshirt season, and while he was very much a part of the team, he had to watch it unfold from the bench. Now as he embarks on his sophomore season, he likes what he sees from his teammates. “We have good leadership at every position and especially from our seniors,” he says. “We have good defensive habits. It’s going to be Davidson team defense, which means we have to trust that our teammates are going to be there to help. I think our rebounding will be fine.” Davidson’s freshmen have impressed Allison. “They’re aggressive, listen well and learn fast.” Allison is a disciple of Coach McKillop’s philosophy. He’s bought in completely. “Coach tells us it’s not about arrogance, but we work so hard because we expect to win,” Allison said. “Even with Steph in the NBA, we still expect to win. Our players have put in the work. We have a great schedule and a chance to do some good things. I’m enjoying basketball a lot right now. My teammates all have good fight in them. Playing with them and for these coaches is exciting.” 51

DAVIDSON - AJ Atkinson’s role on the team is clearly defined: play as hard and as well in practice as possible so he can push members of the starting rotation and make them better players. Until further notice, practices are his games, and his chance to win playing time will be determined by how much he improves. And it’s fine with AJ. Perfectly fine. Now a sophomore walk-on, he played the role last year and had a festival. It’s still competition, and AJ loves to compete and hang out with his teammates. “I loved every minute of last season,” Atkinson says. “I enjoyed traveling with the Atkinson team, practicing with them, getting a chance to continue my basketball career. I’m grateful to Coach McKillop for the opportunity.” Atkinson’s transition from high school basketball at RJ Reynolds High in WinstonSalem to a spot on Davidson’s roster wasn’t easy for him. Not at all easy. He had to adjust to the speed of the college game as well as the understanding that playing defense at Davidson, which is a total team effort, was a huge leap and change from playing defense in high school. “Defense was more an individual thing in high school,” Atkinson said. “Learning Davidson’s team defense is an on-going process. For our defense to be as good as Coach McKillop wants it, each man has to do his job. Because of injury to Frank (Ben-Eze), I spent a lot of practice time last season going against our big guys. It was a challenge, but it taught me how to play defense down low. I learned some valuable lessons.” He also learned what it felt like to get pounded on by bigger and stronger players. It helps to love the game, that’s for sure. Atkinson thinks he grew about half an inch since last season and is listed at 6-6. He wears a size 15 shoe, and ironically one of his goals is to learn to move those feet faster so he can defend better. “I need to improve my defensive quickness and see the court better on defense,” he said. “But I definitely gained confidence from last year’s experience and working hard in the offseason.” Atkinson spent most of the summer at home working out two or three times a day. That included shooting drills that stressed shooting off the dribble, driving to the basket for layups and polishing his 3-point delivery. 54

He also made the short trip to Davidson on numerous occasions to play pickup with teammates. There was also time reserved for running both for distance and sprints and lifting weights. His goals for the Wildcats this season? “We’d like to shock the people who think we’re going to fall off the map without Steph (Curry). We know we can compete. We must fight through adversity and never surrender. Some teams might take us lightly because of the personnel losses we had from last season.” Atkinson competes in the classroom as well as on the basketball court. He’s an excellent student who plans to major in either anthropology or sociology with an eye on entering what he calls the fascinating field of forensic criminology. He’s always been interested in science and watching the movie “Jaws” sparked his keen interest in sharks and whales. He studies the creatures, marvels at their powerful strength and beauty and studies their habits. For these purposes, his vast knowledge of the giant sea creatures can be summed up in a nutshell: Don’t mess with either of them. He says some Great White Sharks weigh as much as a ton and a half and it’s not rare to find a killer whale that is 25 feet long. “Sharks feed mostly at dawn and dusk,” AJ tells us. Okay, you’ve been warned. Obey the rules — and remember, sharks and whales make the rules and enforce them. We hope those tips come in handy. Atkinson is polite, softspoken and courteous. He has a smile for just about everybody. When it was time for him to choose a college, he narrowed the field to North Carolina and Davidson. The Wildcats had an edge, a significant one, because Atkinson’s father – Alvin Atkinson – was an excellent running back for the Davidson football team and graduated from the college in 1981. “My father loves Davidson,” AJ says, “so he was pretty happy when I decided to come here.” Even though he played in only 13 games last season for less than two minutes a contest, AJ continues to play and invest the time because he loves basketball and harbors a dream to one day become good enough to

contribute to the Wildcats in game situations. Patience is one of his many virtues. He went into this season just as he did his freshman year, knowing that most of his contributions will come in practice until he proves he’s capable of helping the team in games. That’s all right with him. He’s willing to work hard and earn his time. He’s not looking for any gifts. Atkinson played football and basketball as a youth, but basketball was his passion. He began playing the sport when he was five years old and stuck with it. What is it that he loves so much about the game? “I concentrate just on basketball when I’m on the court,” he says. “It’s a good way to escape from other issues. It just makes me feel better to play and compete.” Atkinson is what some coaches refer to as a “’Tweener,” meaning his size makes it hard to decide whether to play him inside or outside. No problem for AJ. He played all over the place in his freshman season, and in practice went against Davidson’s big men as well as the guards. He played guard his first two seasons in high school and was moved to the post for his senior season. “I’ve guarded players at just about every position on the court,” he says, modestly. “It never really mattered to me what position I played as long as I was out there.” Atkinson realizes that his best chance to win playing time rests with improving his defense and being able to stay in front of quick players. “I enjoy defense and want to become a better defensive player,” he says. “I have to concentrate on moving my feet.” Atkinson’s freshman season went about as he expected. “I knew I’d have to step up my game when I went on the court with these players,” he said. “It was tough but still a lot of fun. The players have been great and have helped me out a lot. I still love the game and the competition. If you really enjoy competing, there’s no telling what you can achieve.” Davidson is a deep team this season. Winning playing time will challenge Atkinson just as much as it did a year ago. But as long as he’s learning, competing, having fun and helping the Wildcats, Atkinson will be fine with it. He’s doing all of those things.

2008-09: Played in 20 contests, averaging 1.5 minutes an outing • Scored two points in three minutes against Guilford • Collected an offensive rebound against Wofford (1/14).

DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

BEN-EZE HAD TO TRAVEL MANY MILES TO GET A CHANCE TO PLAY ‘Big Frank’ has a big heart and has waited patiently for his chance to shine. DAVIDSON - Frank Ben-Eze deserves some good luck. More specifically, good health. He didn’t get to begin practice with Davidson his freshman year until after the season began, as he recovered from a knee surgery. Seven months of strenuous rehabilitation. It took a dedicated athlete to go through it. Many would have quit right then and there. Ben-Eze is not like most. He came back from the injury and found his game and his confidence late his freshman season, and in the conference tournament against College of Charleston, he demonstrated why he could be such a monumental force for the Wildcats. The Cougars brought the ball inside to their big men, and Ben-Eze Ben-Eze, playing in the middle of the Davidson defense, swatted their shots away time and again. Lo and behold, with Ben-Eze playing such dominating defense, and having so much fun doing it, he went down again, holding his knee, facing more knee surgery. It was a horrible dose of bad luck. Ben-Eze is a basketball player, a young man who loves the game, and the thoughts of having another long rehab got him down. Maybe for a day or two. But then he bounced back like he always does. The smile never left his face and the will to play never vacated his heart. “I am an aggressive person,” Ben-Eze says. “If I had grown up in America I think I would have been a football player, because I love contact.” Ben-Eze has the potential to give Davidson an inside defender and rebounder the likes of which the school has rarely had. He’s 6-10, and 230 pounds fit comfortably onto his lanky frame. His arms are long, his athletic skills are more than adequate … perfect for a shot-blocker. Throw in a huge portion of determination and you have the complete package. He’s a sophomore this year and hopes to be healthy enough to compete for a spot in Davidson’s big-man rotation early in the season. Ben-Eze came to the United States from Benin City, Nigeria, a similar path to that followed by former Wildcat Andrew Lovedale. Ben-Eze knew Lovedale from Benin City because they lived only about 10 minutes apart. They had lost contact with each other, but when Ben-Eze saw the Wildcats play on television en route to the NCAA Elite Eight, he kept thinking as he watched Lovedale, “Don’t I know him?” Then when Ben-Eze made his official visit to Davidson in May 2008, Lovedale walked from behind the corner of a building, the two

came face-to-face. Friends from Benin City. They embraced and Lovedale became his mentor. “Andrew was like a big brother to me,” Ben-Eze says. “He pushed me in the right direction and always gave me encouragement. I talk to him most weekends now, and he tells me that there will be ups and downs but to enjoy my career.” Ben-Eze has charisma that will help him become a leader on Davidson’s team. He’s a resounding hit when he visits high school campuses near Davidson and talks to students and emphasizes how important it is for them to get an education and walk a fine line. They listen to the big guy and then engage him in one-on-one conversations after his talk concludes. He has time and a smile for everybody and like his friend Lovedale, shares a belief that those fortunate in life should help those who aren’t. Ben-Eze knows adversity, knows it well, but now he’s ready to play some hoops. His injuries taught him the virtue of patience but did not dim his competitive fires. He loves to compete. “I grew up in an environment where you had to be tough,” he says, not bragging, just explaining. “My family and friends always cared for me, which gives me strength. I came here from thousands of miles away, so my drive is different.” Ben-Eze was a soccer player growing up in Benin City, a goalie and a midfielder. He was an excellent player. But from the moment he was introduced to basketball at age 15, he fell in love with it. It wasn’t easy for him to find a game in Benin City, however. Soccer is the sport of choice there, and since Ben-Eze wasn’t known in the tight basketball circles of the city, they invited him to sit and watch but not participate. Not good enough. All it did was fuel his desire to play. He looked until he found games elsewhere. What he found was taking place a long, long walk from his house. After school he made the trek, finally got his chance to play, and he was hooked. Couldn’t keep him away. “I wasn’t pushed into the game because I was tall,” he says. “I love the competition that basketball offers, the speed of the game, the contact.” He played as often as he could and became a better player, so much better that he was noticed by basketball people. He made new

friends that had played the sport for a long time and they told him if he developed certain moves and skills he could become a player. “It really drove me to become a good player,” Ben-Eze said. “Back home in Benin City, if you’re just learning the game, it’s hard to convince them to let you play.” Ben-Eze had to find his competition and his chance elsewhere. When his father, a military man, saw how determined his son was to play the sport, he scraped up the money – which was not easy – and sent him to his first basketball camp. Ben-Eze was impressive at camp, so much so that he was invited to other camps without charge. His basketball career was underway. He knew enough about the sport that certain things motivated him. “Michael Jordan was cut from his high school team,” Ben-Eze said, “and you see how he succeeded. It shows that if you put your heart into something, you have a chance to get it.” Following his dream, Ben-Eze came to the United States, to Arlington, Va., to play for coach Joe Wootten at Bishop O’Connell High School. College scouts noticed. He strongly considered Harvard, as well as Stanford and Georgia Tech. The visit to Davidson and words of heartfelt advice from his friend Andrew Lovedale directed him here. Ben-Eze played in 22 games for Davidson as a freshman. He blocked 10 shots, demonstrated his potential as a rebounder and defender. “I want the ball,” he says, “so I work hard to get it.” A coach’s dream, this big guy. His joy is rebounding, blocking shots, defending. He puts everything he has into each game, each practice. Goodness knows he understands that nothing is to be taken for granted. “Enjoy it,” his friend Lovedale advises. And his father, now retired from the military, long ago saw how much energy his son devoted to the sport, how much he loved it, and offered advice that resonates with BenEze each time he suits up. “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.” Short and sincere, and advice that Frank Ben-Eze carries in his heart as he builds a new life thousands of miles away from the loving father who gave it.

BOND HOPES TO GET IN THE FLOW AND BE LESS SELF CRITICAL Athletic sophomore hopes to put injuries behind and contribute on the court this season. DAVIDSON - Aaron Bond — a quiet, reflective young man — has experienced his share of trials and tribulations in his two years at Davidson. He had in-season shoulder surgery his first year, an operation on his right knee on New Year’s Eve of his second year. The setbacks frustrated him and made him impatient. He’s a basketball player – extraordinarily skilled – and he wanted to be on the court showing his stuff, helping the team, competing at his highest level. A redshirt sophomore, Bond played in only five games before being hurt as a freshman and just six games last year before again sidelined by injury. He’s played a Bond grand total of 37 minutes in 11 games over the span of two seasons. Not being healthy enough to participate and showcase his talents was a big-time bummer. Make no mistake about it. Bond has game. He can handle the rock, shoot it, and when healthy, his rare athleticism enables him to glide through the lane and towards the basket with the grace of a hawk circling mountain peaks at feeding time. Life’s lessons have been straightforward, to the extent that he travels a new path now, searching for patience as well as an important change in attitude. He understands now that beating up on himself, which he was prone to do, serves no useful purpose. “I’ve been frustrated because I couldn’t do certain things because of my injuries,” Bond said. “I have confidence in my ability to play. Always have. But I’m trying to keep my individual expectations in check now so I won’t be so self-critical.” Bond spent most of last summer in Davidson taking classes and working on his conditioning and basketball skills. He did his physical workouts without excessive pounding on his knees, giving them healing time. “I challenged myself,” he said, “and played against top competition. The workouts were good for me. I haven’t been healthy for a long time, so my goal is to stay patient and stay more in the moment.” Bond also keeps his team expectations under wraps, preferring not to get too far ahead of himself. Basketball season is a long one and it can’t be fast-forwarded from October to March by pressing a button. It’s a process, one step at a time. No shortcuts. “I’m not heaping big expectations on the team,” Bond said. “We must trust in each other, keep a sharp focus and develop physical and mental toughness. With Stephen 60

