NCAA TournamentThe men’s basketball team made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and 2009, marking the fi rst two NCAA appearances in program history. In 2009, the Eagles played Villanova in Philadelphia, Pa., in the fi rst round and nearly pulled off a stunning upset over the Wildcats, taking a 14-point lead moments into the second half. Villanova, however, would come back to win the game and advanced to the Final Four before losing to eventual national champion North Carolina. The 2008 team met Tennessee in the fi rst round in Birmingham, Ala., where American trailed by only one point with six minutes remaining before falling 72-57.

WIN. LEARN. LEAD.American University student-athletes excel both in the classroom and on the court, living up to the Athletics Department motto of “WIN. LEARN. LEAD.” In 2009, the men’s basketball team captured both the Patriot League Regular Season and Tournament Championship, and had six student-athlete named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, the most in the conference. Under Head Coach Jeff Jones, the Eagles have earned two Patriot League Player of the Year honors, two Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors, 14 all-conference selections and 34 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll selections.

10

Eagles SpiritThe American University Spirit Program is comprised of a cheerleading and dance team and the AU Pep Band. The Spirit Program performs at all home men’s basketball games as well as select women’s basketball games and volleyball matches, keeping the energy level high inside Bender Arena.

11

In the SpotlightAmerican University is located in the center of one of the largest media markets in the country, Washington, D.C. From television to radio, AU student-athletes gain exposure on both a local and national level.

Each of the four major television networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox) has an af� liate in D.C. and can often be found on campus. Regional cable networks Comcast SportsNet and MASN also cover the Eagles throughout the year along with WTOP Radio. “Eye on the Eagles” is also a short program broadcast on Comcast SportsNet which allows for an in-depth look at AU Athletics.

National newspapers The Washington Post and Washington Times serve as AU’s hometown papers. USA Today is also headquartered just miles away from campus.

In the last three years, ESPN2, ESPNU, CBS College Sports, MASN and Comcast SportsNet have all broadcast games live from Bender.

12

13

Community InvolvementThe men’s basketball team is involved with several community service organizations and plays an active role in the Washington, D.C. community. For the last several years, the team has made visits to local elementary schools to participate in classes and has volunteered for “Walk Now For Autism.” The Eagles are also involved with the “Samaritans Feet” organization and participate in “Coaches vs. Cancer: Shoes and Suits” each year.

14

Jeff Jones and the USOHead Coach Jeff Jones has spent the past two summers traveling to Iraq and Afghanistan with the United Service Organizations as a member of “Operation Hardwood: Hoops with Troops” and “Operation Hoop Talk: Talking Hoops with the Troops.” This past summer, Jones was part of a group of coaches who visited soldiers wounded in combat as well as soldiers who were � ghting on the front line in an effort to help boost their morale through the game of basketball. In 2008, Jones coached in a week-long basketball tournament with some of the best military players stationed overseas.

15

Eagles StrengthStrength and conditioning remains a major factor in the quest for athletic excellence. American University is committed to providing its student-athletes with the � nest � tness and weight equipment available.

Jacobs Fitness Center is located on the lower level of Bender Sports Center and houses the varsity weight room and cardiovascular training area. Head strength and conditioning coach Jason Riddell and his assistant Gabriel Naspinski work with each of the 16 varsity teams and make themselves available for individualized workouts for supplemental training.

16

Athletic TrainingFive full-time athletic trainers are on staff to provide daily treatment and application of therapeutic modalities to the student-athletes. They are led by head athletic trainer, Sean Dash. The athletic training staff is also available to provide evaluation, information on injury prevention and to administer rehabilitation, if necessary. AU also has two doctors, an orthopedic surgeon, and a general practitioner on staff.

The program serves to promote responsibility and initiative while encouraging student-athletes to take advantage of the rich resources offered at American University.

Academic counselors work with student-athletes on skills needed for success in the classroom, and provide information about educational options, university and NCAA requirements, as well as policies and procedures. The program focuses on the development of the total person through individual meetings, study hall and tutoring, and life skills workshops. AU’s academic support program coordinates with faculty, advisors, and coaches to support each student-athlete.

