D eecadec a d e of CCHAMPIONSHIPSH A M P I O N S H I P S MMISSISSIPPIISSISSIPPI SSTATETATE BBASKETBALLASKETBALL GAME 29: ARKANSAS MEET THE HEAD COACH

onsistency is a key ingredient to the recent success enjoyed by the Mississippi State University basketball program, one that is stressed in the players’ daily activities on and Coff the basketball fl oor that has translated into the program’s recent run of national promi- nence gained under head coach Rick Stansbury. That consistency was brought to the forefront three years ago when MSU’s 13th-year head basketball coach became the all-time winningest basketball coach in school history, surpassing Richard Williams’ mark of 191. Now with a 13-year coaching record of 270-153 at the Bulldog helm, the 14th-most wins in SEC history, Stansbury has guided 10 State squads (6 NCAA & 4 NIT) to postseason tournament appearances and nine clubs to 20-plus wins campaigns. MSU has averaged 21.3 wins the last six years (2005-10), including winning an outright SEC overall championship in 2004, along with back-to-back SEC West crowns in the 2003-2004 and 2007-2008 seasons an another in 2010, and SEC Tournament titles in 2002 and 2009. Most recently, Stansbury piloted last year’s 24-12 State squad to its seventh SEC Western divi- sion crown in school history en route to advancing to the NIT, where the Bulldogs lost to North Rick Stansbury, 13th year Carolina in the second round. From 2001-05, he guided MSU to fi ve-consecutive postseason tournament appearances for the fi rst time in school history, including a streak of four straight NCAA Tournament berths from 2002 through 2005.