(Curry) gone our team will have different components. While I think the target will still be on our back in the Southern Conference, we’ll have different weapons that could make us even tougher to engage.” One can well understand why Bond has simplified his own basketball goals. His approach before his injuries was to get after it, throttle wide open. Injuries force an athlete to adjust. Bond has. He focuses on what coach Bob McKillop expects of him, letting it serve as his blueprint to get him in the flow of the game and keep him in it. A step at a time, maybe even baby steps. That’s where he finds himself at this point in his career. But if you place one feather on the scales each day, one day you’ll have a full pound. That is Bond’s approach. He’s tried the hurry-up approach. It didn’t work. Like the rest of his teammates Bond says the team’s trip to Italy last August served many positive purposes. “I had never been outside the country,” Bond said. “It was interesting to observe a different culture and the way the people approached life. It was very educational. We relied on each other over there a great deal, which was great for our team chemistry. I was relaxed and eager to play basketball.” He says that he was disappointed in parts of his game in Italy. But enough of that. He’s looking ahead, not back. Bond is confident that his playing time will increase substantially if he can get healthy and stay that way. He has the talent and skills to play both guard positions as well as small forward. Most people marvel at his offensive potential, but Coach McKillop believes that a healthy Bond could become a defensive stopper. Bond, 6-5, played primarily shooting guard his first two years in high school and mostly at the point his senior season. He says he enjoys both positions. Bond played with and against excellent competition in high school and in AAU ball. His AAU team included teammates such as Kevin Durant, the ex-Texas player who is now an NBA star, former Carolina point guard Tywon Lawson and former Georgetown giant Roy Hibbert. His high school team won conference championships his junior and senior seasons, so he knows a little bit about winning. Bond believes that there is plenty of basketball left in his future. His dream is to play pro-

fessionally once his Davidson career is over. There will, of course, come a day when basketball is over for him and he’s preparing for it. He’s created a college major that examines social justice movements in the United States, which falls under the category of Leading American Studies and involves many classes in religion, history and anthropology. Bond’s mission is to give back to society, especially to those who need it most. His parents showed him the path and his late grandmother, Pauline Grace Bond, shone a light that still burns brightly in his life. Bond says his grandmother “was the most important person in my life in terms of my faith. She taught me to have an uncompromising faith in God.” Bond dreams of one day going to a distressed area in an industrial city and building a community center that would serve children and adults and help them develop skills needed to survive in this competitive world. He wants to help the poor own homes as well as some overall equity in society. He hopes to weave his future ministry into all of this and make at least one tiny corner of the world a better place for people who might be low on hope and high on frustration. Low on hope and high on frustration? Bond’s basketball adversity will certainly help him navigate that journey. But part of that is past and another part lies in the future. Bond deals with the here and now, not so much with what lies ahead. It’s a new approach for him. Baby steps, one at a time and let them lead where they may. It’s not complicated but does call for discipline. As he strives to curb excessive expectations, he remains anxious to show what he can do on the court. Basketball is a beautiful game, maybe the most beautiful of all. It’s the ultimate team sport. There is a flow to the game that requires each player on the court to get into it. There’s a balance of defense and offense and teamwork that must be honored or else team and individual victories will be few and far between. Bond hopes to join the battle this season, be right there in the middle of it. Enjoying the good while knowing there will be some bad. That’s basketball. That’s life. “And I want to be a good listener,” he said. “I want to be real good at that.”

DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

REIGEL’S DAVIDSON ‘DREAM’ MIGHT BECOME EVEN MORE EXCITING Walk-on and son of former Wildcat tries to set the tone through defense and rebounding. DAVIDSON - It would be a mistake to dismiss Will Reigel’s chances. Sure, he’s a walkon on a Davidson basketball team that has played postseason basketball for five years in a row while dominating play in the tough Southern Conference. With the number of talented players on the 2009-10 Davidson team, he has a lot of ground to make up. Will Reigel’s a smart guy. He knows all that, and if it bothers him one iota, he masks it with a smile. The odds against him getting significant playing time might be considered substantial. That’s okay. Reigel is a Reigel competitor who has a fallback position just in case things don’t work out exactly as he would like. Reigel caught the eye of Davidson’s coaches when he played at a high level for the successful basketball team at Charlotte Latin High School. The Wildcats certainly had a recruiting advantage. Reigel’s father, Ernie, played basketball at Davidson from 1976-80. Will competed against former Davidson All-America Steph Curry in high school and harbored his own dream of one day playing for the Wildcats. When coach Bob McKillop offered him a chance to join the team as a walk-on, Reigel didn’t hesitate. “Yessir,” the conversation began and ended. Sometimes dreams do come true. Reigel’s game can best be described as unorthodox. He’s not the best shooter or ballhandler or defender on the court, but when you weave together all of his attributes – and throw in a mighty big measure of unselfishness — you end up with a winning player. He has an uncanny knack of making a pest out of himself, as far as opponents are concerned. He’s always around the ball, wiggles and worms his way through tight cracks to wrestle rebounds away from much taller players and stands ready to help a teammate in need. Reigel, 6-5, is a sophomore who spent most of last season working as a member of Davidson’s scout team. He found himself in practice going up against both guards and forwards. Backing down wasn’t part of his game. He admits to being nervous at the beginning of practice last season because all of it was so new to him. But he felt more comfortable and confident as the season wore on.

He played in 16 games for a total of 35 minutes, most of which came in a Davidson comeback win over West Virginia in storied Madison Square Garden. “I certainly didn’t expect to play much in that particular game,” Reigel recalls. But the way the game was going, Coach McKillop felt Davidson needed a boost from a tough, selfless defender. Reigel helped turn the tide in Davidson’s favor. “It was the first time I’d played guard all year.” “I enjoyed last year a lot,” Reigel says. “There was a lot of learning involved for me. My role was on the scout team in practice playing as hard as I could to make our starters better players. I pretty much knew I wasn’t going to be out there on game day, so I treated practice as my games. My favorite time was the day before games when I played the role of a certain player on the opposing team.” That was last year. He has higher expectations now. Nothing grandiose. He’s not looking for miracles. But he hopes he’s improved enough to convince coaches that he could help in games, even for only a few minutes at a time. “I feel like I’m a much better player than I was last year,” he says, not at all boasting. “I think I’m stronger and more athletic.” He also has some individual goals, two primarily. One, to play tough defense. Two, to rebound on every shot. You notice he chose goals that require great effort on every possession and totally unselfish play. That’s Will Reigel’s game in a nutshell. “It takes real effort to be a good rebounder,” Reigel says. “I want to rebound every shot. My goal is to get a 100 grade in rebounding. Even if I don’t end up getting the rebound, maybe I can do something to help a teammate get it. It takes talent and effort to play defense. I hope I can defend in a way that will help me get playing time for three to five minutes. But if it doesn’t work out that way, I’ll do whatever I can to help the team, just like I did last season.”

That’s his fallback plan, one that he hopes not to have to employ. Davidson’s coaches have worked with Reigel to change his shooting form. “They tightened the action on my jump shot and my foul shot,” he said. “I’m feeling more comfortable with my shot and gaining confidence that I can knock it down.” The team’s summer trip to Italy was a huge dividend for Reigel. He played about 10 minutes a game, got a good feel for Davidson’s offense while getting experience going against talented players. “We had good team chemistry before we took the trip,” he said, “but it became even stronger. It was a great experience for all of us learning how to play without Steph (Curry).” Although Reigel is predominantly righthanded, he shoots the basketball with his left hand. Left-handed basketball players are unorthodox and it often takes opponents some adjustments to guard them. Reigel will gladly take any edge he can get, no matter how small. Reigel sounds like a veteran when he talks about the Davidson team. “We have a ton of talent,” he said. “We have great leadership from our seniors. Steve Rossiter is definitely a guy I look up to. He doesn’t care about any individual statistics. He’s all about winning. He plays through injuries and fatigue.” Reigel’s goal for this year’s team? “Even without Steph I think teams are still going to be shooting for us, especially in the conference. My goal for the team is to win the Southern Conference championship and go back to the NCAA tournament and win as many games in that tournament as we can.” he said. Reigel’s contributions came mostly in practice last season. While that might well be the case again this season, don’t bet against him. He’s feeling it. And his determination has no limits, none whatsoever.

2008-09: Played in 16 contests, averaging 2.2 minutes a game • Played a career-high nine minutes and grabbed a rebound against West Virginia at the Jimmy V Classic in Madison Square Garden • Scored two points against James Madison in the NIT Season Tip-Off • Had two points and a steal vs. UNC Greensboro (2/25) • Followed that with two points and a rebound against Georgia Southern (2/28).

COCHRAN’S FIRST GOAL IS TO BE A GOOD TEAMMATE Another freshman from Champlain St. Lambert ready for the hard work, dedication and commitment at Davidson. DAVIDSON - Nik Cochran’s enrollment at Davidson keeps open the pipeline from Montreal to the small town in North Mecklenburg County. Cochran, 6-2, freshman, follows in the Davidson footsteps of former defensive ace Max Paulhus Gosselin and current star Will Archambault. The three of them played for coach John Dangelas at Champlain St. Lambert. Like Paulhus Gosselin and Archambault, Cochran made his own mark at Champlain St. Lambert. He averaged 23 points a game, four assists, three rebounds and two steals as a senior. His excellent play resulted in him being named a Quebec AllStar in 2009. Cochran didn’t see Paulhus Gosselin or Archambault play in high school, but he heard of them, knew of their outstanding basketball reputation. Cochran made his official visit to Davidson in October 2008. He watched the team practice, went out with the players, asked a lot of questions and did a lot of listening. Then he walked the campus which was dressed in autumn splendor. The visit, his last official college visit, was a smash hit. It’s hard not to like Davidson in the fall, real hard. The forest canopy on campus is ablaze with colors that are beyond the talents of even the greatest and most imaginative artist. It was also wise for Cochran to visit at a time that allowed him to watch basketball practice. The Wildcats under coach Bob McKillop work hard, extremely hard, and attention to detail is crucial. It’s a winning style but one that might not suit all prospects. Some high school players want to play college ball but prefer not to put so much hard work and dedication into the process. Better for both prospect and Davidson to know without a doubt if player and school is a good match. It’s important to know this before either makes a commitment. Cochran liked what he saw of Davidson’s practice. “There was a lot of teaching going on,” he said. “Things were broken down and explained, little things and big things. There was great intensity in practice and no wasted time. I saw how hard I’d have to work if I came here. It appealed to me because I want to be pushed.” Of course, he spent time with Paulhus Gosselin and Archambault on his visit. “They told me about the family atmosphere that prevails at Davidson,” he said, “and how hard the players work. But they said it all pays off in the end.” The record is there for Cochran to examine. It’s one of the great things about sports. We keep score

and wins and losses can be checked. It’s the original No Spin Zone. The Wildcats won 105 games during Paulhus Gosselin’s four-year career and qualified for postseason play each year. Pretty impressive record, especially when it’s examined by a high school prospect. It translates into something like this: “If you want to play March basketball, come to Davidson.” Cochran is an excellent athlete who has played basketball, soccer, ice hockey and baseball. He was a baseball shortstop, a midfielder in soccer and played left wing and center in ice hockey. He was good at all of them and enjoyed playing but began concentrating mostly on basketball in high school. Basketball is fun for him and people with knowledge of the sport told him that if he worked hard at it, he could have a basketball future beyond high school. It was an observation that was on target. Cochran is a mature young man who has decided to take a wait-and-see approach to his freshman season. Instead of coming in with rampant expectations, he prefers to stay in the present, not get too far ahead of himself. “Quite frankly, I don’t know what to expect,” he says candidly. “My plan is to keep an open mind, listen, work hard and be a good teammate.” Cochran says the style taught by coach John Dangelas at Champlain St. Lambert prepared him well for college basketball. “He’s mostly a man-to-man coach, even though we did play some zone at the end of last season,” Cochran said. “His style of coaching focused on our defensive play.” Cochran says he enjoys playing defense, which will come in handy at Davidson, where McKillop preaches and demands team defense. He can play both guard positions even though he prefers playing the point. High school basketball in Montreal follows the international rules of a wide 3-second lane as well as the 24-second shot clock. It promotes a fast-paced game which will also help Cochran as he adjusts to the attacking style of offense taught by McKillop at Davidson. Cochran was meticulous in making his college choice. Choosing a college to attend for four years was no slam dunk. Like we said, he’s a young man that keeps an open mind, and he did his due diligence. In addition to Davidson, he visited Eastern Kentucky and George Mason. Davidson was his last official visit, and he arrived thinking that he might not like going to a small school. It was one of the things he had to find out for himself. What he found at Davidson convinced him. “I saw that everyone on campus knew just about everyone else,” he said, “and the basketball players were treated like everybody else. The basketball players are not separate from the student body here,

Personal: Full name is Nikolas Cochran • Born May 6, 1988, in Vancouver, B.C. • The son of Liz and Doug Cochran• Has two siblings, Katie and Casey. and I like that.” And how about the small town of Davidson? Some even refer to it as a village. Was that a plus or a minus in his decision making process? “It’s a pretty place,” Cochran said. “The college is the center of the town, and the people that live here are big supporters of the college and the basketball program.” Coach McKillop says Cochran’s versatility will enable him to fight for playing time as a freshman. “He’s the third player we’ve had from the highlyacclaimed basketball program at Champlain St. Lambert in Montreal,” the coach said. “Nik gives us great versatility as a shooter and ballhandler. He will get the opportunity to fight for backcourt playing time.” Even though Cochran liked and played four sports, he began to get an inkling in sixth grade that he would like to play college basketball. Many young people have that goal, but it’s not an easy one to accomplish. Nik worked at it, dedicated himself to it, and dreamed of the day that he would take the court as a college player. The first part of the dream has come true. He suits up for the Wildcats as a freshman. Now he works on completing the dream. But slow down, first things first. He realizes it’ll be a process, a one-step-at-atime process. There’s no rushing it. His goal is to keep an open mind, to learn and get better each day. There are no guarantees for any college basketball freshman. None whatsoever. But Cochran is off to a good start. He’s reached stage one. His first personal goal – to be a good teammate – is one that every college coach would like for all of their freshmen to have. Cochran will work at that and see how the rest unfolds. He has time. As well as patience and determination.