Washington, D.C.The National Mall is usually the center of every visitor’s trip to Washington, D.C. This tree-lined area of parkland stretches two and a half miles from the Potomac River to the United States Capitol on Capitol Hill and is adjoined by the White House. At one end of the National Mall, known as West Potomac Park, the Lincoln Memorial faces the Re� ecting Pool with a good view of Arlington Memorial Bridge, Constitution Gardens, the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Further towards Capitol Hill are a number of museums and galleries, among which are many of the Smithsonian Institution’s museums, including the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, and the Smithsonian Institution building.

American University

Situated within the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., American University’s traditional-style campus has much to offer students in the way of comfort, modern conveniences, and quick, easy access to city life.

Our 84-acre, tree-lined campus, which was designated as a National Arboretum, is located at the top of Embassy Row in one of the most attractive, safe, and residential areas of our nation’s capital.

The center of campus, also referred to as “the quad,” is a focal point of student life not only because our academic buildings line its grassy borders, but also because it’s a place to meet-and-greet with friends and student groups, catch an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee or take part in an after-class debrief with professors.

Another favorite spot on campus is the beach volleyball pit located between the athletics � elds. The adjacent grassy hillside is also a well known hangout for students on game days.

KermitWashington

Kermit Washington, a 1973 graduate with a degree in science, was inducted into the GTE Academic All-America Hall of Fame at ceremonies in Indianapolis on April 22, 1993.

A talented power forward and excellent scorer, Washington averaged 21 points and 21 rebounds per game in his senior year. In the four decades since, no Division I player has averaged 20 points and 20 rebounds per game for an entire season. He went on to an eight-year career in the NBA with Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, Portland, and Golden State.

From 1984-86, Washington headed the Oregon Governor’s Professionals Advocating Student Success (P.A.S.S.) program. He founded the “6th Man Foundation,” an organization which assisted disadvantaged Oregonians. He also appeared as a speaker for many youth groups on the subjects of self-worth and self-importance, working hard and saying no to drugs.

Today Kermit resides in the D.C. area and continues to run his basketball camp as well as his Project Contact Africa organization. Washington founded Project Contact Africa, an offshoot of his 6th Man Foundation, after visiting Rwanda in 1994. Project Contact Africa brings doctors, nurses and medicine to Nairobi’s Kiberia neighborhood, one of the largest slums in the world.

For the past two years, Kermit has held a � ve day fast to raise awareness and funding for the project. The fast, which was held on AU’s Main Quad, has raised more than $50,000 in donations. Each semester AU’s School of International Service sends students to Africa to work with Project Contact Africa’s clinic and school. For more information, please go to www.projectcontactafrica.com.

Quotes onKermit

“He (Kermit) was a player of such desire and passion to win that his overall game tended under normal circumstances to obscure his weaknesses...”

- Author David Halberstam“The Breaks of the Game”

“Someone like Kermit may come along only once in a lifetime. It has been a pleasure to be associated with him... his maturity on the court was outstanding, but I will remember him most for his all-around personality, his humor and his tremendous concern for others.”

- Tom YoungFormer AU Head Coach

“He wasn’t Magic Johnson on the court. He was a working man’s practitioner who became an NBA All-Star. The greatest basketball player in AU’s history beat the odds and his own limitations. That also should be his legacy as a player.”

- Tom KnottThe Washington Times, 5/1/85

“Nobody should get 40 points against us, but I have a great deal of respect for Kermit. He’s a great player and an even greater person and I was glad to see him go out like he did, even if it was against us.”

- Former Georgetown Head CoachJohn Thompson

1973 NITThe 1973 American University men’s basketball team enjoyed its most successful season to date with a 21-5 record and a � rst time bid to the National Invitational Tournament.

AU was led by Head Coach Tom Young, who helped transform the Eagles with an American Revolution led by seniors Kermit Washington and Wilbur Thomas.

