Fast forward some 20-plus years and Jay Spoonhour has almost come full circle as on April 9, 2012 in Lantz Arena he was named the head coach of the Eastern Illinois University men’s basketball program. Spoonhour is the 14th head coach in the program’s history and only the third head coach since the program joined the NCAA Division I ranks in 1981. Spoonhour met with members of the media, members of the community and members of the Panthers basketball team as he first introduced his family to the crowd before expressing his excitement about getting the Panthers head job. “For anybody that gets a job that is a dream of theirs I don’t know how you start thanking people,” said Spoonhour. “Obviously I want to thank the administration – Dr. Perry, Ms. Burke and Dr. Nadler for the opportunity. I want to also thank everybody here. It’s not like I decided I wanted to be a coach when I got to college. This has been a dream of mine since I was in the fourth grade.” Spoonhour grew up in a basketball family with his dad Charlie a long time head coach at Missouri State, Saint Louis and UNLV.

He was hired as the head coach at Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, Ill., for the 2000-01 season leading the team to the Junior College National Championship with a 36-1 record. He was named the NJCAA National Coach of the Year that season. The success and relationships that Spoonhour has created in his career have carried over to the manner in which many other coaches speak of him. West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said, “Eastern Illinois has hired an outstanding basketball coach. Jay Spoonhour has won at every level of college coaching. He is an excellent tactician and game strategist who will bring charisma not seen in many basketball programs in American.” Michigan head coach John Beilein said, “I have known Jay and his late father Charlie Spoonhour for many years, and have the utmost respect for how Jay has earned the respect in our profession as an excellent basketball coach.

Running Head: COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 1 What Style of Ball Should a College Basketball Team Play? January 14, 2018 COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 2 Abstract The question I am trying to answer in this paper is “what style of ball should a college basketball team play?” To answer this question, I analyzed the data of points per game, opponent points per game, and winning percentage of every Division I and Division II and almost every Division III basketball team for the 2016-17 season. I concluded that offense is slightly more important than defense for Division II and Division III college basketball teams. Division II and Division III coaches can apply this finding by emphasizing their recruiting on better scorers. Keywords: player selection, playing style, recruiting COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 3 What Style of Ball Should a College Basketball Team Play? The question I am trying to answer in this paper is “what style of ball should a college basketball team play?” I got the idea for this question from the chapter in Tobias J.