BIG MAN COHEN HAS SKILLS TO HELP INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Versatile ‘gym rat’ likes the sense of community at Davidson. DAVIDSON - Basketball coaches dream about getting recruits that are honor roll students and also yearn to be great in basketball. Players like this are often described as gym rats, meaning they slip into the gym at every opportunity to practice their game. It’s possible to find them in the gym morning, noon and night. Literally. Stories are legendary how Michael Jordan would return from a college road game and slip into the gym and shoot until 3 o’clock in the morning. Now that’s a gym rat. By the way, it helps if such a prospect is 6-10 and was recruited by schools in the Pac-10, Big Ten and Ivy League. It helps a lot. This is a recruiting battle that Davidson won against heavyweights. Meet Jake Cohen, 6-10, Davidson College freshman from Berwyn, Pa. He averaged 17.6 points a game, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots as a senior at Conestoga High School while playing for coach Mike Troy. His recognition as a high school all-star is chronicled elsewhere on these pages. His resume stacks up with the best of them. What makes this story even more interesting for Davidson is that Cohen might have just scratched the surface of his vast basketball potential. He has a chance to be special. Cohen didn’t know much about Davidson until he saw them play in the NCAA tournament, the year they stole the nation’s heart by racing to the Elite Eight and taking eventual national champion Kansas down to the last second before losing by two points. He watched them in the ESPN BracketBuster game the next year. “I knew then that Davidson was a very good school that played basketball at a high level,” Cohen said. “That’s what I was looking for.” But deciding on a college wasn’t easy, not at all. Jake went about his college search with very few preconceived notions. He knew he wanted an excellent school that was also serious about being good in basketball. So his quest to find his college began close to home. Cohen could get to the Penn campus from his home in a matter of 30 minutes. He went to summer basketball camp on campus and strongly considered going there. Also, playing in the famous Palestra in Philadelphia, which Penn often does, appealed to him. He frequently went to football games at Penn State, also not far from home, and he considered it. Playing against Big Ten competition would be fun, he thought. He also looked closely at two Pac-10 schools, Stanford and California, two outstanding academic institutions that play against top-level competition.

Cohen had a lot on his plate. Much to consider. Recruiting is not a science. Many times it’s serendipity. For example, Cohen went to a large high school and the thought of going to a relatively small college, which Davidson is, appealed to him. He was impressed with his visit to Davidson. It went a long way in helping him make his decision. “I liked the sense of community that I found at Davidson,” Cohen said. “The players were great to me on my visit, couldn’t have been nicer. Davidson is a neat college town and basketball is very important to the people that live here. I liked the idea of going to a college where I would know most of the people on campus. Davidson met all these things.” Cohen, who had known for some time that he wanted to be a college basketball player, had found his college match. Davidson won out against some very imposing schools and programs. Chalk one up for the Wildcats. Interest in Cohen as a basketball player began to really take hold as he entered ninth grade. He had a whopping growth spurt. He was 6-2 in the eighth grade and 6-6 in the ninth. Made people take notice. Davidson was aided and abetted by the insistence by Cohen’s family that academics came first. Academics first, always. Basketball was important, but one day it would end and it would be time to pursue other things. In this global economy, earning a degree from a highly-acclaimed college should be a significant advantage when basketball is a memory. But make the memories special, right? Watching Davidson play on television, Cohen was impressed with how hard they played and how they played together as a team. He liked the unselfishness and the way the players seemed to get along. “I liked the style of their game,” he said. When he saw the Davidson players perform in person, he liked it even more. As a freshman, Cohen’s goals are not complicated or beyond reason. He wants to learn as much as he can. “I’m going to work hard and help the team in any way that I can,” he says. He’s not afraid of the competition, that’s for sure. His older brother Josh played football at Dartmouth, and the two of them went at it pretty good growing up. Jake took some whippings but never gave in to them. Toughened him up. The brothers competed in football, baseball and basketball in the backyard. It was good boot camp preparation for college ball. Jake gave up football and baseball after his freshman year of high school to concentrate on basketball. He continued to grow taller and found additional challenging competition when he began playing AAU ball after his 10th-grade year. He had two summers of AAU ball, and his team traveled all

They came to North Carolina and also went to New York, Las Vegas, Ohio, New Jersey and elsewhere. It was intense basketball and a lot of it. He thinks Davidson’s coaches first noticed him playing AAU ball. “We played a bunch of games, sometimes four days in a row,” Cohen says. “It certainly helped me improve as a player.” His versatility as a player excites Davidson’s coaching staff. He can go inside and bang with the big boys and get his shot or float outside and knock down perimeter shots. In fact, one of the things that drew him to Davidson was Coach McKillop’s playing style of sometimes letting the big men shoot from the top of the key. Coach McKillop says Cohen is “long, lanky and highly skilled. He has a superb shooting touch from inside and out to the 3-point line. His ability to score could be a big plus for our team and should help him get playing time early. He is a sponge as he soaks up knowledge about our system and what we expect from our players.” “I’ve dreamed of playing college basketball for a long time,” Cohen said. “I’m really looking forward to this season.” As he settled in on Davidson’s campus, started classes and basketball practice and was out on his own away from home, what did he find was his biggest adjustment? “Not having Mom’s home-cooked meals.”

DAVIDSON’S UNSELFISH WAY OF PLAYING IMPRESSED KUHLMAN Kuhlman’s high basketball IQ and versatility give him a chance to play significant minutes as a freshman. DAVIDSON - JP Kuhlman knows that as a freshman he has a lot to learn. There will be some frustrating moments when his confidence will be rattled, because the speed of the college game is vastly different from what he experienced in high school. Still, the young man from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., has a chance to be a special player for Davidson. He’s an exceptional shooter, a good ballhandler and has skills to play either point guard or shooting guard. He played mostly at point in high school and says it’s his favorite position. Kuhlman was a standout playing for coach Jim Martin at Providence School. He averaged 18.2 points a game as a senior along with 6.4 assists and 6.2 rebounds. He was selected to the Class 2A allstate team as a senior and made second-team allstate as a junior. His senior year’s team won 27 games, lost only two and achieved a Top-50 national ranking. His team won 52 games during his last two seasons at Providence School and lost only six. Kuhlman scored 1,264 points, which stands as a school record. He also holds career school records for 3-point shots made (232) and his eight 3-point baskets in one game is a single game record. Pretty good stuff, those numbers. But it wasn’t all basketball for him. He graduated in the top 5 in his class. He has four brothers and two sisters, and one brother, Patrick, plays at Belmont Abbey College, located about 35 miles south of Davidson. Patrick is a senior for the Crusaders. Kuhlman’s father, Peter, played college basketball at St. Leo’s. JP’s brother, Joseph, played basketball at Rollins College in Florida. The JP is an abbreviation for John Paul, named after the saintly Pope John Paul II. With the basketball genes in his family, he didn’t have to leave the yard growing up to encounter some good competition. He and his brothers competed hard and learned to play the game the right way. Kuhlman considered three schools seriously when it was his time to pick a college: Belmont, William & Mary and Davidson. Kuhlman first became aware of Davidson when he saw the Wildcats tangle with Ohio State in the

first round of the NCAA tournament in Dayton in 2006. The arena on the University of Dayton campus was packed with Ohio State fans, which was understandable since the Ohio State campus is close by. But a small band of Davidson fans pretty much took over the arena that day as Davidson led the Big Ten powerhouse at halftime and for much of the second half before losing, 70-62. Kuhlman also followed the Wildcats in their storybook dash to the Elite Eight in 2008. “I was impressed that a small school could beat Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin,” Kuhlman said. “That was exciting, and I was really impressed with Davidson’s style of play and how much they stuck together as a team throughout the tournament.” Davidson was Kuhlman’s last official visit. He came in August 2008. “I loved the campus from the first time I saw it,” he said. “There was a great atmosphere throughout the entire campus. I liked all of the coaches, and the players were the most welcoming of any school I visited. I prayed about it before I made a decision, but once I visited Davidson, I was pretty sure I would come here to school.” Kuhlman has made a comfortable adjustment to the academic demands of Davidson. “There’s a lot more reading, all of it is more time consuming than high school, but I can get it done.” Kuhlman’s high school featured small classes like the ones he’s found at Davidson, which appeals to him. But what are his personal basketball goals for his freshman season? “To do my best and help the team in whatever way that I can,” he said. “Our team has good chemistry and plays unselfishly,” JP said. “I hope that we realize as much success as possible. That’s my goal.” It didn’t take Kuhlman long in McKillop’s system to recognize that each possession in college basketball is important and should be treated in such a way. “We have to deal with more details in the college game than we did in high school,” JP said, “and you learn right away that each possession matters. The players are bigger, stronger and faster. Our practices are intense and good, very organized from drill to drill.” Kuhlman says the senior leadership on this year’s Davidson team is terrific. “All of the players, led by the seniors, make the

That’s the kind of atmosphere we have here.” Coach McKillop says of Kuhlman, “He knows how to play. His ability to shoot and handle the ball well will give him a chance to play significant minutes as a freshman. He can play on the ball and off the ball and has the versatility to play each of our three guard positions.” Kuhlman is excited about the season but tries his best to keep things in perspective. Being raised in a family where basketball is loved and respected, he knows the sport is a team game. That’s one of the things that attracted him to Davidson in the first place. Davidson plays team basketball. This story should turn out well for college and player. They seem to be a perfect fit.

IOWA STATE TRANSFER USES YEAR TO HELP TEAMMATES WHILE IMPROVING OWN SKILLS Big 12 transfer enjoying the tight-knit community and smaller class size at Davidson. DAVIDSON - Competitive athletes are not always the most patient people in the world, but Clint Mann has to wait his turn. Nothing he can do about it, so he is using the year to improve his basketball skills and help this year’s Davidson team be successful. Mann, 6-8, is a sophomore who by NCAA rules has to sit out this season after transferring to Davidson from Iowa State, where he played his freshman season for the Cyclones of the Big 12. After an outstanding career playing for coach Sean Reilly at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Kansas City, Mann signed to play with Iowa State after considering Iowa, Creighton, Loyola of Chicago and Davidson. Mann played sparingly for the Cyclones and in 18 games, averaged 0.7 points and 0.4 rebounds. “After deciding that I was going to transfer, I looked for a school where I could get a good education and still play competitive basketball,” Mann said. “My high school was the biggest in Kansas City, so when I looked at Davidson the student body enrollment appealed to me.” Mann found Davidson and Iowa State to be total opposites. Davidson is a small private school while Iowa State is state-supported with a student body population of approximately 25,000. “Most of my classes at Iowa State were held in lecture halls, and we had anywhere from 80 to 150 students in each class,” Mann said. “I’ve found the smaller classes at Davidson to be more engaging with more one-on-one give and take. I’ve enjoyed my time here.” This year is a challenge for Mann, though, and there’s no getting around it. Redshirt athletes do the same work in practice as their eligible teammates. They do the conditioning work or maybe even more and prepare for the games with the same diligence. But when the lights come on and the gym is packed on game night, they sit in street clothes and watch. Not a thing they can do at that point to help the team win. Mann knew what the situation would be like before he made the decision to transfer. “I realize the redshirt year is not easy,” he said, “but I am going to keep a positive attitude about it. The season might get long since I have no games to personally look forward to, but I’m going to do everything I can to help this year’s team succeed. Practice will be my games and going against our big men every day in practice is going to make me a better player.”

Mann hopes his practice work against the likes of Steve Rossiter and Ben Allison will also help them improve. He hopes to challenge them in practice enough to help them improve their skills. Both of them are certainly able to identify with Mann’s redshirt situation because they also sat out one season without playing in games. “A season is a long time,” Mann said, “and I plan to use it to improve my own game. I’ll definitely get better. I’ll have the entire year to learn our system and how to play best in it. I can make a lot of good things happen this season and expand my own skills.” What specific areas of his game does he want to improve? “I’ll work on my ballhandling, my jump hook, shooting better off the dribble, shooting on the move. I’ll become a better defensive player by practicing against our big guys. My adjustment to Davidson went well from the very start. The program has a family atmosphere, the environment is positive and the players are great to be around.” Mann has two brothers and they pounded on each other growing up like brothers usually do. One of his brothers played college basketball at William & Mary. Mann knew from an early age that basketball was his sport. “It’s the only one I played,” he said. “I wasn’t any good in the rest of them.” Mann says he had no favorite team growing up in Overland Park, Kan., where most of his friends either cheered for Kansas or Missouri, two Big 12 rivals. When it came time for him to choose a college, his mind was wide open. He had choices, picked Iowa State and it didn’t work out for him quite as well as he had hoped. It happens. So he transferred to Davidson. “I like Davidson a lot,” he said. “Things are going well academically. It’s a small town but everything you need is either here or just a few miles away, and Charlotte is only 20 minutes away. I feel the basketball we play here is suited to my style of play. We play fast, go up and down the court, but we do it under control. We have a system where the players are given a reasonable amount of freedom. I also like the team defensive concept that Coach McKillop teaches.” Mann prefers to play either small forward or power forward. He considers his basketball strengths to be rebounding, attacking the basket offensively and being active on both ends of the court. He came to Davidson late in the summer to scrimmage with his new teammates. By rule he was pro-

Coach McKillop says that Mann “is a top recruit from two years ago. He would make a significant impact on this year’s team if he were eligible. He will sit out this season, learn our system, further develop his skills and be prepared to help us next year.” Mann’s time will come. A redshirt season is a long one for a competitive athlete who likes mixing it up in games. But the year can turn out to be a valuable one in terms of personal improvement. That’s what Mann plans to make of his next year of hoops.

BOB M C KILLOP Davidson coach Bob McKillop gets on the bus like a general preparing to lead his troops into battle. He takes his seat on the front row to the right of the driver, and when he sits, it’s the signal for the driver to shut the door and get moving. This is the way it is for Davidson basketball on road trips. Bus leaves at 6:40. It’s best to be aboard by 6:30, because the Wildcats operate on MST – McKillop Standard Time. Once the bus rolls, silence prevails. It’s time to focus, reflect, get ready to play. As McKillop likes to say to his players at breakfast the morning of a road game, “It’s Game Day, baby!” This time things were different, significantly so. It was March 30, 2008, and while the calendar said it was spring, the brisk Michigan air said otherwise. It was cold and snow lay on the ground. The team bus was preparing to leave the Dearborn Inn and head over to Ford Field in Detroit, ordinarily a ride of 30 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. Not this day, though. A Detroit policeman stood next to the Davidson bus, and once the driver said, “We’re ready,” the officer barked his own orders. Five Detroit police cars sprung into action, emergency lights swirling and sirens blaring. Working with as much coordination as synchronized swimmers the officers raced down Oakwood Blvd., clearing a path for the bus by stopping traffic and shooing it aside. Police cars in front of the bus, beside it, behind it, one racing ahead to clear a path. The bus moved rapidly behind a flying wedge of black and whites. Down Oakwood Blvd. past the Ford plant to I-94, four lanes, traffic being whisked to a stop. The police caravan cleared the way for a high-speed transition to I-96 East and then onto Fisher Street past the beautiful St. John’s Episcopal church. A right onto Rush Street, a left on St. Automotive, a right on Beacon and finally down a ramp into the players’ entrance at Ford Field. The trip took 15 minutes. It was no ordinary trip from Dearborn into Detroit. It was more magic than routine. It was a ride that took the Wildcats to the site of the NCAA Elite Eight, the finals of the Midwest Regionals.