The Eagles faced Louisville in the � rst round of the NIT in the storied Madison Square Garden. The tournament that year featured Notre Dame, North Carolina, Southern California and Rutgers. Before 15,000 fans in Madison Square Garden, 2,200 of them AU fans, the Eagles fell to the Cardinals, 97-84, despite Washington’s 29 points and Wilbur Thomas who added 26 as AU battled back to within � ve points late after a 22-point � rst half de� cit.

Washington was credited with putting AU basketball on the national map during his proli� c career with the Eagles. In 1972-73, he had one of the greatest seasons in NCAA history as he became the last player to average 20 points and 20 rebounds per game. He earned 1973 Associated Press All-America honors while leading the nation in rebounding for the second consecutive season.

Willie, Dickieand Beanie

Ask those who had to guard Willie Jones, ’64, or � ght Richard ‘Dickie’ Wells, ’65, for a rebound, and they’d tell you that the basketball program’s � rst African-Americans were more than pioneers. They were very talented players.

Burly, 6 feet 5 inches, and tough, Wells excelled at doing the so-called dirty work. “Dick knew his role, and that was to get rebounds and set picks for me,” says Jones, reminiscing in his of� ce at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), where he served as athletics director and men’s basketball coach. “He did his job well. He’d take my head off if I took a rebound away from him.” Wells, in fact, once pulled Jones aside during a game after the 5-foot-9-inch guard grabbed an errant shot. “You shoot all you want,” Wells told him angrily. “The rebounds are mine.”

Jones’ shooting ability is still legendary at AU and on the D.C. playgrounds. In his senior year, Jones became AU’s most proli� c scorer, passing the smooth-shooting Frank Weiss ’58. When the Eagles swept through the 1960 Mason-Dixon playoffs, Jones scored a tournament-record 85 points in three games. In his last game in an AU uniform on March 9, 1960, he set the NCAA record for points in a tournament game with 54 in the Eagles’ 101-91 loss to defending national champ Evansville. The record has yet to be broken.

James Howell wasn’t bad either. Nicknamed “Beanie,” the 6-foot guard, who passed on a football scholarship to Notre Dame after graduating from D.C.’s John Carroll High School, was good enough in his freshman year to score 26 points in a Mason-Dixon Conference playoff win over Baltimore’s Loyola College in 1959. With another African-American, Al Dillard ’64, he was also a mainstay on the 1960-61 and 1961-62 AU teams that won 15 and 10 games, respectively.

In nine seasons as head coach of the American University men’s basketball team, Jeff Jones has engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in school history. The

transformation of the men’s program has culminated over the last two seasons as the Eagles have made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament, including the school’s � rst ever trip to the ‘Big Dance.’

The 2008-09 Eagles enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history and capped the year off with a remarkable performance in the NCAA Tournament. American, led by its seven seniors, pushed Final Four participant Villanova to its limits, taking a 10-point lead into halftime and leading by as many as 14 points in the second half. Villanova eventually came back to win the game but not before the Eagles caught the attention of the nation.

American � nished the 2008-09 season with a 24-8 overall record, matching the program’s record for wins, and a 13-1 mark against the Patriot League. The Eagles led the nation in road wins with 11 and their 59.1 points allowed ranked 11th in the NCAA. For his efforts, Jones was acknowledged as the Patriot League Coach of the Year and the National Association of Basketball Coaches District 13 Coach of the Year. Jones passed American coaching great Stafford Cassell along the way as the program’s all-time winningest coach and � nished the season with 149 wins at American.

The highlight of an outstanding 2007-08 season was again a great performance in the NCAA Tournament. In the � rst round matchup played in Birmingham, Ala., America played a tightly contested game against Tennessee. The Eagles trailed by only one point, 50-49, with six minutes to play before the Volunteers pulled away. The NCAA Tournament appearance was the � rst in program history.

American earned its opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament with a 52-46 win over Colgate in the Patriot League Championship Game. The team went 21-12 on the year, marking the program’s � rst 20-win season since the 1989-90 season, and won its third Patriot League Regular Season Championship. Along the way American picked up a milestone victory, defeating regional foe and national basketball powerhouse Maryland in College Park, 67-59.

