Home games in BOLD CAPS * American Mideast Conference Game # American Mideast Conference Tournament BOB RAGER, HEAD COACH 23nd season at Point Park, 23nd year overall, Career record: 310-301 Head coach Bob Rager is the all-time leader in career wins at Point Park with 310, and he is the longest tenured coach in program history. He became the all-time victories leader during the 2010-11 season when he passed his predecessor, Jerry Conboy, who won 305 games in 20 years from 1969-89. Rager ranks third all-time in career wins at four-year schools in the City of Pittsburgh. He trails Pitt’s Doc Carlson (367) and Duquesne’s Chick Davies (314) for that honor.

Rager, who was an NAIA All-American player at Point Park from 1970-74, was hired as Point Park’s fourth men’s basketball head coach prior to the 1989-90 season. Since then he has led Point Park to three appearances in the NAIA National Tournament, 16 conference playoff appearances and three conference titles. He has been named American Mideast Conference Coach of the Year on two occasions (2004-05, 2006-07), and he has had three 20-win seasons.

Rager’s first trip to the NAIA Tournament came in 1996-97, when he led the Pioneers to the NAIA Division I Final Four. That year, Point Park was 23-8, won the Keystone-Empire Collegiate Conference and advanced farther in the national tournament than any other Pioneers’ team. Rager’s second NAIA Tournament appearance came in 2000-01. The Pioneers reached the Sweet 16 and ended with a record of 21-12.

One of Rager’s best teams came in 2006-07 when the Pioneers were 29-2 and finished the season ranked No. 3 in the final NAIA Division II poll. The Pioneers won the AMC Championship Game over visiting Cedarville to take a 29-1 record and a No.3 overall seed into the national tournament. But the Pioneers were upset in the first round by Spalding (Ky.).

Through the years, Rager’s teams have employed his fast-paced, up-tempo attack that have helped Point Park field one of the highest scoring pro- grams in the NAIA in recent years. In an impressive three-year stretch, the Pioneers led the NAIA Division II in scoring in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and they were third in the nation in the following year of 2007-08.

As a player, Rager ranks 14th in Point Park history with 1,071 career points. His 367 career assists rank seventh in Point Park annals.

#30 DANTE ANGLIN Forward, 6-5, 220, Senior Hometown: North Hills, Pa. High school: North Hills

Coach Rager: “Dante is our top returning rebounder, and he has given us good defense and rebounding during his career. He has improved offensively. We need him to play like a senior. When he is in the game, he needs to contribute points to the position.” Profile: Anglin is the only returning player to start every game last year, and he is the top returning rebounder and post defender for the Pioneers. He has been used mainly as a defensive presence who is relied on for defense and rebounding, but he is a capable offensive player as well. Anglin has shot a high percentage for his career at .462.

#20 MIKE CARR Guard, 6-1, 200, Junior Hometown: Munhall, Pa. High school: Steel Valley

After redshirting in 2008-09, he has seen action in a total of 19 games as a sub the last two years. Carr possesses outside shooting ability that can be utilized off the bench.

High school: Serra Catholic

Coach Rager “Robbie’s game has developed as he had gone for his first year to his second year of college basketball. He’s gotten stronger, and that will help his overall game. He has a good shooting stroke, and we will use him at the 2 and 1 positions.” Profile: Heatherington averaged 4.6 points per game as a freshman. He was in the starting lineup for the first five games and then came off the bench the rest of the season. He played in 26 games in all, and he had four games scoring in double figures. Heatherington showed the ability to be a productive scorer in those contests, and his offensive game figures to get a boost in consistency after added some muscle in the off season. 2010-11: Heatherington was one of the top guard options off the bench as a freshman. He had a season high of 23 points versus Penn State-Fayette. He delivered in a big way with 18 points in a overtime win over Cedarville when he helped make up for two injured starters, including his brother T.J.

Coach Rager: “T.J. is the catalyst of our team. We expect big things from him and to run our offense. He is fully healthy after a knee injury last year, he has lost weight, he is quicker. We need him to produce offensively with points and assists and to set our tempo. He has a great feel for the game, sees the floor and can be a high scorer.” Profile: Heatherington is the Pioneers’ point guard, and he missed 12 of the last 13 games of the 2010-11 season with a knee injury he suffered Jan. 15.

He ranked sixth in the AMC in scoring and was second in assists. He was tops among AMC freshmen in scoring and assists, and his assist average ranked fifth in NAIA Division II.

#45 DAVE MENZIES Center, 6-5, 250, Junior Hometown: McKeesport, Pa. High school: Serra Catholic

Coach Rager: “We will be looking for Dave to give us minutes in the post. In using him in combination with the other post players, we need him to help us get production out of the two frontcourt spots.” Profile: Menzies has not been used much his first two years, but he will need to take on more minutes in his junior year. At 6-5, 250 pounds, he is the bulkiest player on the team, and he will add depth to the Pioneers’ frontcourt. He has seen action in a combined total of 22 games in his first two years with all of that being as a backup.

High school: Belle Vernon Area

Coach Rager: “Josh is a very active player on the boards and as a shot blocker. He is athletic, and he has gotten stronger from his freshman to sophomore year. Josh is capable of developing into a real nice player for us at the 4 position, and he will be in the running to start there this year.” Profile: Pohlot was one of the top post options off the bench as a freshman and will look to take on a possible starting frontcourt role as a sophomore. A long and athletic forward with good jumping ability, he can be a force on the defensive end with shot blocking and rebounding.