He recruits top-flight students for one of the country’s top liberal arts colleges and competes in the demanding Southern Conference along with a ridiculously tough non-conference schedule.” McKillop accepted the challenge of rebuilding Davidson basketball and became its head coach in 1989. He proceeded cautiously at first, as he learned to mesh what fit at Davidson with his personal philosophy. “Davidson is a special place, a unique place,” McKillop says. “In recruiting and staffing, we must have the right fit, otherwise it could lead to frustration and immediate failure.” Davidson has a special blend of academics, social life and athletics. Not all good players with excellent grades are a fit. McKillop’s ability to put the proper people in place has been a leading reason that he has succeeded at such a high level at Davidson. One of McKillop’s former Davidson players, Martin Ides, now in his seventh season of playing professional basketball

in Europe, says: “There are many things that set Coach McKillop apart from all the coaches I’ve had…However, what I appreciate most is what Coach calls our Davidson ‘basketball family.’ I stay in contact with many of our guys…I would love to be on an all-Davidson team again with Coach McKillop leading the way.” McKillop’s players talk about his leadership, teaching and confidence. “Coach McKillop is the best at preparing his team,” says Logan Kosmalski, who was an All-Southern Conference player in 2005 and now plays professionally in Germany. “His knowledge and attention to detail made us feel like we could win against any opponent.” Now 59 years old, McKillop loves history, politics, Italian cuisine, nice clothes, good books and movies that teach him life’s lessons.

does in the United States. He once dreamed of being a U.S. Senator from New York, a notion that has since subsided. His reading preferences lean toward history, politics, leadership, coaching stories and not much fiction. Four movies rank as his favorites: Life is Beautiful, Michael Collins, Godfather, and Schindler’s List. “Those movies teach great lessons about life, family, struggles and leadership,” he says. In his view, movies should do more than entertain; they should also teach life’s lessons. McKillop cherishes each moment and treats it as gold. Whether it’s on the bus with his team to a road game or waiting for a flight in an airport terminal, he always has work at hand. When a friend 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 20 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: 367233, the longest tenure of any Davidson basketball coach, more victories than any coach in school history, and his 209 Southern Conference wins — including three undefeated seasons in league play — are

from Davidson four years ago after playing for his father for four years and came back in the summer of 2008 to join the Davidson coaching staff as an assistant, and Brendan, 21, a junior on this year’s Davidson team. “Davidson College is a special place,” Coach McKillop says. “One reason our teams have been so united and close is because we reflect the total Davidson philosophy. Our players remain close long after they leave Davidson.” When McKillop thinks back to playing against Davidson in 1969, he reflects on the job Lefty Driesell did in putting the Wildcats in the nation’s Top-10 and twice taking them to the NCAA Elite Eight. “What Lefty Driesell and his players did is one of the greatest stories in college basketball history,” McKillop says. With Lefty in attendance for two of the NCAA Tournament games, the story was repeated by the 2008 Wildcats. Back to the Elite Eight, a ranking of ninth in the nation in the final 2008 college basketball poll, a two-time All-America selection and an NBA lottery pick, Stephen Curry. Davidson basketball returned to the “Broadway stage.” A great season that produced a pleasant, life-long memory, but it’s the past. That’s the way McKillop views it. He preaches to his players, “next play,” which means don’t dwell in the past, good or bad. For the 21st time at Davidson, the scoreboard for his program reads 0-0, ready to turn the page and start a new chapter. The dream is still alive, burning brightly.

Norman Shepard held coaching ranks at Davidson for 12 seasons while also assuming the position of athletic director. 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. He ranks third in career wins at Davidson and fourth in winning percentage.

Coming from the high school coaching ranks where his teams at Newport News posted a record of 64-6, including a 57game 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 Wildcats to six straight 20-win seasons, also a mark that has not been outdone.

As an assistant and player under Driesell, Terry Holland became the 13th Davidson head basketball coach. He continued where Driesell left off, leading the ’Cats to their third straight SoCon title 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 at Davidson and Virginia. He ranks second in winning percentage at Davidson with a .681 mark and is currently the athletic director at East Carolina.

JIM FOX 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 ninth year as a Davidson assistant, Fox has been on the bench as Davidson compiled an 173-72 overall record, 115-24 versus teams in the Southern Conference, won four conference tournament championships, played in four NCAA tournaments and two postseason NITs. “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 Jim Fox valuable member Assistant Coach of our staff.” Ninth Season Fox, a native of Levittown, N.Y., spent five years as associate 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 551 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’s father 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 threeyear starter at Davidson who graduated in 2006. 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. When McKillop offered Fox a job at Davidson, he quickly accepted. “I knew Coach McKillop as a person and 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.

LANDRY KOSMALSKI There’s nothing much about college basketball that Landry Kosmalski, the newest member of Davidson’s coaching staff, doesn’t enjoy. That includes recruiting, which bedevils some coaches. Even though it’s not an exact science at any college, recruiting is more complex at Davidson given the college’s rigorous academic standards. “The pool of prospects is smaller for us because of Davidson’s academic requirements,” Kosmalski says, “but I still enjoy it. I like meeting coaches and talking with them as well as evaluating players.” Nothing that Kosmalski encounters at Davidson should surprise him. He went through the recruiting experience himself as a Texas high school player and then enjoyed four Landry Kosmalski productive years at Assistant Coach Davidson playing Third Season for coach Bob McKillop. He averaged almost 13 points a game for his four-year career and eight rebounds. His 877 rebounds rank third on Davidson’s all-time list, and he stands 13th in career scoring with 1,438 points. McKillop says Kosmalski’s loyalty, passion for the game and talent for coaching make him a perfect fit for the Wildcats’ staff. He fills an opening which came about last spring when former associate head coach Matt Matheny was named head coach at Elon University. Kosmalski should step seamlessly into his coaching duties. He not only played for McKillop but coached under him at Davidson as an assistant from 2004-06. He is familiar with Davidson’s system, ranging from its motion offense to its carefully designed team defense to McKillop’s insistence on taking care of all details. “I know what the players are going through since I played in the system,” Kosmalski said. “It provides much freedom for the players as long as they get it from within the system. We recruit good students here who are also good players, and it’s fun to coach them.” Kosmalski brings vast experience to his new job. In addition to his playing and coaching experiences at Davidson, he played professional basketball in Europe for four years and was an assistant coach for a professional team in Sweden for one season, during which time he also served as head coach of the franchise’s developmental team. “I played for five different coaches in four years in Europe,” Kosmalski said. “They all 78

went about their jobs in different ways, and I learned from each of them.” Kosmalski found new learning streams when he took the dual position of head basketball coach and Dean of Students at The Webb School in Knoxville, Tenn. “Serving in the position of a head coach was a great experience for me,” Kosmalski said. “I wanted the experience of being a head coach and knew I probably wouldn’t get that opportunity in college for a long time. At The Webb School, I handled all of the details that fall on the shoulders of a head coach, such as planning practice and taking care of travel plans. It was valuable experience.” So was being Dean of Students. It wasn’t totally unlike coaching but was certainly different in many ways. Kosmalski found himself handling disciplinary cases. It emphasized the important of maintaining poise and not making rash decisions. “I learned to gather all of the facts and not to judge until all the facts were in,” he said. Kosmalski comes from a basketball family. His father, Len, played for the University of Tennessee from 1970-74 and his younger brother, Logan, played two years for Davidson after transferring from Baylor. Logan now plays professionally in Germany. Kosmalski thought for some time that he wanted to be a coach, but it became a certainty in his mind during his last year of playing professionally in France. Why coaching? “I like the commitment and enthusiasm that you find in college basketball,” he says. “Players that reach this level have worked hard for many years to get here. They’ve shown dedication and commitment, and they all want to be good players.” Davidson has an eclectic group of big men this year and Kosmalski will get a chance to help teach them within the framework of McKillop’s system. “Our players are good people, and they all want to learn,” Kosmalski said. “Coach Kosmalski played as a big guy in this program,” said Steve Rossiter, a senior leader on this year’s team. “He was on the staff here my first year at Davidson, and his experiences enable him to identify with what we’re going through as players and students.” Kosmalski is married to Lauren Santi, a former cheerleader at the University of Alabama who also worked for two years in Davidson’s office of sports information. They live in Davidson a short distance from the campus. Kosmalski’s commitment to coaching is so strong that he says he doubts that he could hold a regular job in another field. “We keep score in this profession,” he said. “When we go home after a game, there’s no doubting who won and who lost. I think I’d miss the competition too much to work in another field.”

Landry with his wife, Lauren.

MAT T M C KILLOP Matt McKillop is back chasing a dream that he set aside for a year or two. McKillop, now an assistant coach on his father’s staff at Davidson, always thought that he wanted to be a coach. Things changed somewhat, though, after McKillop and six other senior players graduated from Davidson in 2006. They won the Southern Conference championship and played Ohio State a close game in the first round of the NCAA tournament before losing. The senior class was extremely close so it was an emotional time for Matt McKillop when the season ended. Those seven guys would never again play together on the same team. Had to come to grips with it, but it took time. Unsure about a possible coaching Matt McKillop career, Matt McKilAssistant Coach lop accepted an Second Season offer to play professional basketball in the Czech Republic, an experience that wasn’t all that it might have been. Furthermore, he injured his knee and within three months returned home to have surgery. McKillop took a job with the NBA Charlotte Bobcats in marketing. It kept him close to basketball only in the sense that he worked for a basketball franchise. Marketing and coaching are light years different. He missed the direct contact with the sport and realized that he really did want to coach. He waited until Davidson’s season was over before talking to his father about it. Then he sent out job resumes to coaches, made phone calls, built contacts. Then he caught a break, a good one. Jason Zimmerman, a former Davidson player and assistant coach to Bob McKillop, was named head coach at Emory, a Division III program. Matt McKillop called to inquire about his chances of becoming his assistant coach. Things worked out and Zimmerman hired him. He and McKillop traveled far and wide talking to high school players with good academic standing to consider Emory. Division III offers no athletic scholarships, just financial aid based on need. It makes recruiting extremely dicey, especially at a prestigious

academic school such as Emory. You want a challenging coaching job? Try locating players that are talented enough to win at a competitive Division III program, who also are good students, and then tell them there are no athletic scholarships available. You’ll find out in a hurry if you really want to be a coach. Coach Zimmerman is special, though, and certainly has the talent, skills and determination to get the job done. It will take him some time, but he’ll do it. When Davidson made its remarkable run to the Elite Eight in 2008, Matt McKillop was present for the Southern Conference tournament, as well as the NCAA tournament games in Raleigh and Detroit. Davidson basketball was still an important part of his life, understandably so. When Tim Sweeney resigned from the Davidson staff to take another coaching job, Matt McKillop went through the process of applying for the position and was hired. Working for his father has taken very little adjustment, he believes. After all, he grew up with him in the same house talking basketball and reviewing strategy. He played for him for four years. He knows the system well and what his father expects. He’s quite familiar with assistant coaches Jim Fox and Landry Kosmalski, as well as one of his former teammates, Terrell Ivory, now Davidson’s director of basketball operations. The get acquainted period for Matt lasted all of about 15 minutes. He is involved in all aspects of the program: recruiting, editing tapes for scouting and teaching purposes, and in practice, he will scrimmage a lot with the scout squad when they go against players who get the bulk of Davidson’s playing time. Matt will push the regulars and challenge them to become better. “I love all aspects of coaching,” he says. “I didn’t know exactly how busy my father was and how many demands are made on his time. It’s amazing to me that he’s been able to handle that kind of schedule for so long.” Matt McKillop has seen the other side – life without basketball. Now that he’s back, he’s not worried about working long hours or the pressures that coaches face. “I’m doing something that I truly love at the place that I want to do it.” Who could ask for more than that?

TERRELL “ TI” IVORY Terrell Ivory experienced a little bit of everything during his four-year playing career at Davidson. Overall it was a great time, although he’s much fonder of some memories than others. His 2002 team won the Southern Conference championship and was sent to Albuquerque, N.M. to play to play fourth-seeded Ohio State in the NCAA tournament. Although a heavy underdog, the Wildcats outplayed Ohio State for 39 minutes before losing the game, 69-64. The next season didn’t end quite so well for Ivory and his teammates, but he learned that in college basketball, anything is possible. The Wildcats went 11-5 in the Southern Conference in 2003, and on March 1 in Belk Terrell “TI” Ivory Arena, closed out Dir. of Operations the regular season Second Season with an 84-49 shellacking of VMI. Five days later the two teams met again in Charleston in the SoCon tournament, and the Keydets won, 66-60. Therein rests the beauty of college basketball: exciting, unpredictable, never count an underdog out. Those elements and a deep love for the game have led Ivory into a career of coaching, with this being his second year on Davidson’s staff as director of basketball operations. “I am thrilled to be back,” Ivory says. “The coaches here knew that if a job opening occurred on staff and I had a chance to get it, I would probably take it.” The opening came after the 2007-08 season when Jeremy Henney returned to his native state of Indiana as head coach of a high school basketball program. Ivory, known to former teammates and friends as “T.I.,” didn’t know exactly what he wanted to do when he graduated from Davidson in the spring of 2004. He was sure, however, that basketball was still in his blood. He wasn’t ready to give it up. He went to Manchester, England, to play basketball for a year. “There’s nothing better than getting paid to play basketball,” Ivory says of the experience. Professional basketball teams in Europe don’t usually play but one game a week, so T.I. had plenty of time on his hands. He took the opportunity to spend two days a week

coaching basketball to high school students. He enjoyed the coaching experience so much that after one year in England, he returned to the United States to accept a job at Blair Academy, a New Jersey prep school. He interned there his first year, and the following two years, he was an assistant basketball coach and Algebra II teacher who lived in a campus dormitory. Joe Mantegna was head coach at Blair, and Ivory learned a good bit about running a program while working as his assistant coach. “He runs his program like a college program,” Ivory says. “I met a lot of college coaches who came to our campus looking at some of our players. Coach Mantegna worked hard to help his players get into good academic schools that played either Division I or Division III basketball.” Ivory must have learned his lessons well because at the end of the 2007-08 season, he was offered the head basketball coaching job at a prep school in New England. He declined in anticipation that a job opening might occur on the Davidson staff for which he could apply. When Henney left for Indiana, Ivory found himself on his way back to Davidson. Welcome home. He grew up in Huntersville, played high school ball at North Mecklenburg High School, spent four years playing with the Wildcats where he was popular with his teammates, coaches and the fans that follow Davidson basketball. “It’s an unbelievably great feeling to be back at Davidson and working with the coaches and players in this program,” Ivory said. “I knew the job would entail a lot of work, but I was still surprised by just how much work. But I’m not complaining, because this is a wonderful opportunity for me.” Ivory said that even though he and his Davidson teammates worked hard, he was nonetheless taken aback by just how hard the current players work and how dedicated and committed they are. “I don’t think many people understand how good the kids in this program are or how hard they work,” he said. “These players are always in the gym and are completely committed to getting better. They certainly deserved all the good things that came their way the last few seasons.” Is Ivory happy that he made the career decision to become a coach? “Absolutely, I am,” he replied. “I want to be a head coach in college eventually, and there’s no place better to learn than right here.”