Jones has set the standard for coaching excellence at American and is the program’s all-time leader in wins with a record of 149-121. Jones has also guided American to four Patriot League Regular-Season Championships and � ve appearances in the Patriot League Tournament Championship Game. He has developed 18 players who have been named All-Patriot League, 20 players who have gone on to play professionally, two players who received Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors and two players, Patrick Doctor (2002) and Derrick Mercer (2008), who earned the Patriot League Player of the Year award.

Such success re� ects his impeccable basketball pedigree: A star point guard who held career and single-season records for assists at the University of Virginia, Jones is the only person to win National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championships as both a player and coach. Jones is a member of the Apollo High School Hall of Fame in his hometown of Owensboro, Ky., and grew up a student of the game. His father, Bob, coached Kentucky Wesleyan University, leading the team to the 1973 NCAA Division II title.

One of the most respected teachers in the collegiate ranks, Jones left the University of Rhode Island, where he served as an assistant on Jerry DeGregorio’s staff during the 1999-2000 season, to take the helm of American basketball in April 2000, becoming the 17th coach in the school’s history. In just his second season at AU, Jones led the Eagles to the second-best turnaround in NCAA Division I history. The team � nished with an 18-12 overall record, an 11-game improvement. The 18 victories were the highest win total for the program since 1989-90 and its � rst winning campaign since 1990-91.

captured their � rst Patriot League Regular Season title, fashioning a 10-4 conference record in the process. The top seed in the league tournament, the Eagles advanced to the championship game only to fall to Holy Cross, 55-52, before then the largest championship crowd in league history and just the second sellout in the history of American’s Bender Arena. The game was also played in front of a national audience on ESPN. Earlier that same season AU gained national recognition with a 77-72 win at Florida State, becoming the � rst Patriot League school to ever defeat a member of the renowned Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

During the 2002-03 season, Jones led the Eagles to a victory over cross-town rival George Washington and a regular season win over Holy Cross. The Eagles � nished second in the regular season and reached the Patriot League Championship Game for a second time.

In 2003-04 Jones guided the Eagles to their second Patriot League Regular Season Championship in three years and led AU to the Patriot League Championship Game for the third straight year. AU � nished with its third-consecutive winning season for the � rst time in 13 years and had a six-game winning streak for the � rst time in 14 years. The Eagles earned an invitation to the Rainbow Classic, where they went 2-1, including a win over NCAA Tournament team East Tennessee State.

The Eagle Has Landed

Jones also led the Eagles to a winning season in 2004-05, as American � nished with a 16-12 record and an 8-6 mark in the Patriot League, good for third place. With the winning record, Jones had guided AU to above-.500 marks in four straight seasons, a feat which had not been accomplished since the 1974-75 season, when AU completed a string of � ve straight winning seasons. Jones’s reputation helped the Eagles earn an invitation to the 2004-05 Preseason NIT.

In 2006-07 a resurgent AU team achieved a 16-14 record. The winning record marked a period of nearly unprecedented success at AU, as � ve of the previous six teams had winning seasons, a record accomplished only four times before in the team’s history.

• When he became the University of Virginia’s eighth head coach at age 29, Jones was the youngest coach in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In eight years at the helm, he compiled a record of 146-104 for a .584 winning percentage. He led Virginia to six postseason appearances (� ve NCAA, one NIT), one ACC Regular Season Championship, and four 20-win campaigns.

He also directed the Cavaliers to � ve of their top six seasons for � eld-goal percentage defense.

• Virginia made its � fth NCAA Tournament appearance in seven seasons under Jones in 1996-97. Finishing that season with an overall mark of 18-13, the Cavaliers fell to Iowa in a West Region � rst-round game.

American University Men’s BasketballAmerican University Men’s Basketball• The 1994-95 season saw Jones lead Virginia to a � nal mark of 25-9. The program advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight and earned a share of its � rst ACC regular-season crown since 1983. Virginia � nished that season ranked eighth in the � nal CNN/USA Today poll and 13th in the � nal Associated Press media poll. Those were the highest � nal national rankings by a Virginia team since 1983.

