6 POONHOUR - H CHARLIE SPOONHOUR - HEAD COACH CH When Charlie Spoonhour was named the head coach of the UNLV men s basketball program in March of 2001, he placed few expectations on his new team. In fact, the main thing he wanted was for those in and around the program to have fun. What the 12th head coach in the program s history couldn t have predicted, or anyone else for that matter before the season began, was just how much fun it would be. His first UNLV team won 21 games and earned a spot in the postseason with a berth in the National Invitation Tournament. His squad defeated Arizona State in the NIT s first round for the program s first postseason victory since 1997 and it led the Mountain West Conference in scoring average (78.3) and steals (9.84). For his efforts, Spoonhour was named the 2002 United States Basketball Writers Association s District VIII Coach of the Year. In 17 seasons as a Division I head coach, Spoonhour has earned an impressive career mark of (.651). Spoonhour, 63, spent seven years as the head coach at Saint Louis University and finished third on the school s career victories list with a mark of (.575). He retired from Saint Louis on March 5, 1999, after heading into his final season ranked 26th among active NCAA Division I coaches (minimum 10 years) in winning percentage with a.662 mark. During his tenure, he led the Billikens to postseason tournaments in four seasons with three trips to the NCAA Tournament and one NIT bid. When Saint Louis earned a spot in the 1994 NCAA Tournament, it was the school s first such trip since That same season, the Billikens also climbed into the national rankings for the first time in 29 years, which earned Spoonhour national coach of the year honors from the USBWA. Spoonhour s success also helped the Billikens rank among the nation s top 10 in attendance, including averaging 17,708 fans in , which ranked sixth nationally. His best recruiting class at SLU included Larry Hughes, the Billikens first McDonald s All-American. Hughes currently plays for the NBA s Golden State Warriors. During Hughes freshman season (his only season at SLU) in , Spoonhour earned his 100th victory at SLU and his 300th career win as a Division I head coach. SLU s trip to the Big Dance in 1995 marked the first time the Billikens had ever made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament. SLU defeated Minnesota in the first round that year to give the program its first NCAA Tournament win in 43 years. Spoonhour s ability to adjust to the evolution of college basketball is what truly has impressed many observers. Although Spoonhour was known for his patient, possession-oriented style of play when he was head coach at Southwest Missouri State University, Saint Louis became the top three-point shooting team in its conference as well as one of the top point-producing squads. During the regular season, the Billikens ranked ninth in the nation in threepoint goals per game (9.1), 15th nationally in three-point shooting percentage (39.5) and fourth in the nation in scoring margin (+14.2). Meanwhile, Spoonhour s trademark defense was still having its effect as SLU ranked eighth in the nation in scoring defense (62.6) that season. Spoonhour s arrival at SLU immediately impacted a struggling program that won only five games during Spoonhour s first SLU team posted 12 wins in not enough to satisfy Spoonhour, but enough for Basketball Times to proclaim the program as one of the most improved in the nation. Spoonhour spent the previous nine seasons building a basketball phenomenon at Southwest Missouri State. He arrived on the Springfield, Mo., campus in 1983, and things were never quite the same. Spoonhour drove the Bears to five NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT bids. The Bears won-loss record grew to with Spoonhour at the helm, which included four Mid-Continent Conference titles and one Missouri Valley Conference championship. Three Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year awards followed. Spoonhour s 38-year climb through the coaching ranks began at Rocky Comfort (Mo.) High School in He spent seven seasons at the interscholastic level compiling a record and a.789 winning percentage. He has compiled a cumulative head coaching record of (.711) in 32 seasons. His first collegiate opportunity came as an assistant at SMSU in During his four-year stay, the Bears won two MIAA championships and were runners-up once. Moberly (Mo.) Junior College came calling for Spoonhour s services in In two years, Moberly reached the Regional Tournament final twice, winning once and placing third overall nationally. His outstanding contribution as head coach and a record at Moberly earned Spoonhour a place in Moberly s Basketball Hall of Fame as he was inducted in Spoonhour left Moberly to become an assistant at the University of Oklahoma in He spent one season with the Sooners before becoming head coach at Southeastern Community College in Burlington, Iowa. In six seasons, Spoonhour took the Blackhawks to four Regional Tournament championship games and three National Juco Tournament appearances. Four Regional Coach of the Year honors would be bestowed upon Spoonhour in his time at SECC as his Hawks went He compiled a record with a.765 winning percentage as a junior college coach, which earned an induction into the National Junior College Athletic Association Hall of Fame in He again was an assistant coach in 1981 when he joined Moe Iba s staff at the University of Nebraska. The Cornhuskers twice reached the Big Eight Tournament semifinals and gained an NIT berth. At the conclusion of the season, OSPECTUS...6

7 POONHOUR - H CHARLIE SPOONHOUR.) - HEAD COACH CH (CONT CONT.).) Spoonhour got the call from Southwest Missouri and he s never looked back. Spoonhour s experience goes beyond the boundaries of the United States, as he was an assistant coach for the Mexican National Team at the 1973 Moscow World Games and he spoke at the 1978 national camps in Sweden and Denmark. Additionally, he participated in the 1988 European Olympic trials clinic in Holland. In addition to the Moberly Junior College Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Junior College Basketball Hall of Fame, Spoonhour is also a member of the Springfield (Mo.) Hall of Fame (1997) and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame (1994). Following his retirement from SLU in 1999, Spoonhour spent two years in the broadcast booth serving as an analyst on college basketball broadcasts. Born June 23, 1939, in Mulberry, Kan., Spoonhour was raised in Rogers, Ark. He graduated from the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark., in 1961 with a bachelor s degree in physical education. Spoonhour s three-year letterman career in basketball at Ozarks preceded his coaching career. He later earned his master s in education in 1972 from the University of Arkansas. He is married to the former Vicki Korner and has two sons from a previous marriage: Jay (31), who works for his dad as an assistant coach, and Stephen (27).