DAVIDSON RADIO NET WORK Veteran broadcast journalist John Kilgo will be the radio play-by-play voice for Davidson for the 10th straight season. Although Kilgo graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1957, his roots to Davidson College go back to July 1966, when former college president Grier Martin convinced him to leave a job as columnist for The Charlotte News to become the first fulltime sports information director for the Wildcats. It was an exciting time to be around Davidson’s athletic department as Lefty Driesell built a national powerhouse in basketball and Homer Smith took the school’s football team to the Tangerine Bowl to play Vanderbilt. After working for Davidson, Kilgo returned to Charlotte to become news and sports director for Big WAYS Radio, the first true Top-40 radio station in the Carolinas and the top-rated station in Charlotte. In his 18 years there and in addition to his radio responsibilities, Kilgo started a chain of eight weekly newspapers that served Charlotte and surrounding areas, including North Mecklenburg. While at Big WAYS, Kilgo was the play-by-play man for UNC Charlotte’s basketball games for seven seasons, including the school’s run to the NIT finals in 1976 and the Final Four in 1977. Kilgo moved across Charlotte to rival broadcaster JeffersonPilot in 1984, where he eventually became general manager of WBT Radio as well as general manager of J-P Sports Enterprises. One of his roles at J-P was to produce the weekly television show for former UNC basketball coach Dean Smith and to conduct Smith’s weekly call-in radio show that was heard on more than 50 stations. Kilgo co-authored Smith’s memoirs, A Coach’s Life, which was published by Random House and became a national bestseller. He and Smith later did a second book, The Carolina Way, which was published by Penguin Press. Kilgo lives in Davidson and continues his writing from his home office. His expertise has been invaluable in the production of recent Davidson media guides, including the 2009-10 version. He has written and edited almost all of the copy you are enjoying. Joining Kilgo for his second season will be Ken Hall, a former manager for the men’s basketball team. Hall began his broadcasting career with the Davidson men’s basketball team last season and provided color analysis for Davidson football games this season.

100 YEARS OF HOOPS dRiesell, MCkilloP eRas hiGhliGhT hisToRy of davidson baskeTball Each man who ever wore the uniform of Davidson basketball, and each coach who ever sat on the bench to direct the Wildcats, deserves recognition and honor. That stipulation is made here at the top, at the very beginning. Norman Shepard, for instance, coached Davidson for 12 seasons, from 1938 to 1949, and produced teams that won 19 games in two seasons, 18 games in two seasons and 17 games once. Tom Scott coached the Wildcats for five seasons, and while his record was not spectacular, he was considered one of the most influential athletic directors in America, and it was he who hired Lefty Driesell, an obscure high school coach, to succeed him as Davidson's head coach. Talk about good executive decisions! Terry Holland, Driesell’s first Davidson recruit, coached the Wildcats for five seasons, had a record of 92-43 and won one Southern Conference championship. Many other former coaches made major contributions in their own ways. Countless players made headlines for their excellent play and brought glory to

the red and black. Space limitations, of course, prevent us from detailing all the achievements of so many. Any objective evaluation of men’s basketball at Davidson would likely come to the conclusion that two men and two coaching eras stand out as the crowning achievements of Davidson basketball. Charles G. (Lefty) Driesell, Davidson's coach for nine glorious seasons, is one. Bob McKillop, in his 21st season as head coach of the Wildcats, is the other. Driesell took over the Davidson program from Dr. Scott in 1960-61. Never one to tread lightly entering a room, Driesell’s Wildcats shocked powerful Wake Forest 65-59 in the first game he ever coached at Davidson. Driesell didn’t come to Davidson to win every now and then or to pull an upset occasionally. His mission - and it was a mission - was to have the best program in the country. To accomplish that, he knew he’d have to hit the road and recruit players who could compete at the highest level of college basketball while meeting the rigorous academic standards

of Davidson. That would have been enough to discourage most people, but Driesell had many doors slammed in his face in his days as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman. There was always another door to knock on, another presentation to make, and the answer might be yes this time. Play the percentages, Lefty thought then. Knock on enough doors and somebody is going to buy a set of books. It’s the same philosophy he followed later in recruiting. There was another roadblock, a rather serious one. Davidson's basketball recruiting budget for the entire year was a whopping $500. That didn’t deter Driesell either. Made him a little bit angry but didn’t stall him. Here’s one way he overcame it. The athletic department had a green Chevrolet station wagon. Driesell packed his personal belongings, drove it to an airport in Ohio, parked in the terminal lot and slept in the vehicle overnight. The next morning he went to the airport restroom and shaved, changed clothes and met the parents of high school star Don Davidson at one of the terminal gates. They didn’t know until much later that he didn’t fly in. Driesell knew that coaches from North Carolina and Duke wouldn’t have to drive that far on a recruiting trip, and he wasn't going to give them an inch. Driesell proved to be one of the best recruiters ever. He brought the likes of Fred Hetzel, Dick Snyder, Mike Maloy, Jerry Kroll, Doug Cook, Barry Teague, Rodney Knowles, Don Davidson and countless others to Davidson. Most Davidson basketball historians would likely say that the best player in Davidson history is Hetzel, Snyder or Maloy, take your pick. Once he assembled the talent, Driesell coached them to play tough man defense, rebound and take good shots. He won 176 games at Davidson and lost only 65. His teams won three Southern Conference tournament championships, played in three NCAA tournaments and missed on at least two more they should have made. For instance, in 1963-64, the 22-4 Wildcats lost in the SoCon tournament in Charlotte to VMI, 82-81. The teams had played twice in the regular season, with 97

Lefty Driesell’s determination and creativity in recruiting helped him sign high school stars like Don Davidson.

Davidson winning by 12 and 38 points. There was no comparison between the two teams, but that’s tournament basketball. The best team loses sometimes. Fans enjoy watching it for the same reason they pull over to the side of the road to get a better view of a train wreck. Davidson’s 24-2 team of 1964-65, which Driesell said was one of his best, had won 23 games in a row when they were beaten in overtime by West Virginia in the SoCon tournament. Davidson didn’t get a chance to play in the national tournament because of that loss. “That team would have been a serious contender for the national championship,” Lefty says, still smarting from the loss that ended his season. Driesell’s last two Davidson teams got within a breath of making the Final Four. The 1967-68 team was 24-5, defeated St. John’s and Columbia in the NCAA tournament before losing to North Carolina. In Driesell’s last season at Davidson, the Wildcats were 27-3, ranked third in the nation in the last national poll and beat Villanova and St. John’s in the NCAA tournament. Davidson was one win away from the Final Four, but a two-point loss to nemesis North Carolina ended its season. The Driesell era saw the Wildcats playing before capacity crowds of 11,666 fans 98

at the old Charlotte Coliseum. The excitement of having such a great basketball program flowed across the campus like rampaging rapids, all the time enhancing the spirits and morale of students, alumni and friends of the college. Driesell’s Wildcats were featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated and other national publications, and the widespread publicity dramatically increased the number of student applications to Davidson. Driesell’s goal was to play the best and beat them. He broke a long Ohio State home winning streak by routing the Buckeyes, 95-73. It was televised back to the Charlotte area and helped create even more excitement about Lefty and his team. The 1965 team beat Wake Forest, Ohio State, Virginia, Alabama and NYU. The Driesell Era is known as “The Glory Years.” Driesell and his players made a mark that will stand out as long as the sport is played at Davidson. It’s no exaggeration to say that Lefty's miracle at Davidson is one of the greatest achievements in college basketball history. Times change, of course. Rules are different, the environment changes. Bob McKillop faces obstacles today that weren't there 35 years ago. Recruiting, for example, has changed completely. While it used to be possible by hard work to whisk away star players that many

schools didn't know about, there’s no way to do it now. There are more recruiting services than there are fleas on a hound dog. Young players are ranked and written about from the time they enter junior high school. There are very few recruiting secrets out there. In fact, recruiting is a sport unto itself. There is no shortage whatsoever of recruiting nuts. They are in ample supply. McKillop’s tenure at Davidson, still ongoing, has produced a record of 367 wins, 233 losses. He’s won more games than any basketball coach in Davidson history. His teams have won five SoCon tournament championships, dominated league play in the regular season and participated in five NCAA tournaments, advancing to the Elite Eight in 2008. McKillop has been Southern Conference coach of the year seven times, and his 212 wins against SoCon teams are the most by any coach ever. The consistency that he brings to his program is extraordinary. His brilliance in winning in conference play has made the Wildcats the one team in the league that wears a bull’s-eye on its chest. If they would be honest about it, nearly every school in the SoCon would list Davidson as its number one rival. To win in this environment, where every road game is a festival, through thick and thin, in good

They not only look for players with good basketball talent and excellent grades, but also for young men who will fit in well with the players already in the Davidson program. If a player had scintillating basketball skills but showed traits of being selfish or unconcerned about others, he wouldn’t end up at Davidson. McKillop doesn’t recruit problems. Talk to the young men in Davidson's program now, ask them why they came to Davidson, and to the man, they will mention McKillop’s honesty in recruiting as one of their major reasons for coming.

2009 NIT TEAM The ‘season afTeR’ PRoduCed 27 Wins, beRTh in niT Expectations for the 2008-09 Davidson basketball team ricocheted wildly in the months preceding the season. Even before the village celebrated Independence Day, townsfolk gathered on the brick sidewalks downtown to talk basketball, wondering if this would be the year that the Wildcats made it to the NCAA Final Four. No dream was considered too big, not even a national championship. The players heard all of the talk and prognostications, of course they did. Newspaper reporters converged on Davidson during the summer to tell the story of how basketball had taken over the village. Realism was lost in a flood of wistfulness. Message boards went nuts, but there’s no news in that, is there? The school upgraded its basketball arena with new scoreboards and handsome seatbacks. Fans called the ticket office in early summer making sure that their season tickets were secure. The arena sold out. This onslaught of enthusiasm, of course, was a leftover from the season before when Davidson dominated the Southern Conference and went into the NCAA tournament and beat favored teams Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin.

The 2008-09 Wildcats won the Southern Conference regular-season title, finishing first in the South Division for the fourth time in five years. Davidson made its fifth consecutive postseason appearance and defeated South Carolina in the NIT.

Curry, whose marksmanship from deep beyond the arc, endless charisma and the unabashed joy he displayed in playing the game suddenly made Davidson America’s team. The ‘Cats made the Final Eight in 2008 and a squadron of police cars escorted the team bus from its Dearborn hotel to Ford Field, where 57,500 fans and millions more on television watched Davidson and Kansas duel to the last second. It was only when Jason Richards’ shot caromed off the left of the rim at the final buzzer that the issue was decided. Davidson lost by two points to the eventual national champions. While Davidson lost three valuable seniors from that dream team (Richards, Thomas Sander and Boris Meno), Curry was back with a supporting cast that was more than capable. Davidson had basketball fever and there was no vaccine to slow it. Some of the fan buzz was crazy. One woman, a staunch friend of the program, stopped a writer on a fall morning before the season began and forecast: “I don’t think any team will come within 20 points of us.” Respite for the players came when the season finally started. Their sanctuary was the court. They had been hugged and praised and applauded until they were slap worn out. They kept it in perspective, but who among us doesn’t like to believe the good things said about us? It’s hard to keep an even keel under those circumstances.

Curry and the Wildcats took the challenge and slapped it in the face. They won 20 of their first 23 games, roared to 13 straight wins in the conference. The three losses were at Oklahoma, at Duke and to Purdue in Indianapolis. The first tear in Superman’s cape came on Feb. 7, 2009, in Davidson. College of Charleston, behind Antwaine Wiggins’ brilliant defense against Curry, upset the Wildcats 77-75. It was Davidson’s first conference loss in 43 games. Curry came open just beyond the 3-point arc on the right wing with two seconds remaining, poised to take the game-winning shot, but Wiggins somehow recovered and as Curry launched the ball, Wiggins reached from behind and blocked it cleanly. Davidson finished the regular season 182 in the conference, 25-6 overall, and defeated Appalachian State in the first round of the SoCon tournament in Chattanooga behind 43 points from Curry, which tied for the third-most in tourney history. It set up the rubber match in the semifinals between the Wildcats and College of Charleston. In a choppy offensive game, Davidson built a 12-point lead in the first half and led by 2920 at halftime. Its defense held C of C to 21 percent shooting from the field in the first 20 minutes. Second half was a different story. College of Charleston took a one-point lead with 14:49 to play and never lost it. The Wildcats

The headline of the game, which ESPN snatched up to show nationally, was a shootout between Davidson’s Curry and Saint Mary’s star guard Patrick Mills. Attendance for the game was announced at 3,500. Every inch of standing room in the old building was taken. When asked if the atmosphere was similar to when conference rival Gonzaga comes to town, the locals replied it was more raucous for the Wildcats. The crowd was uproarious the entire evening, and the shootout came as advertised with Saint Mary’s leading 36-33 at halftime. Davidson’s biggest lead of the half was five points, while Saint Mary’s built its biggest lead at 21-14. Saint Mary’s broke a tie with 17:52 to play in the second half and never lost the lead the rest of the way, winning 8068. Mills scored 23 points and had 10 assists while Curry, in what turned out to be his last Davidson game, scored 26 points, and had nine rebounds and five assists. Both Mills and Curry would enter the draft with Curry going seventh overall to Golden State and Mills taken in the second round by Portland. It was also the last game for Davidson seniors Andrew Lovedale, Max Paulhus Gosselin and Can Civi. Their class won 105 games in four years, lost only 31, went to the postseason each year and will have the lifetime memory of the journey that took them to the Elite Eight. The 2009 Davidson team won 27 games, lost eight and won the regular-season SoCon title, as the college made its fifth consecutive trip to basketball’s postseason. That hardly falls into the category of a disappointing season, even though it must be told that the Wildcats expected more. It’s an indication of how far the program has Stephen Curry scored 32 points against the Gamecocks to set up the advanced.