• In 1992-93 Jones became the only coach in conference history to win at least 20 games in each of his � rst three seasons. He led Virginia to a 21-10 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament East Regional � nals.

• In 1991-92 Jones’s Cavaliers posted a 20-13 record and went on to win the NIT Championship. As a result, Jones became the � rst person to win an NIT title as both a player and a coach and is still the only person to accomplish the feat.

• In his � rst season as head coach at Virginia, Jones led the 1990-91 squad to a 21-12 overall record. He was the only rookie coach in the nation that year to lead his team to the NCAA Tournament.

Before his eight-year run as head coach, Jones served as an full-time assistant coach on Terry Holland’s Virginia staff from 1986 to 1990, a part-time assistant from 1983-85 and a graduate assistant from 1982-83. During his eight seasons as an assistant, Jones was a part of a Cavaliers program which accomplished an overall record of 162-95 (.630), participating in six NCAA Tournaments while advancing to the Final Four in 1984 and the Elite Eight in 1989. Virginia also competed in one NIT during his tenure.

A Big-Time Player

Before beginning his coaching career, Jones made his mark on the national college basketball scene as a player. After starring at Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky., he went on to become point guard for the University of Virginia from 1978-82. As a four-year starter for the Cavaliers, Jones was known as a leader and proli� c passer. With Jones directing a potent offense, UVa compiled an overall record of 102-28 (.785). Jones led the Cavaliers to two NCAA Tournaments and two NIT appearances in his four seasons with Virginia advancing to the 1981 NCAA Final Four and the 1980 NIT Championship. He graduated from Virginia in 1982 with a bachelor of science degree in psychology.

Jones � nished his career as Virginia’s all-time assist leader (598) while also setting the single-season mark for assists

with 200 during the 1979-80 season. Later, as head coach, he saw both of those records eclipsed by his own player, John Crotty. Jones served as

team captain as a senior during the 1981-82 season and played in 129 games during

his career. During that time he averaged 6.6 points and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the

� eld and 74.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Jones was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches 2007 Silver Anniversary

All-America Team along with Dan Calandrillo (Seton Hall),

Eric “Sleepy” Floyd (Georgetown), Pete Metzelaars (Wabash) and Ricky

Pierce (Rice). The award is given to former collegiate stars who have gone on to distinguish themselves after their college careers.

Jones and his wife, Danielle, live in Arlington, Va. He is the father of three children, Meghann, Madison Perry, and Jeffrey Robert.

During that time, he recruited many of the school’s most accomplished players, including four of the top 25 all-time leading scorers in program history and the former career assists leader.

He spent the next three years on the West Coast at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, before returning east as an assistant at Siena College. In each of his three seasons at Siena, the Saints were among the top � ve nationally in scoring, averaging at least 86.0 points per game. In addition, Siena played in three consecutive Metro

Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championship games, won two MAAC titles, compiled a 66-27 record, and

Throughout his career, Burke has been recognized for his work by various basketball publications

including a spring 2008 FOXSports.com survey of his peers that placed him among the top-10 assistant coaches in the nation.

A Silver Spring, Md., native, Burke played basketball for coach Dick Myers at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. After high school, he was an MVP and team captain at Haverford College until he was sidelined by a torn ACL during his senior season.

One of the � n-est basketball players to ever don the AU Red and Blue, Gordon Austin set a standard of excellence during his four years on the h a r d w o o d . Making his

mark on the school record book, Austin is the all-time leader in assists for a ca-reer (691) and a season (247). He also ranks second in career steals (235) and steals in a season (91), though he held both records upon graduation. As a senior, he � nished fourth in assists per game in NCAA Division I and was named Honorable Mention All-America by the Sporting News. Yet, it was not Austin’s statistical achievements that he is best known for. A winner in every sense of the word, he helped lead the Eagles to an impressive 78-39 record during his four years, a run that is un-matched by any other four-year span in school history. Included in that total were back-to-back National Invitational Tournament appearances and one of the biggest wins ever for the program when an Austin-led Eagle squad de-feated � fth-ranked Georgetown, 62-61, in the Capital Centre on Dec. 16, 1982.

