John Marhefka Head Men’s Basketball Coach John Marhefka becomes the eighth head coach in AASU men’s basketball history, on an interim basis, for the 2001-2002 season. The head assistant coach for the Pirates last season, Marhefka helped the Pirates to a school record-tying 25 wins and a school-best 16-game winning streak. AASU captured its second Peach Belt Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championships in 2000-2001. As the head assistant last year, Marhefka was responsible for recruiting the seven players who make up the 2001-2002 incoming class of Pirates and, with seven returnees from last season’s championship squad, the Pirates are in a good position to defend their Peach Belt Conference title this year. A former graduate assistant for Griff Mills from 1996-98, Marhefka re- turned to Savannah for the 2000-2001 season as the Pirates' assistant coach. Marhefka had spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Grove City College, an NCAA Division III school in Grove City, Pa. With the Wolverines, Marhefka helped Grove City College and head coach Steve Lamie to the 1998-99 President's Athletic Conference championship. A native of Medina, Ohio, Marhefka was a four-year letterwinner at Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio, where he helped the Terriers to finish as high as third in the Ohio Athletic Conference, fifth in the Great Lakes Region and earn a Top 20 ranking in the NCAA Division III poll. Marhefka earned his bachelor’s degree in English from Hiram and completed his master’s degree in Health Science from Armstrong Atlantic State in 1998. He also coached high school for three seasons in his home state of Ohio in between his playing days and joining the Pirates - heading up Shaker Heights HS from 1993- 95 and Buckeye Senior HS from 1995-96. John and his wife, Beth, currently reside in Savannah, Ga.

Steve Ray Assistant Coach Steve Ray begins his second season on the Armstrong Atlantic State men's basket- ball staff as the Pirates’ assistant coach. Promoted from his graduate assistant coaching position for the 2001-2002 season, Ray will be in his fifth year at AASU following a stellar two-year playing career for the Pirates from 1997-1999. The Pirates’ all-time leader in three-point baskets with 163, Ray earned his bachelor's degree in English communications in 2000 from AASU. Ray's playing career took him from Penn Valley CC in Kansas City, Mo., where he helped the Scouts to the 1995-96 NJCAA National Championship, to the Pirates, where he set AASU marks for three-point shooting, hitting 163 of 379 shots (43%). At Penn Valley, Ray was a two-time first-team All-Region selection and earned NJCAA All- Tournament and Academic All-America honors. While at AASU, Ray was the 1999 President's Cup award winner, given to the top Pirate student-athlete. Ray will assist head coach John Marhefka in all aspects of the basketball program and is currently nearing completion of his Master's degree in public health from AASU.

A Savannah native and a two-time Division II All-America player at AASU during his four-year career, Campbell finished with 357 career steals, second all-time on the NCAA Division II list. A two-time Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year, Campbell also finished his Pirate career as AASU’s all-time leader in games played and steals and ranked third on the all-time scoring chart with 1,587 career points. Campbell’s duties in 2000-2001 will include assisting the AASU coaching staff in all areas and running the Junior Pirate Developmental Basketball League.