The Wildcats accepted a bid to the NIT and a first-round date at South Carolina of the Southeastern Conference. Davidson took the fight to the favored Gamecocks from the get-go and built an 11-point lead midway through the first half only to see the margin reduced to two points at halftime. The second half showed much more offense on the part of both teams. Davidson led the entire half except for 30 seconds when South Carolina took a one-point cushion. The Wildcats held South Carolina star guard Devan Downey to 5-of-14 from the field while Curry scorched the nets for 32, as Davidson advanced, 70-63. Impressive road win against a good team that tied for first in the East Division of the Southeastern Conference. The reward was a trip to Moraga, Calif., and a game with Saint Mary’s of

second-round contest against Mills and Saint Mary’s.

2008 NCAA TEAM WildC aTs defeaT ThRee GianTs en RouTe To beRTh in eliTe eiGhT Jason Richards, Davidson’s outstanding senior point guard for 2007-08, was emphatic when he talked about team goals before the start of a rugged non-conference schedule. “We want to go back to the NCAA tournament,” he said, “but going back to play just one game would be a disappointing end to my Davidson career. We’ve been to the tournament two years in a row. We’ve experienced that. Now we want to return and win some games.” Coach Bob McKillop took steps to prepare his team for that dream by scheduling outside opponents that included North Carolina, Duke, UCLA and NC State. Davidson wanted to test itself against the best, knowing that playing those teams would expose any weaknesses and give them a chance to correct them before tournament time. It’s not a strategy that’s recommended if the goal is merely to impress outsiders by the number of wins and losses. But if the goal is to get better – and that was Davidson’s mission from Day One – then the challenging schedule made sense. After cruising past Division III opponent Emory 102-56, the Wildcats went to downtown Charlotte and Bobcats Arena to take on No. 1 North Carolina. A full house showed up for the game — 19,299 — fairly equally split between those wearing Davidson red and black and Carolina blue. The atmosphere of the game was electric: great crowd, intense competition, close game that

Jason Richards tied an NCAA Tourney regional semiﬁnal record with 13 assists against Wisconsin.

raged back and forth. Davidson’s last lead came with 6:40 to play when Stephen Curry hit a 3-point basket to put the ‘Cats up 5756. The Tar Heels found themselves hanging on to win 72-68. While the loss was disappointing, the Wildcats showed they could compete against the nation’s best. It was a valuable lesson that would come in handy in March. The next six games served as a rollercoaster ride for the Wildcats. Davidson traveled to Kalamazoo, Mich., and lost to Western Michigan 83-76 while allowing the home team to shoot 59.1 percent from the field. Practice the next day – on Thanksgiving morning – was intense. If the Wildcats were going to be special, performances like that one couldn’t occur. Lessons had to be learned. Davidson routed North Carolina Central, won by 11 in its conference opener at Appalachian State with Curry scoring 38, and then lost back-to-back games against Duke and Charlotte. Davidson was competitive against Duke, losing by six, but not very good in a seven-point loss to Charlotte. The Wildcats went to California on Dec. 8 to play mighty UCLA. Davidson led by 17 – 32-15 – with 7:48 left in the first half. The crowd in Anaheim was stunned. But the Bruins fought back to cut the deficit to four at halftime en route to a 75-63 win. Another scrappy effort against a powerhouse team – but also another loss. After beating Citadel by 21, Davidson

traveled to the RBC Center in Raleigh to take on NC State. Curry hit a 3-pointer with 43 seconds to play to give Davidson a 65-64 lead. NCSU’s Ben McCauley shot and missed, but his teammate Gavin Grant came down with the rebound and was fouled with three seconds to play. Grant made two free throws, and Davidson missed at the buzzer to take a one-point loss and a 4-6 record with them into the Christmas holidays. It was a keen disappointment, coming so close and yet losing to another widely known team. But playing in the RBC Center would eventually help Davidson. Stay tuned for that development. Davidson began a run of 16 consecutive Southern Conference games on Jan. 3 with a smashing 92-67 win over Georgia Southern. The Wildcats won all 16 of those games, most of them by wide margins. The exception was a 59-57 win at Elon in a game that it appeared the Wildcats would lose. Davidson rode the winning streak into the ESPN BracketBusters game at Winthrop. Davidson won that one by 13 and returned to conference play where it ended regularseason play with a home win over Appalachian State and a 20-point road win on Senior Night at Georgia Southern. The Wildcats took a 19-game winning streak into the Southern Conference tournament in Charleston where they had to prove themselves all over again to be sure of a bid to the NCAA tournament. They proved themselves, all right. They

2008 NCAA TEAM beat Wofford 82-49, UNC-Greensboro 82-52 and knocked out Elon in the championship game 65-49. Their NCAA tournament ticket was punched for the third consecutive year. But would this trip be different? A crowd of students and friends of the college gathered in the Student Union late on a Sunday afternoon to hear the pairings for the tournament. Davidson was seeded 10th and would play 7thseeded Gonzaga in Raleigh’s RBC Center in the first round. A roar went up in the Davidson union when the Davidson road map was announced. Davidson was a determined team heading into the tournament. They certainly caught a break by getting to play in Raleigh, but Gonzaga was the regular season West Coast Conference champions and brought a record of 25-7 to Raleigh. Playing on the road would not intimidate them. Meanwhile, the Wildcats had a 22-game winning streak and were feeling pretty good. With a partisan crowd of 19,722 pulling for them in Raleigh, Davidson saw Gonzaga lead 28-17 with 8:17 to play in the first half and by 41-36 at halftime. The Zags continued to dominate seven minutes into the second half with a 58-48 advantage. But then the game began to turn Davidson’s way. The closer the Wildcats came, the louder the crowd. A Curry 3-pointer tied the game at 62 with 9:46 to play. The two teams swapped leads until Davidson got the ball with just over a minute to play. Max Paulhus Gosselin, who played a terrific game, missed a 3point attempt, and as the ball headed towards the right corner of the court and appeared to be going out of bounds, Andrew Lovedale raced from the free throw line to the corner, grabbed the ball inches before it went out of bounds, turned and passed to Curry who hit a 3-pointer for a 77-74 Davidson lead. The Wildcats never trailed again and won 82-76. Curry had 40 points, 30 in the second half. Lovedale captured 13 rebounds, and Richards recorded nine assists. It was Davidson’s first NCAA tournament win since 1969 and set up a showdown with the second-seed from the Midwest Regional, Georgetown. The Hoyas were big, athletic, won the Big

East regular season title, ranked No. 8 in the nation, No. 1 in the nation in field goal percentage defense and No. 5 in scoring defense. As the two teams lined up facing each other on the court as the national anthem played, Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing, 69, reached over and pounded the chest of 7-2 teammate Roy Hibbert and said something to him. The favored Hoyas were ready – but so was Davidson. The Wildcats had played UNC, Duke, UCLA. They weren’t intimidated by Georgetown. The Hoyas had quick athletes who could defend, and they made life miserable for Curry in the first half and led 3827 at the break. Lefty Driesell, the former Davidson coach, appeared on the school’s radio network at half and said, “Curry’s going to have to get more shots in the second half, but this game isn’t lost. Davidson can come back and win it.” It certainly didn’t look that way early in the second half, as Georgetown roared to a 46-29 lead with 17:52 to play. Then the game turned, almost dramatically so. Down by 16, the Wildcats went on a 7-0 run. Then down by 11, the ‘Cats scored nine in a row to make it a 50-48 game with 8:45 to play. You could see it in the faces of Georgetown’s players: they had a feisty opponent that was not going to be knocked out. Paulhus Gosselin tied the game at 57 with 5:06 to play, and once again, the RBC Center crowd roared its support of the underdog Wildcats. When Curry hit a tough layup and then the ensuing foul shot with 4:35 to play to give Davidson a 60-58 lead, their first in the game since the score was 11-9. Once down by 17 in the second half, McKillop’s team suddenly led by two. Davidson never trailed again and defeated the Hoyas 74-70 to earn a spot in the Sweet 16 and a trip to Detroit to play in massive Ford Field, home of the NFL Detroit Lions. Next up: Big Ten regular-season and tournament champion Wisconsin, with 31 wins, the most in school history. The Badgers were giving up only 53.9 points a game, which led the nation in scoring defense. The Wildcats were riding a 24game winning streak. Something would

2008 NCAA TEAM have to give. Someone would have to blink. Davidson belonged on this stage and knew it. Please, don’t call them Cinderella. With more than 57,000 fans in attendance at Ford Field, including Cleveland Cavaliers great LeBron James who wanted to see Curry play in person, the Wildcats and Badgers traded punches in the first half and went to the locker rooms tied at 36. Davidson owned the second half – lock, stock and barrel. Richards hit a 3pointer with 12:13 to play to put Davidson up 57-45. Curry’s layup with 9:07 left gave Davidson a 63-46 lead. This was Davidson’s game, pure and simple. The Wildcats were better than the Big Ten champions and no one who saw the game would dare dispute it. Curry continued his scoring rampage with 33 points. Lovedale had 12 points, and the poised Richards had 13 assists and no turnovers in a spectacular performance. Final score: Davidson 73 Wisconsin 56. The Wildcats won the second half by a whopping 17 points to earn a spot in the Elite Eight against the Kansas Jayhawks, the tournament champions of the tough Big 12. Kansas coach Bill Self had never taken a team to the Final Four, and a lot of fans

and media people in his own state reminded him of it. Davidson was looking to go to the Final Four for the first time in school history. So much was at stake. The game was as close as pages in a book. The biggest lead by either team in the first half was four points with seven ties. The Jayhawks sprinted off the court at halftime with a 30-28 lead, but this was anybody’s game. It had the smell of a game that was going down to the last second. Kansas took its biggest lead of the second half with 12:11 to play at 43-37. But then Bryant Barr came off Davidson’s bench and thrilled most of the crowd of 57,563 by making three 3-point field goals in two minutes to give Davidson a 49-45 lead with 9:33 to play. Kansas had talent and determination, too, and pushed to a 59-53 lead with 1:15 to play. Davidson’s Thomas Sander, who was playing with a painful injury to the thumb on his shooting hand, made a free throw, and when he missed the second Davidson rebounded and Richards passed to Curry for a 3-pointer to make it 59-57 with 55 seconds to play. Kansas ran some clock on its next possession but when Sherron Collins missed a 3-pointer, Davidson rebounded and took timeout with 17 seconds to play. Coach McKillop put the ball in the hands of Curry in the backcourt and when Curry got to the frontcourt, Kansas jumped him with a double team. With the clock winding down and no cracks open to get off a shot himself, Curry passed to Richards who took a long, contested shot that missed at the buzzer. Missed left, but just barely. Kansas won 59-57 and went on to win the national championship. The Wildcats covered themselves with glory, won the hearts of basketball fans from coast to coast, and finished the season with 29 wins and seven losses. Richards got his preseason wish. A return to the NCAA tournament and some huge victories on the game’s biggest stage. And all of those people who once had to ask where Davidson was located? After the tournament, they didn’t need to ask anymore. They knew the answer.

Thomas Sander posted eight points and four boards against Kansas in the regional ﬁnal.

2007 NCAA TEAM suRPRisinG ‘C aTs sC aRe MaRyland The day after Davidson was picked to finish fourth in the SoCon South Division 2006-07 preseason poll, coach Bob McKillop walked among his players as they were stretching on the court before the start of practice. “Fourth in the South Division,” he exclaimed, loud enough for all of the players to hear. “How does that make you feel? You proud of that? They picked you fourth in the division.” As preseason predictions go, this one really wasn’t that unreasonable. Davidson had graduated seven seniors from the conference championship team of 2006. Not just seven ordinary seniors, either, but players that comprised most of Davidson’s scoring, rebounding, passing and ballhandling, as well as its best defenders. Davidson's leadership and experience walked down the aisle in caps and gowns the previous May to get their diplomas. Like it or not, 2006-07 was rebuilding time for the Wildcats. When you’re used to winning, as Davidson is, rebuilding is not synonymous with failure - or defeat. Especially not with Bob McKillop. He had warned his players at the team banquet the previ-

Will Archambault made an impact as a freshman and averaged eight points a game in 33 outings.