Arthur Leon Beatty, Jr. grew up in Washing-ton, D.C., play-ing basketball. By age 13, Ar-thur reached over six feet tall and went on to play varsity basketball at McKinley Tech-

nical Senior High School. Upon gradu-ation he reached 7’1’’ and accepted a

scholarship to American University to play basketball. Among his accomplish-ments, he was recognized as the Most Outstanding Senior Athlete and named to the All Metro Basketball Team in 1968. Beatty � nished second in the NCAAs in rebounding as a junior and was AU’s leading scorer in 1968. He was also in-cluded in the 1968-69 Edition of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Uni-versities and Colleges.” Beatty � nished his career with 1,126 rebounds, which is third all-time at American. He also holds the third (458 rebounds) and ninth best (390) s i n g l e -season re-bounding years in AU histo-ry. Arthur g r a d u -ated from American with a Bachelor of Arts De-gree in Interior Design. Drafted in the third round by two U.S. professional teams - the ABA’s New York Nets and the NBA’s Phoenix Suns - in 1968, Ar-thur accepted an offer from the Belgium pro club, Racing Mechelen, which in-cluded free tuition at Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. While playing three games a week in Belgium, he also studied his passion for the arts. Arthur said, “I made my choice to become an artist instead of a ballplayer, and I’ve never regretted it.”

Known as “Moe” to his t e a m m a t e s and friends, George Brown played four sports dur-ing his reign at American. He was very humble even though he was

a football star and had great athletic ability. His coaches boasted his consis-tent effort and hard work during practice and during competition. George played guard for the basketball team and had devastating range on the court. He was a smooth, level-headed player who tended to keep his team poised with his leadership qualities. George also led the way for establishing a baseball team at American. In 1938, he wrote articles on why there should be a team and had several students sign a petition. Also in 1938, George received the Most Valu-able Player Award for the football team at American. He was a great athlete, a good scholar and a friend to everyone.

David L. CarrascoInducted 1998

If you are ever traveling west into El Paso on Interstate 10, you might come across the David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center. This mural is dedicated to the former AU

basketball coach and athletics direc-tor. Named the 1958 college division national coach of the year, Carrasco’s real commitment was towards integra-tion. “He wasn’t always about winning,” says his son David. During a three-year run starting with the 1957-58 season the Eagles made three straight NCAA college division national tournaments under Carrasco. Also, under Carrasco’s command the team won three Mason Dixon Conference titles and earned two NCAA tournament appearances (small college division).

Carrasco is one of only two coaches in Ameri-can’s history to have four straight win-ning seasons. A leader in the area of racial integration at the college

men’s basketball level, Carrasco was recruited by the State Department to teach sports abroad after coaching. David Carrasco passed away in 1990, but his memory lives on in the lives of his players and in the ideals he sought to impart.

Stafford H. “Pop” Cassell coached AU basketball for 11 years and compiled a record of 155-94 from 1937-1942 and from 1 9 4 6 - 1 9 5 2 . His teams had six consecu-

tive winning seasons. Cassell was a longtime Athletic Director at American and also coached the football team. However, while his love may have been AU athletics, his biggest contribution to American came later when he became a special assistant to the President of the University, Hurst Anderson.

During his time work-ing for the President, the Univer-sity went t h r o u g h the largest b u i l d i n g phase of any time in its history. One project that did not get � nished before Cassell passed away was a new � eld house for the athletic program. However, on Jan. 15, 2003, the basket-ball � oor in Bender Arena was renamed in honor of him. His widow and family was on hand to celebrate the unveiling of the Stafford H. “Pop” Cassell basket-ball � oor.

Ed lettered in basketball, track, cross-country and baseball during his years at AU. His versatility as an athlete earned him 10 letters as a varsity member. On the basketball � oor is where Clements

really shined. During his ten-ure at AU, the Eagles won three Mason-Dixon Con-ference titles and were in the NCAAs (small college division) every year.

