With 12 NCAA Tournament berths in the last 14 seasons, seven Sweet Sixteen appearances, a pair of consecutive Final Four showings, and the 2002 national championship – the first of its kind in Maryland basketball history – Williams and his staff have literally forged what is now more than a decade of dominance in college basketball’s most storied and competitive conference. Now, with 378 victories as Maryland’s head coach, Williams is the school’s Terrapins all-time winningest head coach, eclipsing the mark of former Terp mentor Charles “Lefty” Driesell, who amassed 348 victories in 17 seasons from 1969-70 to 1985-86. The Terrapins have averaged 23.0 wins per year since the 1994-95 season. With 585 career victories in 29 seasons overall, Williams is the seventh-winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men’s basketball. Williams was heralded as the national and ACC Coach of the Year during the Terps’ 2002 championship run. He is one of just 12 active coaches in America to boast a national title and one of only three in the conference. He has become the third-winningest coach in ACC history after transforming the Maryland program into one of the nation’s most formidable, and building a Baltimore-D.C.

  • Stack Offense Q & A
    better than a layup Challenging Basketball’s Conventional Wisdom Stack Offense Q & A A Quick Primer on Gene Sullivan’s Isolation Offense Mark S. Seeberg betterthanalayup.com (585) 230-3716 Author’s Note In response to a series of posts on the decline of scoring in college basketball and my attempt to trace the reasons for this disturbing trend by probing Austin Carr and Collis Jones’ record-setting performance in the early 1970’s, several readers requested information on the Stack or Isolation offense. While I intend to write a comprehensive and hopefully polished piece on this unique offense and the man who developed it, I decided that a “quick and dirty” overview in Q & A format would prove helpful to those who follow my blog. In the near future, I will compose a more comprehensive treatment of the subject and will post it at betterthanalayup.com. -- Mark S. Seeberg June 26, 2015 Who was Gene Sullivan? Outside of Chicago basketball circles, few people know who Gene Sullivan was or appreciate his influence on college basketball. He achieved great success but labored in relative obscurity. He is most frequently remembered as the coach linked to two of the highest scorers in NCAA history – Notre Dame’s Austin Carr and Loyola Chicago’s Alfredrick Hughes, and for a succession of feuds with the NCAA over tournament selection, and justice for red-shirted freshmen and for schools not afraid to schedule tough games “on the road.” Among his more ardent followers, though, Sullivan is remembered as “an eccentric genius.” Sullivan served as the head basketball coach at Loyola Academy between 1956 - 67, then as the top assistant at Notre Dame University during the Austin Carr era, followed by successful stints as athletic director at Chicago’s De Paul and Loyola universities, and ended his coaching career as the head coach at Loyola Chicago.

  • A Final and a Beginning by Michael Lenehan March 2, 2013 Fifty Years Ago, As the 25Th N.C.A.A. Men's Final Began at Freedom Ha
    A Final and a Beginning By Michael Lenehan March 2, 2013 Fifty years ago, as the 25th N.C.A.A. men’s final began at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky., basketball fans saw for the first time something they take for granted today. As the two top men’s teams in the country, Loyola of Chicago and Cincinnati, prepared for the opening tip, most of the players on the floor, 7 of 10, were black. Looking back, one of those players, Tom Thacker of Cincinnati, summed up the significance: “You tune in the television and you see seven black guys, and you’re a black high school ballplayer in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky or wherever, your eyes pop out. You’re going to stay tuned.” It was the height of the civil rights movement. A few months before the tournament, James Meredith enrolled at Mississippi, which led to rioting. President John F. Kennedy called out 30,000 federal troops — more than in the surge in Iraq — to restore order. A few months after the tournament, a bomb exploded in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., killing four black girls. All-black colleges were not yet welcome in the N.C.A.A. tournament. Coaches at overwhelmingly white universities — in other words, most coaches — were squeamish about the number of black faces in their team photographs. They joked among themselves that they could play one black player on the road, two at home, three if they were way behind. But the Bearcats, the favorites in the 1963 final, had three black starters (and four the previous season).

One of the most respected coaches in the country and a nation - O al champion was coming to Gold Country to lead the Gopher program. The excitement of bringing one of the top coaches in the country to the University of Minnesota was only matched by the satisfaction of welcoming one of the classiest individuals in the world of college basketball today to the Maroon and Gold. In his first season at the “U”, Smith took a team that had won nine games the season before to a 20-14 record. The Gophers finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference at 8-10 and were the sixth seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The 11-game improvement in the win column from the 2006-07 season is the largest season turn - around in school history and tied for the second-best turnaround in Division I in 2007-08. Also, the five-win improvement in conference play was the second biggest Big Ten turnaround in 2007-08. Smith came to Minnesota with a reputation for winning at the highest level not matched by many coaches in the country. In his 17-year career, he has claimed a National Title (Kentucky in 1997-98), made four “Elite Eight appearances”, nine “Sweet Sixteen” appearances, posted 15 straight 20-win seasons and has the 12th-best active winning percentage of any coach at the Division I level with a 407-159 record (.719).