The 2006-07 Wildcats were picked fourth in the South Division of the Southern Conference in the preseason. Davidson earned its second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

ous April that experts would count them out the next season. “But we have something for them,” the coach told the packed room, “and that is … SURPRISE!” It turned out to be a storybook season for the Wildcats, all right. Three experienced juniors - Thomas Sander, Jason Richards and Boris Meno - took on the role of leadership and excelled at it. Max Paulhus Gosselin, a sophomore warrior, inspired the team with his unrelenting effort and defensive prowess. Paulhus Gosselin was first in line to accept any small job that would help his team win. And then there was a precocious freshman by the name of Stephen Curry, a 6-1 package of dynamite that wasn’t afraid of the devil himself. Another freshman, Will Archambault, came off to bench to play in 33 games and average eight points. When Archambault couldn't play against rival Charlotte due to injury, freshman teammate Bryant Barr stepped into his role and scored 11 points. Also coming off the bench and creating havoc for opponents was Davidson's “Big Cat,” Andrew Lovedale. His energy, ability to beat much smaller players down the court and defensive and rebounding skills sparked the Wildcats on a consistent basis. Redshirt freshman Steve Rossiter, freshman Dan Nelms, sophomore Can Civi and seniors John Falconi and Lamar Hull made significant contributions in DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

ways that impressed the coaching staff. The chemistry on the team was about as good as it gets. The players genuinely liked each other, hung out together, stuck together in tough times. Davidson stood at 4-3 when it opened its Southern Conference season against Elon on Dec. 1. The Wildcats sent a message that night that resonated throughout the conference: Davidson 86 Elon 61. Then the Wildcats went on a tear: 12 wins in a row, including the championship of a tournament hosted by Pac-10 member Arizona State. After Davidson won 83-78 at Wofford, Terriers coach Mike Young said, “They lost seven really good players from last year, and somehow they're better now than they were then. It's amazing.” McKillop’s young team seemed to be on cruise control when Appalachian State came to Davidson on Jan. 20. Before a large, loud crowd, Appalachian State won one of the most exciting games of the season, 81-74. It was an emotional game, and the defeat was a slap in the face to the Wildcats, one that maybe they needed at that point in the season. Losing a conference game at home didn't set well with any of them. It got the attention of the players, that’s for sure, who vowed not to let it happen again. The rest of the schedule was against teams from the Southern Conference. 105

2007 NCAA TEAM Davidson won them all - 13 in a row. The team picked to finish fourth in the South Division was 17-1 in regular-season conference action. But nothing was decided when Davidson headed to Charleston for the SoCon tournament to compete for the automatic invitation to the NCAA tournament. Davidson had been down that road before. Two years previous, the 'Cats went 16-0 in conference, lost in the semifinals of the tournament and failed to get a bid to the NCAAs, even though they were one of only two teams in the nation to go unbeaten in their conference. Clearly the conference's best team over a tough home-and-home schedule, Davidson would have to validate three months of hard work by winning three more games in three nights. If you think it's easy, basketball to you is a foreign language. Beating conference opponents teams that know you so well - two and three times in a season is extremely difficult. Chattanooga, a team that Davidson had already beaten twice, once by 30 points, put up a strong battle before Davidson prevailed, 78-68. Furman, which was playing well, was the semi-finals opponent. Davidson didn't mess around - 91-68, a knockout. The championship game pitted two ri-

2006 NCAA TEAM Johnson leads in uPseT dRive The players on Davidson’s 2005-06 basketball team had decided well before the first shot was taken that the only way to have a successful season would be to win the Southern Conference championship and qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The seven seniors made sure every player on the team understood the mission. Nothing less would do. It was coach Bob McKillop’s 17th Davidson team, and it’s doubtful that he ever had one that had better chemistry. Team unity was enhanced by a summer trip to Italy where the Wildcats went sightseeing and played six exhibition games, including one against one of the best teams in the world – the Italian National team. Once practices began in earnest in mid-October, Davidson’s players were serious about their quest. The outside schedule was tough. The ’Cats won home games against UMass, Saint Joseph’s, Missouri and dropped road games to Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Charlotte and Illinois-Chicago. Davidson was overmatched against Duke and UNC, but had excellent chances to win the other three games. McKillop’s men are not into moral victories, but playing well in such tough venues toughened them for the SoCon regular season. Good thing it did, because Davidson didn’t waltz through the conference season. It lost five regular-season conference games, including one at home to Western Carolina, the only home loss against 14 wins. The Wildcats didn’t exactly roar into the SoCon Tournament in Charleston in early March. They lost by 13 at Wofford on Feb. 11, 2006, and were on the verge of dropping what would have been a shocker to Citadel in Charleston two days later. Senior Jason Morton came off the bench to rescue the Wildcats, hitting all six of his 3-point attempts and nailing 9of-10 from the field to score 27 points in 27 minutes. After winning by eight over Furman, Davidson dropped a 76-73 game

at Georgia Southern. On Senior Day in the Baker Sports complex, the Wildcats rallied to beat the rival College of Charleston, 65-63 on a Kenny Grant threepointer. Davidson ended the regular season with 17 wins and 10 losses and was 10-5 in the SoCon regular season. Based on their conference play in the regular season, which had been erratic, the Wildcats went to Charleston for the championship tournament as one of several that were

thought to be good enough to win it, but not as the prohibitive favorite. The team’s seven seniors however were on a mission. Brendan Winters, Ian Johnson, Jason Morton, Matt McKillop, Kenny Grant, Eric Blancett and Chris Clunie wouldn’t get another chance for a SoCon title. It was now or never. It was almost never. An inspired Citadel team roared to a 19-point first-half lead, and for a time, it appeared that Davidson was too stunned to rally. But the Wildcats reduced the deficit to seven by halftime, and behind Matt McKillop’s 21 points, survived a scare, 79-73. Tournament basketball is all about advancing. Style points aren’t important. Davidson was still alive. Ian Johnson missed only two shots as Davidson eliminated Elon in the semifinals, 65-58. The final score was closer than the actual game, as the Wildcats were in charge most of the way. It set up a bout for the championship against Chattanooga, a team that had beaten Davidson on Jan. 23, 65-59. With an NCAA Tournament bid at stake, it was a mismatch of major proportions. Behind a brilliant 33-point performance by Brendan Winters, who would be named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, Davidson cruised to the NCAAs with a smashing 80-55 win.

With championship trophy in hand, McKillop would take his third Davidson team to the NCAA Tournament, and overall, this would be Davidson’s eighth team to make the Big Dance. Given a 15th seed by the NCAA Se-

lection Committee, Davidson was sent to Dayton, Ohio, to play against second-seeded Ohio State, the regularseason Big Ten champions. With its campus in Columbus located only a short bus ride from Dayton, the game was for all intents and purposes a road game for the Wildcats. They weren’t the least bit intimidated. In talking to his players at the pre-game meal, Coach McKillop said, “We have a real chance to win this game. We are going to attack Ohio State and knock them on their heels.” Davidson did just that. The 12,945 fans in attendance, most in garnet and gray, were silenced as Davidson led by four at halftime. Davidson stayed close for most of the second half, but the Buckeyes put together enough offense to win, 70-62. Johnson was brilliant for Davidson, as he thoroughly outplayed Ohio State star Terence Dials. In addition to the seven seniors, Davidson received outstanding performances from sophomores Thomas Sander, Boris Meno and Jason Richards. Freshmen Andrew Lovedale, Max Paulhus Gosselin and Can Civi made major contributions to the team’s success, as did junior John Falconi. Steve Rossiter received an injury redshirt, and he and Lamar Hull were superb practice players who helped Davidson prepare for upcoming opponents. Davidson ended the season with 20 wins, 11 losses, a Southern Conference championship and the invitation to the Big Dance. The Wildcats didn’t just show up for the NCAA Tournament, either. They went to Dayton to win the game - and almost did it. It was a season of great memories for all of the Wildcats, especially for the seven seniors, all of whom earned their degrees.

Matt McKillop was one of seven seniors who led the ‘Cats to the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

2005 NIT TEAM davidson GeTs T Wo niT Wins 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 secondplace 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, after topping Elon 67-53 in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference Tournament in Chattanooga, Tenn., they ran into a redhot UNC Greensboro team in the semifi-

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 teamleading scorer Winters made the AllSouthern 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 nonACC 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 ‘C aTs lose sQueakeR To buCkeyes 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

Martin Ides tallied 20 points and seven rebounds against the 12th-ranked Buckeyes.

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 2824 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, scoring 17 of Davidson’s 19 points. He dropped in two clutch free throws with eight seconds left to seal the victory. His sterling play netted him the tournament’s MVP award. 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 3332 at halftime.

State’s next eight points to give the Buckeyes a 65-61 lead with 2:35 to play. An Anderer 3-pointer 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 extraordinary 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. davidson vs. no. 12 ohio state March 14, 2002, albuquerque, n.M. — The Pit davidson Booker Pearson Ides Tonella Bernard Anderer Erege Ivory White Grace Team ToTals

1998 NCAA TEAM MiChiGan ends davidson’s season 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, junior forwards Ben Ebong and Chadd Holmes, and sophomores Landry Kosmalski, Stephen Marshall and Davor Halbauer. 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. Riding a 12-game winning streak, Davidson kept it close for a while before the powerful Wolverines and Robert “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. davidson vs. no. 12 Michigan March 13, 1998, atlanta, Ga. davidson Kosmalski Marshall Donnelly Ton Halbauer Ebong Holmes Armstrong Burns Allenspach ToTals

1996 NIT TEAM WildC aTs fall To souTh C aRolina 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, 90-68 over Appalachian State. Those were all Southern Conference opponents. Davidson cruised through the SoCon 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, sopho-

more Ray Minlend checked in with 12.1 points a game and junior Narcisse Ewodo 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 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.

lected 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 the Gamecocks 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 at south Carolina March 13, 1995, Columbia, s.C. davidson Williams Harwood Alpert Minlend Anderson Donnelly Ton Burns Holmes McGuire ToTals s.CaRolina Russell Stack Johnson Davis Watson McKie Gallman Formanek Carlisle Wilbourne ToTals

1994 NIT TEAM ‘C aTs dRoP niT oPeneR To WesT viRGinia Davidson’s 1993-94 basketball team wasn’t viewed in the preseason as one that would make a serious run at the Southern Conference championship or a berth in a postseason tournament. The Wildcats were coming off a 14-14 season in 1993, and coach Bob McKillop’s rebuilding job was still a work in progress. But Davidson’s players saw things differently. They wanted a taste of postseason basketball and thought they could achieve it. With seniors Janko Narat and Jason Zimmerman leading the way with their skills and leadership, Davidson defeated UNC Charlotte twice, beat Clemson and won a one-point game at NC State. Sophomore Brandon Williams gave Davidson athleticism and 14.4 points and 6.3 rebounds a game, but Narat was the team’s go-to guy. He averaged 17.7 points while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 81.9 percent from the free throw line. A versatile player, he could score from the perimeter or back his defender inside for some deadly turnaround jumpers. Junior center George Spain used his left-handed shooting skill to average 10.1 points while Chris Alpert, the point guard, chipped in with 8.1 points and a

team-leading 130 assists. Quinn Harwood, 6-9, sophomore, averaged 7.9 points and Zimmerman, 6.8 points. The defensive stopper was Jeff Anderson, a versatile sophomore who could guard three positions on the court. The Wildcats won 15 of their last 18 games on their way to a final record of 228. They were 13-5 in conference play in the regular season, good for second place. The ’Cats advanced to the league championship game against Chattanooga and had a real chance to win it with seconds left, but a shot in the lane failed and the Mocs held on for a 65-64 win. Davidson’s season wasn’t over, however. It received a bid to the NIT where it lost to West Virginia, 85-69. “Our disappointment of losing in the conference championship game and not making the NCAA Tournament was tempered somewhat because our team overachieved,” McKillop said. “We got great leadership from Zimmerman, who became an even better leader Quinn Harwood tallied 12 points and eight rebounds in the Wildcats’ NIT game at when he was removed from West Virginia.

the starting lineup. Our lack of postseason experience, on the part of coaches and players, was very evident in our game against West Virginia. We were just so happy to be in the NIT that we didn’t play our best. But we had an excellent senior class (Narat, Zimmerman, Ron Horton, Chris Shields) and a terrific season.” There were superlatives, too. Narat and Zimmerman surpassed 1,000 points in their excellent Davidson careers. Narat was named to the All-Southern Conference team and McKillop, in his fifth season as Davidson’s head coach, was named conference Coach of the Year. davidson at West virginia March 17, 1994, Morgantown, W. va. — Wvu Coliseum davidson Narat Williams Spain Anderson Alpert Harwood Zimmerman Donnelly McGuire Caldwell Shields ToTals W. viRGinia Robinson Greene Wilson Basey Boyd Shaw Liquori Agnew Grmusa Pollard Lamb Barron ToTals

1986 NCAA TEAM kenTuCky sToPs davidson in nC aa s The 1985-86 Wildcats of coach Bobby Hussey lost their last two games of the regular season on their way to championship dreams in the Southern Conference Tournament. 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 firstround opponent. Davidson would be ready. Davidson finished 10-6 in the Southern Conference regular season, tied with Marshall for second place behind 12-4 Chattanooga. The Wildcats had not played in an NCAA Tournament since 1970, a long dry spell for a program that had lived in the national spotlight under Lefty Driesell in the 1960s. Davidson and VMI had split two regular-season games with the ’Cats winning by seven at home and losing by six in Lexington, Va. In the rubber game, Davidson’s Derek Rucker scored 17 points, and Gerry Born had 14 points and 10 rebounds as the ’Cats took their first SoCon Tournament win since 1982, by the score of 71-62.

Davidson jumped to a good lead early only to see ETSU rally and tie the game at halftime. The Bucs led by four with 7:43 to play, but a 10-2 Davidson rally put the Wildcats on top 58-54 with 3:46 left en route to a 74-65 victory. Davidson had five players score in double figures: Tanner with 17, Born, Rucker, and Himes with 12, and Jim McConkey with 10. The championship game opponent was Chattanooga. Davidson led by 10 early in the game, but UTC rallied to take a second-half lead in a low-scoring game. The game was tied with just seconds remaining when Born hit a 22-foot shot to win it for the Wildcats, 42-40. Born was named the tournament’s most valuable player and was joined on the all-tournament team by teammates Rucker and Tanner. The 20-10 record heading into the NCAA Tournament was Davidson’s best in 16 seasons. Rucker led the ’Cats in scoring at 14 points a game, followed by Born at 11.0, Himes at 10.2, Chris Heineman at 9.0 and Tanner at 7.9. The reward for the conference champi-

Kentucky was never threatened in the second half en route to an impressive 75-55 victory. Born and Himes led Davidson’s scoring with 13 points each while Rucker added 10. Kentucky had a massive advantage on the backboards, 39-19.

1972 NIT TEAM davidson in niT foR fiRsT TiMe As a young coach, Terry Holland was outspoken and optimistic about his outlook for his Davidson basketball teams. Before the start of Davidson’s 1971-72 season, Holland was quoted, “Our returning veterans, Eric Minkin, Joe Sutter and John Pecorak can give us the leadership and experience we need to go with the youthful enthusiasm of the sophomores. As coaches we feel this combination is capable of 20 wins and an NCAA berth.” Holland’s prediction came within a game of being correct. Davidson ended the season 19-9 and 8-2 in the Southern Conference regular season, which put the Wildcats atop the league standings. After beating Appalachian State, 87-77, in the opening round of the Southern Conference Tournament, the Wildcats lost a heartbreaker in the semifinals to East Carolina, 81-77, thereby losing out on an NCAA trip. It was an interesting season for Holland and his Wildcats. In his third year as Davidson’s head coach, the former Wildcat star player and assistant coach welcomed back a roster of one senior, two juniors and 10 sophomores. Freshmen were ineligible for varsity play, so this

represented one of the youngest teams in major college basketball. Sutter, a 6-7 junior, averaged 15.9 points and 7.6 rebounds the previous season when the Wildcats finished 15-11. Minkin averaged 10.8 points and 7.7 rebounds and Pecorak scored 7.4 points a game and pulled 6.4 rebounds. The most ballyhooed of the sophomores was John Falconi, who averaged 25.5 points for the Davidson freshman team. “We expect him to do equally well against varsity competition,” Holland said. Falconi didn’t disappoint anyone in red and black, as he led the ’Cats in scoring at 16.1 points a game. Davidson proved to be an extremely hard team to guard as a balanced attack resulted in five players averaging double digits in points: Falconi led followed by Sutter (15.7), John Pecorak (11.5), Minkin (11.5), sophomore Mike Sorrentino (10.9). Sophomore T. Jay Pecorak (John’s brother) averaged 9.6 points a game. While the team’s goal was the conference tournament championship and an Eric Minkin averaged nearly 11 points and eight boards a game for Terry Holland’s automatic berth in the

NCAA Tournament, Davidson was invited to the National Invitation Tournament for the first time in the school’s history. It should be understood that in this era the NIT was almost as prestigious as the NCAA Tournament. In fact, in the late 1960s, coach Al McGuire of Marquette turned down an NCAA bid to accept one to the NIT. Davidson went to New York to play in Madison Square Garden, maybe the most famous building in the world for basketball. The opponent was Syracuse, which defeated Davidson in a squeaker, 81-77. Falconi led the Davidson scorers with 21 points while Minkin hauled down 13 rebounds. New Yorkers Falconi and Sorrentino were thrilled with the chance to play in New York and the storied Garden. Sutter missed the NIT as he kept an earlier commitment to take part in a foreign exchange program in Mexico. davidson vs. syracuse March 18, 1972, new york, n.y. — Madison square Garden davidson J.