His outstanding skills as a guard allowed him to average 14 points per game. Ed scored a career-high in the NCAAs versus Wagner, netting 37 points. Ed also served two years as the president of the Varsity Club, was chosen as the Outstanding Senior Athlete and was se-lected for the Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Ed was a tough competitor and his discipline and hard work in athletics earned him a spot in AU history.

Bart was a captain for the baseball and basket-ball teams at American. He also lettered in football and tennis. Dur-ing the ’42-43 season, Bart was runner-up

in the scoring title in basketball, aver-aging 17.5 points per game. In 1947, Bart was awarded the Jack Dempsey Trophy as outstanding athlete on the American University campus. Off the court, Bart pursued a career in the Navy � ying � ghter planes and working for the Naval Air Transport Service. A native Washingtonian, his presence on campus will not be forgotten.

In Brian’s � -nal year, he capped off his s p e c t a c u l a r career by be-ing selected the 1993 CAA Player of the Year. He av-eraged 24.1 points per game in CAA

conference games and 22.7 points overall. He dazzled the crowd versus Mount Saint Mary’s with a career-high 42 points and he scored 30 or more points on six different occasions. He also recorded � ve double-doubles and ranked among the top 10 in six differ-ent offensive and defensive categories in the CAA.

Gilgeous ended his career as the sec-ond all-time scoring leader in AU history with 2,013 points. He is a member of the 500 rebound club, currently ninth with 688. He is in the top 10 in over 10 offensive categories in Eagle history.

“Ish” played basketball dur-ing his years at AU and was known for his great ball-han-dling skills and � erce competi-tiveness on the court. He was the � rst player to reach 1,200

points and remains on the all-time scor-ing list in AU history with 1,371. As a freshman, he scored 238 points and was chosen for the Mason-Dixon Con-ference Tournament team.

In his junior year, he was captain of the varsity squad and was again chosen to the Conference and All-District teams.

Ish had very large hands, which helped him lead his team in rebounds and as-sists during his senior year.

In his years at AU (1957-60), Jones now ranks third all-time in points with 1,982 and is on many top 10 lists in the offensive categories. In 1960, Jones set an NCAA

Division II Tournament game record with 54 points against Evansville.

Jones was an outstanding free throw shooter with records in free throw at-tempts in a season (256), career (814) and free throws made in a season (204). In his senior year, he became AU’s most proli� c scorer and was named a NCAA college division First Team All-American. Also, Jones was invited to the 1960 and 1964 U.S. Olympic team tryouts. Jones is one of only two play-ers in AU history to have their jerseys retired.

Bob was an expert ball handler on the basketball court and was known as one of the best set-shot artists in the city of Wash ington. In 1948, he was placed on the Washing-

ton Star’s All-District College second squad. He was part of the 1949 Mason-Dixon Conference Team, averaging 10 points per game as the Eagles went 16-8 that year.

Bill Mason was a four-year let-terwinner on the basketball team and was a starting for-ward during the 1964-65 season. He was the 1966 recipient of the Stafford H.

Cassell Award and named the AU Busi-ness School’s top scholar-athlete.

Most noteably, Bill was the starting cen-ter� elder on AU’s baseball team from 1962-66. He set both the single season and career records for batting average, home runs, runs batted in and slugging percentage. In 1966 Bill became AU’s � rst-ever player selected in the Major League Baseball draft, being selected by the New York Yankees.

Frank Ross is one of the best basketball players to ever don an Eagles uniform. He ranks in the top-10 in 12 separate sta-tistical catego-ries, including fourth all-time

in career scoring with 1,921 points. In his senior season, he � nished ranked eighth in the nation with a 25.3 points per game average, the second-highest scoring average in school history. His 86 three-pointers in his senior season - the � rst in which the NCAA imple-mented the three-point line - are still the school’s single-season mark and, de-spite playing just one season with the rule, Ross ranks 11th all-time at AU in career three-pointers.

Ross was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the � fth round (108th pick) of the 1987 National Basketball Associa-

tion draft. He also participated in free agent camp for the Washington Bullets prior to the 1988 NBA season.

Ross graduated from American Univer-sity in 1987, with his Bachelor of Arts in Communications.

Hugo “Dutch” Schulze took over as coach of the Ameri-can basketball program in 1952. Schulze had the most success in his � rst season as his team went 15-8 and ad-

vanced all the way to the Mason- Dixon Conference title game before losing 65-62 to Loyola of Maryland in overtime. Schulze also served as an athletic di-rector at American University.

Ed Tapscott began his coaching career as an assistant coach at American Uni-versity under current Maryland head coach Gary Williams. Tapscott spent four seasons as Williams’ assistant, helping the Eagles amass 72 wins, in-cluding a school-record 24 wins in the 1980-81 season. During his time as an assistant coach, Tapscott graduated from AU’s prestigious Washington Col-

lege of Law in 1980.

In 1982, Tap-scott was el-evated to AU’s head coach. In eight sea-sons, Tapscott � nished with 119 wins, the second-most in

school history (behind AU Hall of Fame namesake Stafford Cassell). Tapscott’s best seasons were his � rst (1982-83) and last (1989-90), when he went 20-10 and 20-9, respectively.

After Tap-scott left AU, he went on to be-come vice president of player per-sonnel and basketball operations and served as interim president and general man-ager of the New York Knicks. During Tapscott’s reign with New York, the Knicks made two trips to the NBA Fi-nals (1994 and 1999) and advanced to at least the second round of the play-offs every year. In addition, Tapscott worked in the front of� ce of the Milwau-kee Bucks, Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Bobcats.

Wilbur was a basketball star on a team that went 53-25 during one of the most successful eras in AU basketball history. AU participated in the NIT in 1973 for the � rst time ever and regularly beat teams like Georgetown, St. John’s, George Washington and Temple. Wilbur had great basketball talent, but it was his toughness that made him a stand-out player. He was not the biggest player on the court, but his toughness helped him to grab rebounds. He set freshman and sophomore records for scoring dur-

ing the 1971-73 seasons.

As a freshman he averaged 28.6 points per game, net-ting 48 in one contest. As a s o p h o m o r e , he averaged 23.9 points per

game ,including a 26 point effort against Louisville in AU’s � rst appearance as a Division I squad.

Thomas is fourth in career scoring av-erage (19.8), sixth in all-time scoring (1,543), seventh in all-time rebounding (803) and still has the 10th best single-season scoring record with 561 points. Wilbur loved the camaraderie and com-petition of basketball and he deserves his place in American University his-tory.

Kermit Wash-ington is one of the greatest in NCAA history. Wa s h i n g t o n was credited with putting AU basketball on the national map with a pro-li� c career with the Eagles.

In 1972-73, he had one of the greatest seasons in NCAA history, as he became the last player to average 20 points and 20 rebounds per game. He earned 1973 Associated Press All-America honors while leading the nation in rebounding for the second consecutive season.

Following the season, Washington was selected as the fourth pick in the NBA draft. He currently holds every Ameri-can rebounding record. Washington was also an Academic All-American in 1972 and 1973 respectively.

His AU accomplishments include eighth all-time in scoring despite playing only three years (1,467), third in scoring average (20.1) and � rst in rebounds (1,478). He is also eighth on the free throws made list with 313. Kermit Wash-ington’s uniform is displayed in the Bas-ketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. among other stellar b a s k e t b a l l legends. He and Willie Jones are the only AU bas-ketball play-ers to have their jerseys retired.

Perhaps the � nest ball play-er to take the hardcourt at American was Frank Weiss. In his years at AU, 1955-58, he became one of the Eagles’ most potent scorers.

Frank came from Brooklyn, N.Y., where he was a member of the 1954 Lafayette High Championship basketball team.

Frank Weiss was known to always hus-tle and work hard and was very popular with his teammates. He had 1,632 ca-reer points.

Jimmy Wil-liams took over as the head coach at Amer-ican at the start of the 1962-63 season after spending sev-eral seasons as an assistant coach for the Eagles. Wil-

liams graduated from American after lettering in basketball and baseball. His best season as a basketball coach was his � rst when he led the Eagles to a record of 10-14. Williams was also the golf coach at American and guided his team to the Mason-Dixon Conference crown.