1970 NCAA TEAM ‘C aTs unable To hold lead 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 Coli-

seum. 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 making only 16-of-26 free throws. With four offensive stars on the team, Holland wisely directed his offense to suit them. Of the 846 field goals that Davidson scored during the season, Maloy, Cook, Kroll and Adrian hit 660 of them. Adrian averaged 20.2 points a game, Maloy 17.4, Cook 15.6 and Kroll 13.4. Cook led the team in field-goal percentage at .500. Maloy averaged 12.7 rebounds and Cook 10.2 The era of Maloy, Cook and Kroll ended with a 22-5 season. 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. DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

1969 NCAA TEAM sCoT T ’s shoT beaTs WildC aTs 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 23-game winning streak. The ’Cats 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. “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 ’Cats finished third in the nation in the 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. The 1968-69 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 118

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 seniors — 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 UNC’s stars was Charlie Scott, a superstar who had verbally committed to Davidson during his high school recruitment but changed his mind. The game that ensued was befitting of two superpowers. Close the entire way and hotly 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 UNC 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 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 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 as he led all scorers with 32 points, which overshadowed the superb 13-rebound performance by 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 Carolina turned out to be Driesell’s last at Davidson. In the spring of 1969, he left to accept the head coaching position at the University of Maryland.

1968 NCAA TEAM WildC aTs sToPPed shoRT of final fouR 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, outrebounded 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 8.6point 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, 34-28. UNC shot 39.4 percent in the first half to Davidson’s 41.9 perno. 8 davidson vs. no. 4 north Carolina March 16, 1968, Raleigh, n.C. davidson Kroll Knowles Maloy Moser Huckel O’Neill ToTals n.

cent. 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 secondhalf 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. 119

1966 NCAA TEAM lefT y GeTs TeaM To nC aas 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, 63. “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 120

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.

BA S K E T BA L L

1966 NCAA TEAM 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 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.”

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984) and becoming the first conference to install the threepoint goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley John Iamarino, Southern Conference Commissioner, pres(1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the ents Max Paulhus Gosselin the league’s award for DefenSouthwestern Athletic (1920) confersive Player of the Year in 2009. ences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. Men’s basketball was the first sport in which the conference held a championship. The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship held at Atlanta’s City Auditorium in 1922 and was won by North Carolina. Not only was the Southern Conference Tournament the first of its kind, the league also helped change the face of college basketball. In 1980, the league began a season-long experiment with a 22-foot three-point field goal with the approval of the NCAA Rules Committee. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first three-point field goal in college basketball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, 1980. Another college basketball tradition that originated in the Southern Conference is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. According to USA Today, the practice of net cutting originated in 1947 with North Carolina State head coach Everett Case. As a first-year head coach, Case led the Wolfpack to the Southern Conference Tournament title. Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir of the win to commemorate the event. Basketball coaching legend Red Auerbach gives credit to former George Washington coach Bill Reinhart, who coached in the conference for nearly 30 years, as one of the originators of the modern fast-break. West Virginia’s 10 tournament championships are still the most in league history. The Mountaineers were led by the incomparable Jerry West from 1958 through ’60. West, a two-time All-America selection, spurred West Virginia to the Final Four in 1959. The Mountaineers lost in the championship game that season to California, 71-70, but West earned Final Four Most Valuable Player honors. West was a three-time Southern Conference tournament MVP, a twotime league regular season MVP, and was twice named the conference’s Athlete of the Year. He went on to a spectacular career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lakers. It is West’s silhouette that comprises the NBA’s globally recognized logo. Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for points in a game while at Furman. On Feb. 13, 1954, the senior scored 100 points in a game against Newberry, a record that still stands. Selvy was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player in 1953 and 1954 and the league’s Athlete of the Year in 1954. He went on to a 10year career in the NBA. Rod Hundley was another West Virginia star during the 1950s. “Hot Rod” made a name for himself as one of the most spectacular players to tour the league during his era. Hundley averaged 24.5 points per game in his three seasons as a Mountaineer and was an all-conference and all-tournament performer in each of those three years. He was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player and Athlete of the Year as a senior in 1957. He was the first player selected in the 1957 NBA draft and enjoyed a six-year career in that league. East Tennessee State’s Keith “Mister” Jennings made his mark on the college basketball world in the early 1990s. Despite standing less than six feet tall, Jen-

nings was a two-time all-conference choice and the league’s Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year in 1991. Jennings played with the Golden State Warriors of the NBA. Besides West Virginia’s team in 1959, the Southern Conference has been represented in the Final Four on two other occasions. North Carolina advanced to the NCAA championship game in 1943 before falling 43-40 to Oklahoma State. North Carolina State finished third in the tournament in 1950. Davidson continued the record of success by advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight in 2008 and coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats came within a basket of making the Final Four behind the play of sophomore guard Stephen Curry.

PRESIDENT TOM ROSS Maybe it wasn’t the soundest negotiating maneuver ever devised, the one used by Thomas W. Ross when the search committee interviewed him for the position of Davidson College president to replace the retiring Bobby Vagt. “If you offer me the job I’ll come,” Ross told them, “but don’t offer it to me unless you’re positive that I can do it.” Good negotiating strategy? Probably not. But it was honest, candid and straightforward – traits that characterize Ross’ approach to his job as well as the way he lives his life. Davidson’s trustees, to their credit, recognized those qualities and more when they chose Ross to become the college’s 17th president, a position that he officially began on Aug. 1, 2007. Ross can tell you on any given date exactly how many days he’s been Davidson’s president. His first two-plus years on the job have seen him darting around like a hummingbird, first to this place then to another. “Wonderful, fantastic, humbling, scary, exciting, tiring and energizing,” is the way he describes his job at this point. Without question his first year as college president was a whirlwind of activities, which included coast-to-coast trips to speak to 21 alumni events as well as following Davidson’s storybook dash to the NCAA Elite Eight. In between, he had a college to run and felt a need and desire to show up anywhere that someone

wanted to talk about Davidson and how to make it better, whether it was a retreat with college trustees or a drop-in lunch with students at the Student Union. Much like a sophomore basketball player feels more relaxed and confident after a year of learning, Ross finds himself more comfortable in the job because not all of it is new to him. “I have a much better understanding of the place,” he says. There’s no question how much the college means to him. He and wife Susan Donaldson Ross have a daughter and son, both of whom are Davidson graduates. Ross graduated from Davidson in 1972 and then from the University of North Carolina School of Law. He taught at the University’s School of Government, was a member of a prestigious Greensboro law firm, worked as chief of staff in a congressional office, and in 1984 was appointed a judge of Superior Court by former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt. At the time of the appointment, Ross was the youngest Superior Court judge in the state, a position he held for 17 years. He served as director of North Carolina’s Administrative Office of the Courts and later as executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. It’s an impressive career, but all of that doesn’t keep Ross from wondering from time to time if he’s up to the task of being president of his alma mater. In speaking to this year’s freshman class, Ross told them that they would have moments of doubt and uncertainty. He has some of the same feelings in his job, he said, that he had as a Davidson freshman, including “being surrounded by people who are mostly smarter than I am, the separation from what I know and what I have been used to, questions about whether I will fit in and whether people will like me, and the worry about whether I can do the work and be successful here.” In expanding on those words for the purpose of this interview, Ross said, “Sometimes I wonder if I have what it takes to be here and do this job prop-

The college has had such an impact on my life that it would hurt me deeply if I ever did anything to harm it.” After winning widespread praise for his first two years as president, the chances of Ross ever doing anything to harm Davidson are indeed remote. “I feel blessed to be here,” he says. “I take nothing for granted and don’t assume anything.” He’s discovered this job to be “busier than any I’ve had. I’m scheduled tighter than I’ve ever been. It is seven days a week, begins early in the morning and goes to the dinner hour and often beyond, sometimes a good bit beyond. But there is also more joy in doing this job than any I’ve experienced.” Ross’ background, especially that of sitting on the Superior Court bench, prepared him well for the pressures that are ever present in leading a liberal arts college with 1,800 students and a brilliant faculty. “There’s tremendous pressure on judges,” he said. “You carry it with you every day and never really get away from it because decisions you make affect the lives of people in a significant way.” Ross says that his job as Davidson College president “is joyful, fun, exciting. Eighty percent of the time it’s a perfect job and they wouldn’t even have to pay me. The other 20 percent … they don’t have

PRESIDENT TOM ROSS enough money.” Ross understands the Davidson culture and honors it and does his best to enhance it. The Davidson Way means a great deal to him. He realizes that Davidson’s president is expected to be at many events and accessible to students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the institution. His schedule is so tight that it’s almost impossible for him to pick up and leave for a few days during the school year, so he uses another approach, a unique one, to relieve the burdens. He immerses himself in his job. He often surprises students by having lunch with them unannounced. He asks questions, listens to what they have to say, and has even made some changes because of ideas and recommendations they gave him. Anything to make Davidson better, that’s the way he approaches his job. There are over 400 seniors in this year’s class, and Ross hopes to have dinner with all of them before the school year is over. It’s quite an undertaking that means he’ll try to have dinner with 15 or 20 seniors once or twice a week. “Tell me the best parts about Davidson,” he says to them, “as well as what you think we need to think about changing.” His experience as a lawyer helps him ask good questions. His role as a judge taught him how to be a good listener. A man of many interests, he attends many of Davidson’s sporting events, concerts and plays. He is accessible and courteous and loves telling the Davidson story. While the college is steeped in tradition, a changing world makes it more important than ever to maintain flexibility while

holding on to things that are sacred. To help chart the course, Ross is leading an extensive strategic planning program now that when completed will serve as the college’s road map. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of people with connections to the college have been surveyed. He’s been on retreats with the trustees to discuss it further. After the information was gathered from all these sources, it was compiled, a report written, reviewed again by participants, all with the intention of producing a strong plan that would help Davidson navigate its way through a fast-changing world. The next step is implementation. The planning won’t have to dwell on the question of student body size. Ross says the college is comfortable with its student enrollment of approximately 1,800. “We are a small liberal arts college and that’s what we will continue to be,” he says. “We have no intention to grow significantly. That doesn’t mean that at times our enrollment might not increase by 100 to 200 students. Our average class size is 13 students. Our student-faculty ratio is 10 to 1. This intimate learning atmosphere will be maintained.” Ross continues to marvel at the success that men’s basketball coach Bob McKillop, his staff and players have produced the last few years, one that reached all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2008. “It gave us tremendous national exposure, which was about more than just basketball,” he says. “The media were fascinated with a place with such high academic standards that could also excel in athletics. It came through in the media coverage that our athletes are students first and are treated like all other students DAVID S O N W I L D C ATS . CO M

on campus. We couldn’t buy the kind of publicity that we received during the tournament. It created a sense of pride among our students, alumni, faculty and staff. People that didn’t know where Davidson was before the tournament certainly know now. We received emails from all over the world from people talking about our basketball team.” Ross has had an unprecedented opportunity to witness the very best of Davidson’s 100-plus years of collegiate basketball. He was a student when Lefty Driesell was Davidson’s coach and took the Wildcats to the Elite Eight in 1969 before falling to North Carolina. And he was the school’s president when McKillop’s Wildcats returned to the Elite Eight and played on a bigger stage. Ross appreciates such excellence not just in basketball but in all things Davidson. It doesn’t shock him when the success comes because his belief in the place is so strong that he thinks just about anything is possible for the men and women who wear the red and black. As he’s fond of saying when speaking to groups of alumni and students, “It’s a great day to be a Wildcat.” And for Tom Ross – who wears Davidson on his heart and in his soul – it’s a special time to accomplish extraordinary things for his alma mater.

Jim Murphy director of athletics

letic Director of the Year, served two terms on the prestigious NCAA Division I Management Council, a policy-making body within the NCAA governance structure. He chaired the Division I-AA 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 2002-04, 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 first and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. Murphy is a past member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and Past-President of the Football Championship Subdivision 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, and currently serves on the NCAA’s Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Group. A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidson with a degree in economics, he 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.

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, 53, 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 he 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, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year. “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,” said Murphy. “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 the creation of the highlyinnovative $10 million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and at Smith Field at Richardson Stadium. The last five years have seen the construction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field for field hockey, the new Alumni Stadium for soccer, Wilson Baseball Park and batting cages and the football stadium expansion project, which included a state-ofthe-art weight room, a new press box and additional permanent seating.

The history of the Wildcat On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 football players traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson College against Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in the South. The Plainsmen had massacred their first four opponents, outscoring teams, 141-6. According to one account, they were “big, quick, and undefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup. Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 pounds less. Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, outgaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91 yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offensive attack through the efforts of running back A.R. “Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, delivering a “bewildering array of forward passes.” Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that captured the awe and re-

spect of Atlanta sportswriters. They wrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College, whose small stature and ferocious style proved overwhelming. One account notes that Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team, “No other team ever put together in these United States of the same weight as Coach Fetzer’s team could ever get the verdict over the flock of wild men from North Carolina.” The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and it has been used ever since, replacing former, milder references such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and “Preachers.” — revised and rewritten from an account in the Davidson College archives
